That’s right, Overthinking It was back at New York Comic-Con, and we’ve got the crazy pictures to prove it!
Compared to last year, our coverage won’t be quite as extensive–the lack of big summermoviepreviews is mostly to blame for that–but look out for video and commentary over the next few days. Until then, enjoy these pictures from the convention floor.
(Update: if you’re reading this through an RSS feed, you probably won’t be able to see all of the witty captions I wrote for the pictures. Click through to the article to see them.)
