    Ben Folds Five, Iron Fists and a Batman Fight Open New York Comic-Con 2012

    By ByHandMedia  |  Posted October 12, 2012  |  New York City, New York
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     ByHandMedia photographed these images of Ben Folds Five performing at the Jacob Javits Convention Center for New York Comic-Con in Manhattan, New York. He says, ' I'm a fan. I am a fan of popular culture. I love movies, comics and science fiction. Popular culture is one of my favorite subjects to shoot.' He says the concert was very intimate, which allowed you to connect with the crowd and the music.
    - Jamescia, CNN iReport producer

    These are some images from my photo essay coverage for FilmFetish.com taken during the first day of the 2012 edition of New York Comic-Con. The highlights of the day included getting a free movie poster for The Man With the Iron Fists, free pizza during a panel given by Gene Roddenberry Entertainment, getting a comic signed by filmmaker John Carpenter, and a free concert by the group Ben Folds Five.

    The attached photos include: Ben Folds Five performing in the IGN Theater at Javits Center; The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman; various costumed super heroes; the eldest son of the Ghetto Brothers' founder Benjy Melendez, who looks remarkably like Bruce Lee's son Brandon; martial arts film historian and writer Ric Meyers, standing in front of a wall of movie posters for RZA's upcoming film Man With the Iron Fists; a group of Vamplets; the Legendary Films booth, displaying costumes from their upcoming movie Pacific Rim; an Alien video game exhibit; and more costumes characters about to brawl (for fun and the cameras).

    New York Comic-Con celebrates popular culture in all of its forms such as movies, TV, sci-fi books, manga, anime, and of course, comics. The event, which is celebrating its 7th year at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, is the second largest of its type in the United States, behind San Diego Comic-Con.
