Suit Up And Make History @ NEW YORK COMIC CON

SEPTEMBER 9, 2026 – Suit up, Spidey fans! Jazwares, an official costume partner for Marvel’s Spider-Man, is teaming up with Disney Consumer Products to host a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® official attempt for the largest gathering of people dressed as Spider-Man during New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2026. The event arrives on the heels of the Super Hero’s latest blockbuster chapter and celebrates the enduring, cross-generational, global appeal of Spider-Man.

Taking place on Thursday, October 8, at the Javits Center, the family-friendly experience invites fans to become part of Superhero history. Attendees will gather in one place to break the current record of 685 participants and turn NYCC into the largest real-world gathering of costumed Spider-Man fans. The official record attempt is scheduled to take place around 8:00 PM ET at the NYCC Main Stage, with an official Guinness World Records adjudicator on-site to verify the results. As a celebration of one of the world’s most beloved superheroes, the event will unite fans of all ages under one iconic red-and-blue suit.

“Spider-Man has always been about the power of everyday people stepping up to do something extraordinary. It’s why I’m thrilled to host this moment and lead the fan community in making pop-culture history live at NYCC,” said Jeremy Padawer, President of Jazwares. “As an official costume partner for Marvel, this is our way of bringing that spirit to life for fans in a way only Jazwares can do. We’re inviting Spider-Man fans to show up, suit up, and help us make history.”

Open to NYCC attendees with a valid Thursday or 4-Day badge, the high-energy fan experience will bring together the Spider-Man community for an evening of entertainment, surprises, and record-breaking excitement. To help fans fully step into the moment, Jazwares will provide complimentary Spider-Man costumes in a range of adult and kids' sizes (limit one per person, while supplies last), along with commemorative enamel pins for those participating in the record attempt. NYCC attendees can register here to participate and retrieve costumes on Thursday, October 8, beginning at 1:00 PM ET in the Javits Center Inner Roadway at the Jazwares fan zone booth. Once suited up, fans can begin lining up for the attempt at 6:30 PM in the Main Stage Queue Hall. The official record attempt will take place around 8:00 PM. 

Fans can also bring their own Spider-Man suits, provided they meet the official Guinness World Records guidelines. Costumes must represent a complete classic Spider-Man look, including the signature red mask, boots, and red-and-blue suit with web detailing and spider emblem. Alternate suits from officially recognized comics or films are welcome, but all participants must be dressed as Spider-Man. Other characters from the Spider-Man universe will not be counted toward the record.

Whether longtime comic fans, families, or first-time conventiongoers, attendees will have the chance to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime moment during one of the biggest pop culture weekends of the year. With thousands expected to gather, Jazwares aims not only to break the record but shatter it, turning New York Comic Con into a sea of Spider-Man suits and a global symbol of fandom at its most powerful.

Lenni Reviews: “Champion of the Rose” Vol. 1, by Cat Aquino & Dominique Duran

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Princess Rosa’s brother tragically dies, making her hair to the throne of the Empire of Sagrada. As the largest kingdom in the Known World, Rosa looks forward to serving her people and the Dying God they all worship but instead, her father holds a tournament where the prize is her hand in marriage. Desperate to become queen and make real change, she enlists Rey as her champion. Rey is a swordsman from one of the kingdom’s colonies and only wants to earn enough money to return to his native lands.

It’s interesting that Rosa is a mixed-race princess of a kingdom fueled by colonizing others. She has to come to terms with what her kingdom has done to people who look just like her. She may have been relatively sheltered as a princess, but that doesn’t stop the whispers and judgment. Rey is a transman and a fucking badass, who literally and figuratively is infected by the evils done by those who’ve conquered his people. The combat is fantastically done. It’s ruthless and dark. It reminds me of Centuria, making this a damn good dark fantasy. 4.5 out of 5.

Batman: KnightFall Part Review

Batman: Knightfall – Part 1: Knightfall is an R-rated animated movie directed by Jeff Wamester. It adapts the famous 1993 DC Comics storyline where Bane destroys Arkham Asylum. He frees Gotham's villains to exhaust Bruce Wayne before a final showdown

After a climate disaster known as The Regression, humanity is stuck in a perpetual winter. Detective Lynx Takuma and her enhanced cat partner Skua, have investigating a series of deaths where strange feathers were found at the scene.

While this throws a lot of lore and abilities and backstories at you, it feels a bit flat. I think it’s because a lot of the backgrounds are solid whites. But it is a winter dystopia so I can’t judge it too hard for that. I do love a hard boiled lesbian detective with cool powers and a weird mystery brewing in a complicated world. I think it’s pretty cool so far! 3.5 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

The Hishaku, who are the ones who killed Chihiro’s father, have captured Char and Chihiro goes to rescue her before they can use her unique abilities for evil.

This volume focuses on defeating Genichi Sojo, who possesses the Cloud Gouger blade. They have one heck of a battle and it’s fantastically done. They fit in a lot of lore about the weapons while the actions takes place. There isn’t a chunk of exposition when it comes to back story or the sword’s powers. I’m also glad we get to see more of Chihiro’s father in the flashbacks. He’s got a fun personality and balances out his very stoic son. 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Books, Iced Coffee & a Side of Dragons” by Amanda Lovelace & Raquel Travé

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Lucinda owns Little Lighthouse Books, a struggling book store. She deals daily with the antics of her dragon and her crush on Aster, the owner of the coffee shop next door.

This does have “Tea Dragon Society” vibes in that this book has the coziest vibes and beautiful colors. The drama is very low stakes and grounded. This has great representation and while it’s not subtle, it doesn’t need to be. It’s a cute little sapphic romance and a slice of magical joy that’s sorely needed. 4.5 out of 5.

Flame Con 2026

I had the pleasure of being invited to Flame Con again this year, and I was so excited! The panels I decided to attend were “Knight Life: Exploring and Crafting Queer Knight Tales” and “Kiana Khansmith with PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE I DON’T WANT TO BE A MAGICAL GIRL” because I love that web series. I love indie animation and indie creators in general, so it was so cool to be there. I was also interested in “Graphic Pride: Celebrating BL, Yuri, & LGBTQ+ Manga with Kodansha” but it’s hard to gauge what will be cool for a library collection. I’ll just have to settle for nabbing new titles for myself.

Here’s some fun photos of what I saw and what I bought:

I’m really excited to dig into that ARC of “Dead New World” since it sounds like a crazy selection of genres and I love genre-mashing.

All in all, it was a great time, as usual. Everyone there is always so welcoming and sweet; all of it is such a comfortable atmosphere. If you’re into smaller cons, this is a fantastic one to attend and I cant wait for next year!

My Adventures With Superman Season 3 Ep 2 Review

Lenni Reviews: "Spacewalking With You" Vol. 1, by Inuhiko Doronoda

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Kobayashi is an underachiever, completely apathetic towards school, and can't seem to focus. When a new student, Uno, arrives, Uno is overly enthusiastic and on the spectrum, opening Kobayashi's eyes to different ways of thinking and doing things.

After so much yaoi and romance, I can't express how refreshing this beautiful friendship is. I know what I pick to read, and I'm not ashamed of it, but I will say this is a breath of fresh air. I admit to tearing up. So far, the whole cast is fantastic and positive. Uno has his breakdowns, and the art represents this as well as a neurotypical person like me can say they do. Those are the most intense parts. It's as if you took the romance (and possible death omens) out of Insomniacs After School and replaced it with mismatched friends. I love it! 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Steel of the Celestial Shadows” Vol. 1, by Daruma Matsuura

Ryundo Konosuke is destitute, homeless, and cursed to repel any metal he is near so he can’t wield a sword. As his mother wished for him to become a warrior, his dreams seem impossible and he decides to take his own life. However, he is saved by a mysterious woman who offers to marry him.

As the volume unfolds, I managed to get attached to Konosuke and wanted him to be happy. It’s a cute story so far; his new wife is genuine and they get alone well. The art is expressive and the fantasy elements leave just enough unsolved to make you keep reading and find out more. It’s intriguing. 3.5 out of 5.

Chihiro Rokuhira, son of the most famous swordsmith in the land, Kunishige . When Kunishige is killed and six of his enchanted swords stolen, Chihiro goes on a mission to recover the lost blades and avenge his father’s murder.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting a period piece like Steel of Celestial Shadows but the clothes are more modern and there are flip phones. This kicks off with some great battles and lore. A lot was unexpected and fresh; Kunishige is kind of a goof instead of a grumpy, vengeance driven sword master and I really like it. The art style give us some beautiful fights and abilities and in general has a fast pace with a wide variety of characters. I look forward to more. 4 out of 5.

The Dangers in My Heart The Movie Review

By Sean Tucker

Romance anime only works if the emotions actually move somewhere. The Dangers in My Heart earned fans by taking its time—letting its characters stumble, mess up, and grow, all while telling a middle school love story that felt way more real than most. So when they announced a movie, everyone expected more. More drama, maybe, or at least something that’d push Kyotaro and Anna’s story further. Something bigger. Unfortunately, what we got is something closer to a trip down memory lane rather than a new chapter. That doesn’t make the film bad at all, don’t get me wrong, but disappointed would be the word I would use.

The Dangers in My Heart The Movie centers around a concert by Primary Color led by Kana Ichikawa. She is performing a new song titled “To Be Continued,” which is written by her brother Kyotaro and is inspired by his relationship with Anna Yamada. The song centers around Kyotaro’s inner feelings, which were once dark and chaotic but are now polished into lyrics that can be performed on stage. The movie is perfect for anyone who has never read the manga or watched the anime series. The film is a retelling of the major beats of the anime series. We see how Kyotaro is socially withdrawn, a dramatic loner whose imagination runs wild into morbid fantasy. Anna, on the other hand, is bright and emotionally open, and she slowly chipped away at his guard. Key moments from the show are present but the problem with this condensed version is that it doesn’t feel earned. A show that you have time to connect with the characters throughout two seasons. The film is 1 hour and 43 minutes, which isn’t enough time to really connect. Quality is not the issue, but familiarity is. If you watched the anime, then rewatching the scenes without an alternate perspective, thematic lens, or deep exploration will keep you at home. Newcomers can watch this and then go home and watch the series in full to get a better appreciation of the show.

As far as animation and voice acting goes it is still solid as the anime series. The expressive character work, facial expressions, and Kyotaro's awkwardness are a pleasure to see. The concert sequences stand out the most with the lighting, the stage presence, and the timing of the music, which feels more cinematic than the show. Those are the segments where you get movie quality and breathe life into the film.

As far as pacing goes, this is where the film struggles. In episodic format, the slow progression and moments are earned, arcs and characters have a chance to breathe. However, when it’s at a rapid pace like the film, with jumping from key moment to key moment, it feels like a highlight reel. Newcomers, this will be a good introduction for you to get into the world. Fans of the show, this will be nothing more to you than a highlight reel.

Lenni Reviews: “On and Off: Work-Life Imbalance” Vol. 1, by Shinnosuke Kanazawa

(Image Source)

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Sotaro Amata is popular in the office where he works, but in his off hours, he dresses up in Lolita fashion in beautiful lace and ruffles. Akira Hanku is less popular in the office, but in her off hours, she’s a punk girl in leather and spikes. They may butt heads at work, but when they run into each other off hours without recognizing each other, their relationship is entirely different.

This first volume is just setting up the vast differences between our main leads and getting them to meet up. They seem like two people who have been lonely, keeping up this mask at work, but can enjoy each other’s company once those masks are gone. In fact, Akira outright dislikes Sotaro at work but is smitten with him when he’s in the Lolita clothes. I made it a point to link to what I mean here since Lolita has an entirely different context in this case. I do wonder if this will get super dramatic and angsty once Akira finds out who she’s hanging out with, but I really hope it stays light and fun. 4 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “My Name Is Shingo: The Perfect Edition” Vol. 1, by Kazuo Umezz

*This  book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Satoru’s father works at a factory and when he hears from his dad that there will be a new robot there, he can’t help but what to investigate, learning how to use it and even adding some instructions of his own.

Until Satoru gets into tinkering with Marilyn (the name of the robot) he’s absolutely insufferable. I was concerned I would have to deal with this brat the entire volume but once he’s into programming and has something to focus on, he’s so much better. It’s interesting and a bit foreboding that the story infers this is the machine reflecting on past events; which makes me wonder what will happen once it becomes known that Satoru is messing with the machine. 3 out of 5.
