NYCC is filled with great original comic books, like the world premiere of Ryan Dunlavey's Bad Guy, about a guy who finds himself spiraling into the world of supervillainy. Told in broad, bombastic strokes by Dunlavey, this is just one example of the cool new stuff that creators are up to at NYCC.

Remember when Coke decided to emulate its "hipper" counterpart, Pespi, with New Coke? And it was kind of cringy? And sort of, like, "Uh, why are you doing this?"
