Another year, another extraordinarily successful party! This year, we raised over $5,000 for the Hero Initiative, had a great time with friends new and old, and generally was the place to be Friday night. Here are a select few of the photos taken by our new friend John Painz, whose work can be found here. A huge thank you goes out to Stitch NYC, our venue this year, as well as Image Comics for helping us put all this together. See you next year at NYCC and at the Big Party!
