How did New York Comic Con go from a 12,000-person meet-up to a 200,000-person convention? ReedPop CEO Lance Fensterman talks about what's next for the comic convention company.

ReedPop has expanded the convention to a number of other locations near the Javits Center including Madison Square Garden and the Hammerstein Ballroom to host the convention's hundreds of panels.

Huddled under umbrellas and outstretched jackets, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Harley Quinn and several Pokemon trainers stood in line, waiting to be the first to buy collectibles, score autographs and get into another line for upcoming panels, some not until late in the day. At that time, attendees often swapped comic books for cash. Today, the event has many vendors. Artist Alley is a section of the Javits Center filled with 500 artists selling everything from hand-drawn portraits to enamel pins.
