Westworld is Coming to New York Comic Con
New York Comic Con Scoops up Westworld
New York Comic Con is a major event that happens every fall, usually in October. It is arguably the second largest Comic Con after San Diego, but it rarely gets the same amount of attention. Everyone knows that the Game of Thrones panel to watch is at SDCC, which is a fair assessment. This time, however, New York has gotten something that SDCC hasn’t been able to. Yet.

According to Deadline, Westworld will make its debut at New York Comic Con. Its convention debut, that is. There will be a screening of the second episode on Sunday, October 9th, the final day of the convention. It will also be in the middle of afternoon, several hours before the episode airs on television for the suckers at home. Both Jonathon Nolan and Lisa Joy will be in attendance, as will Thandie Newton, Jeffery Wright, and Jimmi Simpson. Not too shabby, and apparently more actors will be announced later.
The screening will not take place at the Jacob Javits Center, where the main action is. It will instead be at the Hammerstein Ballroom, a venue that New York Comic Con started using in recent years to show more high-profile panels. Suffice it to say, this is a particularly high-profile panel. It does, of course, make sense for Westworld to be at New York Comic Con first since it will be so close to the premiere.

While this is a nice scoop for New Yorkers, it should still be said that when Westworld does make its way to SDCC, it will likely be a show-stopping panel featuring more actors and teases. That’s just the way it is. For now, however, New York has something that San Diego doesn’t, and that’s good enough.
