Adult Swim at New York Comic-Con 2024
The summer is pretty much at an end, with not too much going on. Rick and Morty: The Anime is chugging along right now, and the Fall+ Lineup is forthcoming. With that being said, AS has announced plans for this year’s NYCC, and they seem to be pretty big. With last year’s event suffering from the SAG and WGA strikes, and not much to say outside of programming previews, this year’s seems to be jam-packed with content from Rick and Morty Season Eight to Yolo: Rainbow Trinity, Women Wearing Shoulder Pads, and much more.
Hopefully, we’ll be able to be there live in October, to cover most (if not all) the goings on at the con. In the meantime, here’s some info straight from Adult Swim:
