Piercing Ken Thoughts: This is very, very cool and as you all probably know I cover a LOT of comic book related stuff over on PiercingMetal and if this is news to you I’ll ask you to click HERE to open up a new tab on your Browser that will lead you to some awesome posts from a variety of publishers. Now truth be told I will likely only be able to see this poster in the form that it was sent to me in this announcement because while I submitted my interest in credentials to cover some parts of the Tribeca Festival, I was given virtual only access and that is without question less than useless for me. I didn’t participate in any virtual only conventions or concerts during the pandemic because they were too difficult to speak to and having that same kind of access for this kind of event makes no sense to me but I digress. What do you readers think about this awesome poster and are you planning on hitting any parts of the Tribeca Festival? Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you next time. Please stay safe out there.
