For this weekend’s New York Comic Con, My Latest Distraction experimented with covering the entire event in as close to real time as possible utilizing Instagram and the hashtag #mylatestdistractiondotcom. Below you’ll find a collection of the dozens of photos from the event that we thought were cool enough to share with the world. Overall, I think it was a fun experiment that exposed many new people to the MLD team. If you were following us, I hope it was fun for you as well. Expect to see us use #mylatestdistractiondotcom again in the future.

The X-Men are very important to me and after months of anticipation the latest landmark moment for Marvel’s mutants is finally here in the form of  X-Men: Regenesis. All week we’ve had a lot to say about what’s seen print so far and as the rebranding rolls out through November there’s bound to be a lot more.

In order to keep track of all of our coverage, we’ve put together a portal to all things Regenesis here on MLD in our “Featured Posts” section. The page will serve as an ongoing collection of reviews and reactions to what’s happening within the X-Men line. Two new series, Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo’s Wolverine and the X-Men and a new volume of the long running Uncanny X-Men by Kieron Gillen and Carlos Pacheco are already underway and all of the existing X-titles are seeing changes.

Check out everything that’s there now and be sure to come back for more X-Men: Regenesis on MyLatestDistraction!

As promised, here is the complete set of images MLD captured at this year’s New York Comic Con. You’ll find everything from action figures and toys to creators along with whatever else caught our eye on the floor.
