Super Villain Leia Down Plots Takeover of New York Comic-Con

LAS VEGAS—New York Comic-Con is taking place this Thursday, October 10 through Saturday, October 13 at Javits Center. With all the superheroes in attendance, Super Villain Leia Down will have her work cut out for her. The cosplay model will spend all four days at the CosPlay Trading Card Company (CTCC) booth, signing her limited-edition cards. This card set is the first set of Character Cards to be rolled out by the company, which offers limited-edition cards for individuals and entities to purchase. Down will also have other merchandise on hand for sale, and will be ready for any photo opp that might come her way from the media or fans. For information on tickets and scheduled events, go to NewYorkComicCon.com. Find out more about CTCC at CosplayTradingCardCompany.com. “I’m excited to be in the Big Apple and be at one of the biggest Comic-Cons in the country,” Leia said. “My new CTCC cards are amazing, but once they’re gone, they’re gone, so make sure you stop by and get one.” Those who want to party with a Super Villain can head to SONICBOOMBOX’s NYCC Afterparty on Saturday at Slate NY, located at 54 W. 21st St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and have a cocktail or two with Leia Down. It’s hosted by Yaya Han and sponsored by Midtown Comics, and there will be prizes and cosplay contests. The fun starts at 8 p.m. and cosplay attire is encouraged. Guests must be 21 and over with ID; admission is $10 before 10 p.m. and $15 after. To set up an interview with Leia Down at New York Comic-Con, contact Erika Icon of The Rub PR aterika@therubpr.com.
