I'd really like to have a nice stack shot like Toast posted earlier, but my camera's shit & it's too much of a hassle for me to upload. But I spent way, way, WAY too much money at NYCC (& the greater NY area after)...
First off, finally got my copy of Rice Boy from Evan! FUCK YES!! Was going to hang with him in the city yesterday, but things worked out all right & wrong. But I got the collection & the making of. I read through the story before, but did it again in one huge chunk instead of sleeping one night. So awesome...
Most of the money went to the table selling BDs (very inconveniently down the same aisle with all the cosplay materials & love pillows... which was unsettlingly the busiest corner of the con it seemed).
All very much worth it... though really fucking heavy to lug around the city all day. They'll totally lighten the load now though because otherwise, I would've been lugging them back from France.
I'm waiting to read this. I know the art's going to be amazing because Nathan Fox hit some sort of crazy stride & is amazing now. I also got Unauthorized Comics, edited by Ulises Farinas, it's a take on DC characters which I typically wouldn't care about, but get a load of his Batman page:

And
And outside the con, because apparently I can't go to NY without dropping money at the Japanese bookstore there, I got:
Which is all of the storyboards for FLCL. Sure it's not a comic, but I like it a lot. Don't know if I'd recommend it to others though because it was kinda pricey for what it was. Which is a lot of loose sketches. Oh & from Bergen Street, greatest comic shop in the world, I got PRISON PIT vol 2!!
and Orc Stain 5, which I haven't gotten too yet.
