*****NOTE: There are also quite a few New York Super Week events running this week, starting Friday, October 3rd, but frankly, they aren't very comics related. You can find those listings here.
If you like H.P. Lovecraft and Doctor Horrible's Sing Along, though, have a look. Coming up Next Week, however, there are a few more comics-relevant events related to Super Week, and we'll be sure to let you know about them. There is also significant crossover, though, with our Parties Listing relating to New York Comic Con and you can find that listing separately on Bleeding Cool also.
