Comic Con 2025 recap: New York City nerds out | amNewYork
"The sense of community that defines the comics and movies was clear at the meetup. Monti Wilkins, dressed as Spider Punk, shared how he met Perez a year ago and emphasized, It's really about the community and friendship. The spider mask comes with great power and responsibility, yet anyone can wear the mask whether that's a cowboy spiderman, a civic spiderman, or even a Dominican spiderman!"
"As China's top collectibles and trading card brand, KAYOU marked its stateside debut by hosting prominent voice actors at its booth. Flanagan, Naruto's voice for over twenty years, spoke to the franchise's unprecedented reach. I could never imagine this, she said. Naruto stands as one of anime's most successful series, selling 250 million manga copies and is valued at over $10 billion. The series also inspired Boruto, a sequel about Naruto's son. Just as in the show, Naruto's multigenerational impact continues."
New York Comic Con 2025 took place at the Javits Center in Manhattan from Oct. 9–12, drawing fans across the pop-culture spectrum for panels, exclusive trailers, reunions, and elaborate cosplay.

Monti Wilkins and Izabella Perez highlighted friendship and shared fandom roots while showcasing diverse Spider-Man identities. KAYOU debuted stateside and hosted voice actors, including Malie Flanagan on Naruto’s birthday. Flanagan underscored Naruto’s multigenerational reach as the franchise has sold 250 million manga copies, inspired Boruto, and achieved over $10 billion in value.
