Nickelodeon's presence at major comic conventions seems to grow with each passing year, and this month's New York Comic Con is no exception. Following the launch of the latest season of the network's eminently popular The Legend Of Korra series, as well as the news that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return for its second season on October 12, Nickelodeon plans to celebrate both shows at the upcoming convention in New York. In addition to revealing panel times for each program, Nickelodeon has announced it will be screening a brand new episode of The Legend Of Korra at the show's panel, where cast members and executive producers will be on hand to answer fan's questions. Further, the network will have an exclusive poster -- featuring Korra and Wan, the first Avatar -- to be used for signings. As for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the entrance to the convention floor will feature a display of TMNT action figures, from the '80s to present day, with fans having an opportunity to participate in social media sweepstakes to win the toys.
