With less than a month to go until the second annual Special Edition: NYC comic book festival, producer ReedPOP has provided ROBOT 6 with a first look at the event's badges, created by some of the industry's top artists.

Above and below you'll see the VIP badge by Aaron McConnell, Weekend by Karl Kesel, and Artist Alley by Ron Randall, all members of Portland, Oregon's Periscope Studio. According to ReedPOP, the illustrated badges help to underscore the show's primary mission, "connecting fans with artists in a more personal and unique way."

Set for June 6-7 at Pier 94 in New York City, Special Edition: NYC features a guest lineup that includes Brian Michael Bendis, Chris Claremont, Becky Cloonan, Colleen Coover, J.G. Jones, Jason Latour, Kevin Maguire, Amy Reeder, Robbi Rodriguez, Scott Snyder, Fred Van Lente and Annie Wu.
