MANILA, Philippines – The Netflix booth has become a must-see attraction at the AsiaPOP Comicon Manila, and they continued to come through for fans this year with an interactive booth that highlighted its most popular shows.
The entrance of the booth is Iron Fist territory, decked out to look like a Chinatown alley. On one side, participants can channel their inner Danny Rand on a punching wall or a car as the Hatchet Gang performs a back-alley thrashing.

Further in, there is Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe from Riverdale, where Josie and the Pussycats perform every hour. There is also a photo booth where fans can take their yearbook photos wearing either a Riverdale High or Southside Serpents jacket.
The Black Hood also makes an appearance every now and then, but thankfully does not murder anyone.

Joyce Byer’s walls make it to the Netflix booth once again (last year’s alphabet wall was a particularly popular attraction) – this time, with fans helping recreate Will’s tunnel maps from season 2 by adding in their own sketches.
