This was my first year out to this particular convention and let me tell you, I did not expect the amount of people I saw there to actually be there. Between the overall small size of the show floor itself and the amount of attendees, it felt like San Diego Lite. There was a lot of cramming and my friends and I lost each other constantly. That said though, the costumes were AMAZING. Besides meeting up with my comic buddies--shout out to the always awesome Jim McCann, Fred Van Lente and Filip Sablik who attended this year's con--checking out all the rad costumes is easily my favorite part of going to conventions. At lot of these people put in some serious time and effort and their costumes come out looking really great. What really sucks though is that with so many costumes and so many people I missed a lot of opportunities to nab some pictures, including one of a really awesome Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers. Anyway, check out the pics I did manage to capture below!
Above, my friend Amanda who made her very own Hawkgirl costume, which not only looks amazing, but she also looks amazing in
Here are my friends Bridget and Jose as one of comics' greatest couple, the Joker and Harley Quinn

Save the mask, this guy made the entire costume by himself--including that Gatling Gun, which is ridiculously awesome and in fact spins
That Nemesis guy also hand made this Flash helmet. And the picture really does no justice on how spot on the helmet turned out. Seriously, Jay Garrick himself wouldn't be able to tell the difference

Your friend's costume is pretty rad.
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you using this blog to hit on cosplayers?
Well, I mean, every member of this blog except me is already in a meaningful, long-term relationship with great people. So.... yes. I am. But for unity on the blog. I'm doing it for the benefit of everyone.
