Now that Iron Man has crushed all comers in the summer movie department (sorry, Speed Racer), let us all revel in the great geekiness that was this year's NY Comic Con. Here are some photos; more to come tomorrow.
Me and Supes (he lets me call
him "Supes")

As my wife said, "Honey? You
know those statues aren't real, right?"
|

Hulk! I'm crushing your head!
I'M CRUSHING YOUR HEAD!

Ed Norton has nothing on me. Oh
wait, he's playing Bruce Banner, not Hulk. And he's an insanely
successful actor. Okay, maybe he's got a little something on me.

For some reason this bothered
me, I don't know why. Biggie's mom licenses these dolls, so at least
she gets money for them. There's something morbid about it, though. I
asked the guy at the booth about it and he said they had done lots of
rappers, but he admitted that this was the only dead rapper action
figure he knew about.

This is me being very confused
at the rules for Chaotic, a card/bead/role-playing game. I'll be
posting my experience with it soon.

Swear Bear has a filthy mouth
and is not for kids. He also has the power to make anyone standing next
to him supremely blurry!

Wrong convention, guys. The SCA
meeting is next week.

This is what it looked like when
they let the general public in (note that this means the earlier shots
here are the VIP's.) It was a stampede. If you could harness the energy
and excitement for something like the Presidential election, you could
make the world a better place. Clearly Obama needs to start campaigning
in a cape with a giant "O" on his shirt.

Anyone know what these folks are
dressed up as? I don't.
|
|
Again: no idea.

This one I know: Nightwing. For
the unitiated, Nightwing is who Robin grows up to become when he gets
tired of being Batman's sidekick. Then Batman gets a new Robin, who
gets himself killed, at which point he gets another new Robin.

Part 2, featuring four different versions of Princess Lea, me holding a lightsaber, and guys in stormtrooper costumes, coming tomorrow.
