Sunday at Comic Con


Fantastic Four, originally uploaded by shindohd.

They’re young and good looking, so I wanted to begin this entry with this version of the Fantastic Four. While they’re not purely in costume, they have definitely have a theme, and these shirts are wearable conversation pieces outside of Comic-Con. I should have asked them for the ordering information because seeing them in these tees makes me want to get one myself.

I took many pictures of people in costume, but here are some of my favorites:

Pris and Roy Annie Lennox meets Vulcan Superman and Trinity X-wing Pilot

Pris and Roy from Bladerunner, Annie Lennox meets Vulcan, Superman and Trinity, and X-Wing Pilot.

The Blade Runner couple was so in character in their costumes. The Annie Lennox effect on this woman’s Vulcan look was very striking. The Superman model was absolutely hot and Trinity looked like she could kick ass! The X-Wing fighter pilot looked very good in his uniform.

The blond Vulcan is in the cast of the upcoming Star Trek fan film World Enough and Time, which also features George Takei.

Man Bat

This handsome guy worked for the Mattel exhibit. I liked his t-shirt.

Donkey Kong Player

If you wanted to relive the good old days of 1980′s video games, you could play Donkey Kong like this guy was. I remember Nintendo made a hand held version of the game (but this may have been limited to Japan). Does anyone remember the pocket version with LCD in the US market?

Greg Evans

Here is local cartoonist Greg Evans (not related) who does the nationally syndicated comic Luann.

Some quirky moments at Comic-Con on Sunday afternoon: a guy was giving free high-fives (and counting them), while two young women gave free hugs more altruistically.

Free High Fives Free Hugs

Every day at Comic Con was extremely crowded. Essentially, attendance was sold out. Here is a crowd picture to give an idea of how many people were at the Convention Center on Sunday afternoon.

    I don’t know what Mattel had in mind with “Man Bat,” but I was thinking of his. ;)
