Today, I can finally say I've crossed something important off my bucket list. Among the highest items on my list (right up there with getting a date from Jennifer Lawrence) was to attend the New York Comic Con. For the past few years, a lot of things kept me from doing so and not all of them have to do with being too hung over. This year, I didn't let anything get in my way. No hangovers. No ex-girlfriends. No parking tickets. Nothing. This year, I went to New York and attended the comic con. And it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I had so much fun. I met so many people. It was truly an amazing experience
Below, are just a few of the pictures I took to savor the experience. It's only a fraction of the awesome shit I saw at this place. I hope to see much more next year!
|
It was a long walk to the Javitz Center. Felt like entering the opposite of Mount Mordor. |
|
Waiting outside. Actually much more crowded than it looks. |
|
Batfleck's armor. Couldn't protect him from divorce though. |
|
The first pic I took when I entered. I had SUCH an erection! |
|
Naturally, Star Wars was a big deal. And this got everyone's attention. |
|
Is the Hulkbuster supposed to look that cute? |
|
Iron Man was on display at Marvel's booth. Thank you Robert Downy Jr.! |
|
Silk is adapting to life outside the bunker very well. |
|
Wonder Woman's movie costume. Can't imagine how awesome it looked on Gal. |
|
I bet I could fit into that costume. It would look goofy. I wouldn't care. |
|
Love seeing Batgirl represented. Can't have too many awesome redheads! |
|
Me at the Star Wars fandom panel. Lots of Stormtroopers. Not enough Slave Leias. |
|
Stan Lee dropped by. How nice of him! |
|
Some things are untouchable, no matter what Marvel does to fuck them up. |
|
X-23 is a popular costume. Can't wait to see her in Wolverine's classic duds. |
|
The Mario Brothers must have found a warp tube. |
|
One of MANY Spider-Gwens. |
|
Slave Leias. The only thing that makes me wish I were a fat slug. |
|
Marvel might not like them, but some couples endure like the Phoenix. |
|
So many Wonder Women. So many wonders to explore. |
|
How the fuck does he see where he's going? |
|
That's Yoda made out of jelly beans. Nuff said! |
|
Proof binge-watching can foster creativity! |
|
Anyone up for some Blitzball? |
|
Lots of art. Not all of it NSFW. Much of it still awesome. |
|
Jubilee was well-represented, as she should with a movie coming out. |
|
Jim Shooter holding up my copy of Uncanny X-men #137. I almost fainted. |
|
Chris Claremont holding up my copy of Uncanny X-men #137. I did faint. |
|
Perfect Kingpin cos-player. Almost gave him my wallet out of intimidation. |
|
She-Devil with a sword and sexy costume. |
|
One of a few Jedi. Were many more Sith. |
|
Movie magic in action, minus the bullshit CGI. |
|
Darth Vader made of jelly beans. Nuff said! |
|
The crowded line into artist ally. |
|
A true example of BFFs. |
|
Black Widow may not have a movie, but she has awesome cos-players. |
|
Squirrel Girl adding some cuddly ambiance to Comic Con. |
|
Don't know what the teddy bear was for. Was too in awe to ask. |
|
Boba Fett always attracts a crowd. |
|
Unless you saw cartoons in the 90s, this was creepy as fuck. |
|
I salute you ladies! |
|
Wonder Woman epic win. |
|
Anyone else feel like listening to Huey Lewis? |
|
The Captain Kirk in me was very aroused. |
|
Archer fans will know why this is awesome. |
|
Wonder Women fill me with wonder (among other things). |
|
Ultimate is fucked, but the awesome of the costumes endure. |
|
Captain Marvel has a very loyal following. |
|
Marty McFly looks at me like I banged his mom. |
|
More Storm. Less Inhumans. I like it! |
|
Not many Hawkgirls. Was too afraid to tell her. |
|
Classic Ms. Marvel still awesome as hell. |
|
Artist Alley was the epicenter of geeking out. |
|
Yes. BoJack Horsemen has fans like this. Seriously. |
|
Video games inspire more than shitty hashtags. |
|
That's actually a manikin and not a cos-player. It was hard to tell the difference. |
|
Anybody else remember the 90s? |
|
I smell a team-up! |
|
The only time I wish I were an Italian plumber. |
