I can’t believe how many Leias were at Comic Con this year. Seriously ladies, be original.
Category: Comic-Con
Yay, it’s Comic Con time again, which means tons of costume photos, a photo gallery of hot girls and, for the first time ever, I’ve even collected a round up of sexy Comic Con dudes. So sit back, relax and let the geeks be with you.
Comics:
It’s not every day you see a sexy black woman dressed up as Hell Boy, but when you do, you sure as hell start off your article with her.
And here are her friend and foe from from Hell Boy II: The Golden Age, Princess Nuala & Prince Nuada.
It’s not a true Comic Con without Batman & Robin.
But this year, the convention was overran by Jokers & Harley Quinns, so I guess the Dark Knight has been slacking off on his duties.
Here’s Miss Quinn in her old-school costume.
And here are her re-vamped Arkham City duds.
What an adorable couple.
Uh oh, looks like the Joker has a little something going on the side with the always sexy Silk Spectre.
Here’s an adorable shot of Iron Man with his cute little son.
On a less adorable note, here’s War Machine from Iron Man.
And here’s Tony Stark all dressed down.
I was surprised to see The Punisher was so short in person. Of course, he still looked bad ass.
Here’s Dr. Strange with Supergirl.
It looks like he managed to clone here because here’s two more Supergirls.
It’s a scary world when there’s more than one Judge Dredd wandering the streets.
In fact, there must be at least three these days.
There were tons Captain Americas at the convention this year, being as how his movie was just released and all.
Here’s another Captain America with the always babetastic Wonder Woman.
And here’s a Wonder Woman seeking her own Captain America.
Here’s Loki from Thor in both his male & female form.
And here’s Loki’s rivals, Sif & Thor
This Hulk costume was hilarious in the half-assedness.
Wolverine looked great, but my camera over exposed his face…sorry ladies.
Moon Knight was there hiding in plain sight.
As were The Blue Beetle & Dark Seid.
Dear Silver Surfer, I think you might want to head to a dermatologist. That stretching looks unhealthy.
These two were promoting their own characters, Pink Girl and The Scone.
Sci Fi:
Have you ever seen a more adorable Doctor?
This Doctor & TARDIS costume set might be the best couples costume of the year.
Of course, I’m always partial to Dalek costumes.
And while it may not technically be a costume, I’m in love with this Dalek dress.
This Doctor was showing his inter-sci-fi mythology love by cuddling up with this cute Trekkie.
Of course, if you go as a red shirt, you’re bound to end up the victim of Face Sucker eventually.
But Borgs are pretty much always safe, although seriously intimidating.
If you prefer classic Star Trek getups, here’s a Klingon.
And here’s his friend.
Leia & Han Solo were quite sexy together.
But sometimes they let things cool down for a photo opp.
Boba Fett is always dashing, whether at the convention…
or out on the streets.
But I must admit that I find him most attractive when he looks like he fell in with the Reservoir Dogs.
These two Jedis made a good team.
As did these Rebel fighters.
But everyone better watch out when the Zombie Stormtrooper heads their way.
Here’s a nicely obscure character -the Death Star Weapons Officer.
And this Padawan Ahsoka Tano costume from Clone Wars might have been the best cartoon costume brought to life.
Like the Dalek dress, this Star Wars dress isn’t really a costume, but it’s bad ass and I want one nonetheless.
Of course, if you prefer a touch of the Western genre mixed in with your sci fi, you’d be happy to see Mal.
Personally, I think the look needs the duster. What do you think?
Here is Savage Opress from Star Wars: The Clone Wars -thanks Derek!
Movies/TV:
These Sucker Punch babes found the perfect place to pose.
This couple made a great Jack Sparrow & Angelica Malon from Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Stranger Tides.
I loved this Captain Eo costume complete with the cute little flying guy.
Shawn of the Dead apparently lost the battle and was munched on by zombies.
This Ring Wraith was utterly terrifying.
Kick Ass looking hilarious as ever.
Here’s one of the Ghostbusters with arch-rival, the Stay Puft marshmallow girl.
And I can’t say how refreshing it was to see that the Ghostbusters finally hired a woman.
There’s something different about this Green Hornet, but Kato still looks great.
I hope this Dharma Initiative employee made the sub on time.
This might just be the sexiest Oompa Loompa I’ve ever seen.
Here’s a Gryffindor student. With all that red hair, he must be a Weasley.
This guy was working to promote his live-action musical version of the Re-Animator playing in LA.
Doctor Horrible’s newest invention looks rather unintimidating.
Glinda The Good Witch was looking rather fresh and frilly.
Silent Bob had nothing to say as usual.
There were a bunch of Tron costumes, but none of them looked right when I took pictures.
Here was Nina Sayers from Black Swan.
What’s this, here she is again.
And here’s the deadly Black Mamba from Kill Bill.
MBrown, thanks for pointing out that these two are Sebastian and Pluto from Black Butler.
I recognized Michael Myers and thanks matt and choggie for pointing out that this is the clown from Killer Clowns from Outer Space.
Thanks to Monotone for pointing out that this is Fyarl from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Cartoons:
I loved Cartoon Network’s Lady Rainicorn parade piece.
Here were some other people that took part in the Adventure Time parade.
And here’s Flinn, unfortunately sans Jake.
These three Adventure Time fans made their own dresses each featuring a princess from the show. I loved them!
Remember Darkwing Duck and his nemesis Megavolt? Those were the good ol’ days.
This Mad Hatter was simply adorable.
While this Mad Hatter looked utterly insane.
Princess Jasmine was ready to rug it out of there.
Belle & Jasmine looked as beautiful as ever.
And Rapunzel & Flynn Rider from Tangled were ready to fight their way out of the crowd.
I think my favorite Disney costume was Russell from Up! though. Look how cute he is.
Quail Man is ready for the return of 90’s kid show on Nick.
Homer Samurai had his donut ready for fighting. Actually, thank you Shugs for pointing out that this is actually Homer mixed with Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z.
Duffman just wanted a beer though.
Nathan Explosion needed some touch ups on his makeup.
Sergeant Hatred, Dr. Henry Killinger & Girl Hitler were happily avoiding the Venture Bros.
Cobra Commander & Snake Eyes were ready to start some trouble, but there were soldiers everywhere.
Gumby was looking for Pookey the whole time.
From left to right, Strawberry Shortcake, Princess Lana from Captain N: The Game Master (thanks shortmikeshort), then Rainbow Bright, then Orco, then Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, and Tee-La (thanks Lisa H for the correction).
Video Games:
Thanks Jimmy & Seth for pointing out that she is Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat 3.
Raiden from Mortal Kombat was ready to fight.
But so was Scorpion.
Chung Li was too busy looking cute though.
Ken from Street Fighter is on the left, and thanks Jimmy for pointing out that the girls is Mei Ling.
Sora from Kingdom of Hearts was busy looking for his friends.
Thanks Buck Claborn for explaining that this is an inquisitional warrior from Warhammer 40K.
Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad from Assassin’s Creed is always so sneaky.
But the Silent Hill Nurse is always far more intimidating.
It’s a Laura Croft sandwich, but who’s making up the bread? Thank you Malice for pointing out that they are Chris, Jill Valentine and a minor character all from Resident Evil.
Master Chief from Halo is always in attendance at the con. Thanks Hi for pointing out that this is actually just a random teal Spartan with Noble Six.
And this poor Little Sister couldn’t find her Big Daddy anywhere.
These Castle Crashers were ready to smash some shit up though.
Mario & Luigi have become so corporate these days.
Princess Daisy still keeps it real though.
This is the sexiest unknown character I have ever seen. Thanks Twitt for pointing out that this is the sexiest Toadette ever.
Thanks Malis Vitterfolk for pointing out that this is Amirynth Delnaria, a blood elf mage from World of Warcraft.
Other:
I think these guys are just Zombie military characters, but if they’re from anything specific, let me know.
Fellow Neatorama writer Nan Koenig recognized these guys from the XtraNormal Movie Maker program.
These guys were their own from characters from their magazine, Bizarro Au Go-Go.
Steampunk was less popular this year than last, but there were still plenty of costumes.
Personally, I still like the style.
The Lion, The Witch & The Werewolf? Actually, this is Penny Dreadful and Garou, stars of Penny Dreadful’s Shilling Shockers. Thanks Dave H.
Lego Transformers are always a fun combo.
Red Riding Hood is just so cute.
Strange Pairings:
Since the rest of this article is a bit organized, here some combos that simply don’t belong anywhere. Take, for example, Hit Girl & Peter Pan.
Why is Wonder Woman hanging with a Cenobite?
And since when do Jedis get along with Morgana from Dragon Age?
At least this Trekkie & Mystique looked appropriately geeky for one another.
But this Little Mermaid was way too hot for Vash The Stampede from TriGun Doctor Horrible, even in his finest Evil League of Evil duds. Thanks Parkingtigers.
Xena again, but who is on the right this time? and thanks redravin and Moosebyte for pointing out that this is Karl Ruprecht Kroenen from Hellboy.
Yoko from Gurren Lagann, Xena and Link. Thanks Shugs for identifying Yoko.
Green Lantern, Rapunzel and Giselle from Enchanted, thanks Allanna.
Help Me Name These Guys:
While there are a lot of video games, comics and other geeky mediums I’m familiar with, I simply can’t keep track of them all. This last section requires your help readers. Help me identify some of these characters.
I have no idea who this is.
So Steve B. and Alex have convinced me the gent here is a space marine from Alien 2, in fact, I think mik may be right when he suggests it is Corporal Hicks. But I’m still not sure about the girl.
Free hugs girls are on the left, but who are the armored men on the right? Update: Thanks Shauni for pointing out that they are from the Kingdom of Caid reenactment group.
I think this guy was just dressed as an adorable kangaroo, but if I’m wrong and he’s actually a character, let me know.
Is he Van Helsing? No. Ellie points out that he is actually Sir Conrad Wright III, Vampire Elimination Specialist, an original character from the League of S.T.E.A.M. Although I still don’t know what the heck is she supposed to be?
This looks like a pride superhero, but I don’t know.
If I just saw the one on the right, I’d think she was steampunk, but with all three of them together, I’m at a loss.
Any comments helping to identify the unknown characters are appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If you prefer to live out Comic Con through adorable corgis rather than kitties, then I Has A Hot Dog has you covered.
Whether you missed the convention all together or you already miss all the geeky action, I Can Has Cheezburger’s Comic Cat is a great way to get back in the spirit.
Comic Con starts on Wednesday night and while I’ll have plenty of great pictures after the fact, here are some of the cool exclusives that will be on sale at the event. If you’re going to be there, you can go ahead and buy any of this awesome stuff and if you see me with my Neatorama Press Badge on, feel free to say hi.
This cool limited edition poster by Dave Perillo is available from Acme Archieves Ltd. at booth #5629. The run was limited to 100 prints and each one will cost $50.
These Thor Marvel Minimates are limited to a run of 3,000 and the 4 pack is only $20 from the Action Figure Xpress booth #3345.
If you’re a fan of Bill Plympton, be sure to stop by his booth #1537 and consider grabbing one of his autographed “mallow” figurines for $25.
This Friends With You Stinky Poo & T.P. Plush Set is one of the exclusives that I’m most excited about. If you want to grab your own, stop by the Bored Inc. booth #609.
The crayon tee is by Greg “Crayola” Simkins and the plush was designed by Travis Lampe. Both are available over at the Color Ink Book booth #5569.
This cute nerd Domo statue is another purchase I might be making at the upcoming convention. He’s only $9 and there are only 1200 being released. You can find him at the Dark Horse Comics booth #2615.
If you ever wanted your own Rusty & Jonas or Dexter action figure, then be sure to head by the Entertainment Earth booth #2343.

Gentle Giant Studios booth #3513 will be selling this hilarious Squirrelpool bust for $30. If you aren’t familiar with Squirrelpool, here’s his back story from the page:
Originally created an April Fool’s Joke from the Marvel Comics website, Gentle Giant is proud to bring you an original character – Squirrelpool! Based on everyone’s favorite Merc With a Mouth, Squirrelpool is undoubtedly just as skilled a fighter and vicious a killer as his human counterpart. If he could speak English, this ravaging rodent would undoubtedly be just as foul as well.
How could you not want one now? The booth will also be selling 900 $45 special edition Sucker Punch blue rays that come with 4 discs and the soundtrack.
Fans of Battlestar Galactica remember that the colonials call the Cylons “Toasters.” Now you can get your own Cylon toaster necklace from the Her Universe booth #2913-F.
The Comic Con exclusive Sackboy is absolutely adorable, as is the cute Scott Pilgrim action figures. You can find them both at the Mezco Toyz booth #3445.
For $50 you can take home a set of Nightmare Before Christmas paperweights at the Monogram International, Inc. booth #3744.
I’m a big fan of Mr. Toast, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be walking home with one of the 100 $10 Frankentoast plushies available at booth #4831.
The production run of these awesome Tick action figures is limited to only 250 and each one is only $20. Now that’s an affordable collectable. Get your own at Shocker Toys booth #3351.
If you like the Ugly Dolls, be sure to stop by their booth #3245 and check out the limited edition Cookie Dream Babo.
I’ve been a big fan of Alex Pardee’s artwork for a long time, which is why I am so excited to check out his limited edition SDCC exclusive prints and shirts. If you’re interested, be sure to stop by the Zero Friends booth #5502.
Of course, if you aren’t going to make it, just enjoying these pics of cool merch available is a fun way to immerse yourself in the experience without heading out to San Diego. If you really want to get some geek purchases going on and can’t make it though, remember, there are always tons of fun products over at the Neatoshop.
While I love Comic Con, there are certainly some geek conventions that seriously just shouldn’t exist -like the Gargoyles Convention based on the mid-nineties Disney cartoon. Yeah, at that point it’s just sad.
If you’re looking for a good way to adorn yourself for your next cosplay session, these great eyeshadow anime eyes are a great way to fix yourself up. See more unique eyeshadow styles over at Oddee.
If you’ve ever read a manga or watched an anime and thought about how much you’d like to hump one of the characters, then you’ll totally relate with this article I wrote on Oddee about weird ways to bring anime into your real life.
The scariest thing about pedophiles is that, unless they are card-carrying members of NAMBLA, they’re pretty difficult to distinguish from the rest of the creepy-looking populace. But don’t tell that to the San Louis Obisbo Sheriff’s Department who thinks that popular internet meme Pedobear is actually a way for sex offenders to communicate their lust for children to one another. Apparently, they even kicked someone out of Comic Con for dressing as Pedobear and handing out candy, not understanding that the last person who would molest kids would be a teenager wearing a costume mocking the icon used to shame creepy child molesters.
Comic Con Costumes From 2010
Comic Con isn’t just about sexy girls.That’s why I’m happy to bring you this second photo gallery filled with over 100 costumes from the convention…of course, plenty of them still include hotties, but who’s complaining, really.
Movies:
Let’s start off with everyone’s favorite sexy costume, the slave girl Leia. There’s always tons of stormtroopers, but the sand people costume is pretty rare.
