comic con report 2008: costume report.

whew! i'm back from comic con, and i'm back with twice my weight in comics! more on that in my next post. First i talk about what is most important at comic con. geeks who for some reason see the need to spend time making (or money buying) costumes of their favorite things.
(this is by no means a comprehensive list of all that were in costume at the convention. if anything it is only one tenth of those who dressed up).
in no particular order of course.
