San Diego Comic Con 09 has came and went. With it, thousands upon thousands of nerds have left their impression upon the world. Whether it’s comics, movies, or video games, Comic Con brings out some of the most colorful people you’re ever bound to meet. They’re not too hard to spot either, because more than likely they’re wearing a mask, spandex, or both. I’m of course alluding to the cosplayers.
We’ve discussed cosplaying before, and how the art form can take some very interesting turns when coming to life. There’s the professionals who take their trade seriously, then there are those who should never….ever don a costume. Instead of posting both, I’m going to provide some awards to some of the better cosplays.
So, are you ready? Well too bad because here we go.
—————————————————
Why Couldn’t George Lucas Have Seen This Before Phantom Menace Award
Ok, so this cosplayer hasn’t stayed true to the character but it really doesn’t matter. He took a concept we can all get behind (hatred of Jar Jar Binks), and turned it into a creative idea that I’m sure garnered a lot of laughs at SDCC. Then of course he now has a bad ass Star Wars spatula to use when does some grillin’ back home.
Too Nice Looking To Be Quinn, But Some Awesome Dedication To The Costume Award
There’s some people you can tell wouldn’t make a good Harley Quinn. Not because of their costume but because they’re too nice looking. The girl playing Harley Quinn here looks so nice, there’s no way she could take a knife to my neck. Or lead me to my fate by the hands of The Joker. That doesn’t mean she didn’t take some time to make an awesome costume, and some solid makeup work as well. Now, the guy who seems to be weirdly watching her from behind looks like he could be up to no good.
Hot Pikachus — The Creepiest/Sexiest Trend At Comic Con Award
I’m not sure which is more wrong — hot girls who dress up like Pikachu, or the guys who find it attractive. An even more important question to ask is — What leads these attractive women to dress up like a character based on a property that for all intents and purposes is crack for kids? Whatever the reason, I know all you’re really thinking about is how the girl’s skirt on the right is half an inch from showing Pikachu’s no-no place.
We Apologize For Interrupting Your Regularly Scheduled Program, But President Obama Has A Few Words To Say
My fellow Americans, it’s time change be brought to San Diego Comic Con 09. No longer should we be complacent in our goals for nerd-dom, dedication to source material, and free Wonder Woman tiara schwag. I tell you this my friends, a vote for me is a vote for bringing true change to Comic Con and more statues depicting myself.
If There’s Something Strange In Your Comic Con — Call These Guys Award
Ok, this is a complete fanboy award. I’m a huge Ghostbusters nerd, so sue me. While these guys look like they belong more in a Halfbaked sequel, they still were dedicated to making some amazing Ghostbusters uniforms. PKE meter…check, Proton Packs…check, United Kingdom flag…check. Wait, what?
This Man Chose Wisely Award
Almost every Comic Con you go to, you’ll see the same things — Darth Vader, Superman, and random anime characters you have no idea about. Then there are the people who think outside the box. Sure there might be some who don’t recognize the Crusader from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. But I say it’s their loss. Just be sure not to take the $1,000 bust of Supergirl beyond the sacred seal. Everyone knows that’ll bring the roof down.
Even Kids Get Into Comic Con — Especially If They Get To Play Ruthless Galactic Bounty Hunters Award
While Comic Con is generally filled with people who never grew up, there are those who still have some actual growing up to do. And when they do, they’ll learn how to properly use that blaster and knife. Then hunt you down and freeze you in carbonite.
Run Lady!! Do You Not Realize What Happened In Those Outfits!? Award
I’m sure this tag team received some odd looks while traversing the hall of Comic Con. I know if I saw them I’d think “Maybe they’re just into that kind of thing”. *Watchmen fan giggles ensue*

You have to get a job at Marvel or Marvel’s permission. You can’t publish the comic by yourself using copyrighted characters unless you want a lawsuit up your butt.
You probably want an Englsh degee so that you can be a writer and try to get Marvel to hire you. If Marvel hires you, you have to pitch the idea and have to get Marvel’s support. If you get marvel’s support, your character has to have an interesting story so people will buy the comic. Otherwise, you might lose your job.
