As cool as the movie was, there weren't a whole lot of new bells 'n whistles to the Dark Knight pinball machine.
I like to imagine it having Gastroesophageal reflux disease and puking all over everybody in the crowd.
A large version of Snake Eyes. He may be bigger, but he still doesn't have much to say.
One of the exclusives of the Comic-Con - yellow Domo-Kun figures!
The Darth Vader concept helmet looked cool 'n all, but I'm glad they went with the design we all came to love.
Perhaps this is a preview of things to come from the next Halo game?
The Tofu Zombie!
This guy was just standing with these giant bags draped over himself as he waited for his kid to finish looking around.
Oh the things some parents do to make their kids happy.
EATING THE OVERPRICED FOOD AT THE CONCESSION STAND MADE ME THE MAN I AM TODAY!
Tick fans, represent!
Don't let his face fool ya... he's actually quite happy to see you.
As we left our hotel (which we had to get at the last minute since our original plans fell through)
I noticed this Kraft Carry-Out Cafe snack machine that made various hot foods.
Nothing says "ghetto hotel" like a snack machine featuring Chicken Wyngz.
Señor Donut!
The media was at the Comic-Con bright and early for the first official day (Thursday) of the convention.
Practically perfect costumes of Cobra Commander and the Baroness. Cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Trust me, you never know when you'll need an extra set of goggles.
Every year we capture a variety of Comic-Con ass cheek shots for your viewing (dis)pleasure... here's the first.
CRUSH ALL THE HU-MANS!
I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait for Dexter season 3.
Dexter's on-screen girlfriend, Julie Benz braved the hordes of sweaty, adoring fans.
As always, we ran into our pal Rob from Coin-Op.TV and he was quick to get some killer footage.
There are still many more

Awesome pics RoG, really nice work. Glad to see some of the costumes I missed (though I could've done without that one Wonder Woman's ass. She was hovering by the Slave Labor Graphics booth when I was stuck in line, and it wasn't pretty to look). And massive kudos for finding the two really awesome Jokers amidst a sea of them (I think that Nurse one was also the one carrying the pencil around, extra points there). But where's the shot of the giant GIR costume?
compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DrMrsTheMonarch.jpg
too much manboob and too many oddly unnattractive freaks though.
Not like they are ugly people,because I'm sure they'd look fine in their regular clothing,
but the sort of people who shouldnt dress up as something they cant pull off.
and a few of those pictures might earn you a spot on a predator list. =P
SO yeah, agenda is currently: Get a dog, buy a pump, go to Comic-Con '09.
Hey, I think Nick has a nifty idea for you. Ever thought about creating a Pickleman costume for yourself and maul people with a giant pickle at the con?
You have a very difficult life going to these things as a business expense don't you.
I wish I could've gone. Alas, it's a pipe dream.
Look interesting though. Just a little too crowded for my taste.
And as for the other mystery, (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/comic-con08/276.jpg) The one with horns looks like a Yuna Berserker from Final Fantasy X-2, but I've got no idea on the maid.
PS - Rog, you still suck for being able to go and I didn't, but awsome pics, man! Loved looking at them all!
Also, RoG, the chick with the green hair in that one G.I.JOE pic is Zartan's daughter. She's in the comics only. So don't worry, it wasn't a really bad Baroness or anything.
My favorite pic this year is definitely the Stormtrooper and the little kid Spider-Man. That fucking rules.
I really hope I can make it out there for next year's con.

And thanks for clearing up about Zartan's daughter. I was afraid, myself, that it was a poor Baroness cosplay, and then it was "Wait, Zartan had a daughter?!"
Second on the favorite photo and second on the "hope to be there next year" but unfortunately, I shall have to likely have to continue living vicariously through Rog's photo galleries.
Also, I had a friend tell me about the Yu Gi Oh thing a while ago. I stopped playing a while ago because it just got so stupid. Now, in the show, they play on those duel-runner motorcycle things. THEY PLAY CARDS WHILE RACING ON MOTORCYCLES.
As always the designer toy photos were awesome, I ought to get me some of those.
Secondly, you should have brought a bunch of bananas for Kevin Spacey so he can recreate that scene from K-PAX.
