Wow, C-3PO had some big brains. What happened?
The legend of Darth Tater lives on!
Say... where have I seen these before?
Mantenna's constant appearance of total shock will never cease to amuse me.
Super Powers! Easily my favorite old school superhero figures of all time.
Even older school.
The original Battle Armor Skeletor and Panthor set. If only it didn't cost hundreds o' dollars...
Oh no! It's a member of Cobra's dreaded Paintball Viper Squad!
Goth? Joker? I'm not sure, nor do I care.
Holy expensive trading cards, Batman!
Some old guy didn't want me to photograph this Captain America shield, so I did it out of spite when he wasn't looking.
Welcome to Comic-Con, bitch.
Why so blue?
As I walked away after taking this picture, I heard somebody approach this guy and
question the number of rank pins he had on his collar, "But a captain has FOUR rank
pins
and
you're wearing FIVE!" I feel nerdier just for having overheard that argument.
This will forever remain my favorite Alex Ross painting.
Here's the actual set of Domo-Kun Mimobot flash drives. Raaaaaaar!
Apparently this was the booth where green-haired folk meet.
A really old wind-up Joker toy.
You can't go wrong with Kingdom of Loathing's sabre-toothed lime.
I wish this guy hadn't put down his inflatable He-Man power sword. It would've made the picture even better.
There are still many more
2008 San Diego Comic-Con photos to see!

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.
