I-Mockery's Big 2008 San Diego Comic-Con Photo Album!
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


I can't say I'm interested in the movie, but this display of the Dragon Emperor's army was a nice promo for The Mummy.


The only Aquaman I saw at the Comic-Con, and he looked about as enthusiastic
about being Aquaman as you'd expect the real one to look.


He-Man's glowing groin has the powerrrrrrrr!


Cyanide and Happiness = FRIENDS 4EVER!


Inside The Behemoth / Newgrounds afterparty with a giant Castle Crashers game projected on the wall to play.


Egads! It's Laura!


The REAL Optimus Prime is always happy to do an interview with a young fan!


Portions are getting much smaller these days and I, for one, am not happy about it.


300....... hairs per every inch of his body.


I would make a quip about this being yet another Joker and Harley Quinn, but he's got one hell of a gun.


They were looking for John Connor.


I wasn't sure if Snake Eyes was posing for the camera or preparing to strike me down.
I didn't stick around long enough to find out.


Here comes Peter Cottontail...


...hopping down the bunny trail...


...hippity hoppity hippity hop, Easter's on its way?


Skeletor really is a bastard.


Even with a juicy steak, the tears continue to flow from Crying Macho Man.


Always great to see Ms. Monster and her pals, she was rocking the Comic-Con as usual with that great blue complexion.


Awesome Plastic Man costume! The guy was walking around on stilts 'n everything. That's dedication!


Man... Adam West really let himself go!

There are still many more

Dammit, I missed Bruce Cambell. I need to read through the guide book more carefully next time (I missed the axe from The Shining as well, were was that?).

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?
OH GOD

pretty sure http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/comic-con08/104.jpg is supposed to be doctor mrs. the monarch aka dr. girlfriend in s3 of venture brothers, but kind of a lazy effort?

ok, alot of these pictures were frikken kickass.
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

Wow, 17 pages of pure awesome. Makes me wish I had the energy to sneak into the Con. I heard there was a Twilight movie panel, and I could've totally called them out on their bull or something. Oh well. I'm also pretty sure I met the second Nurse Joker at a Denny's afterwards.

SO yeah, agenda is currently: Get a dog, buy a pump, go to Comic-Con '09.

Great coverage as usual. Maybe one year I'll be able to make the trip across the country until then this with have to suffice. How is it in comparison to the NY comic-con.

Awesome job -RoG-, you can't imagine how much I have laughed this day.

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?

The girl taking a break from her meal to pose is fairly obsure. Its Dr. Girlfriend in her Queen Monarch costume...It didn't last long she went back to her regular Jackie Kennedy outfit by the next ep of Venture Bros.

Ok my geek is showing but two quick ones the goth Joker was a poor costume of Ryuuk from Death Note, and it's "Buddy Christ" not "Buddy Jesus" But anyway awesome set as always. How much was the shining axe? I want.

Good Golly. If I never make it to a Comic-Con at least I can die happy knowing I experience just a little bit of it every year thanks to you RoG. Fantastic pics as always.

You have a very difficult life going to these things as a business expense don't you.

I hate this hacker crap!
Aug 5th, 2008, 10:54 PM
Wow. It's almost like being there for real. hahaha

I wish I could've gone. Alas, it's a pipe dream.

Maddox said on his website he was not going to the Comic-con. Did he change his plans or something?

I have to say...I didnīt know that this con existed 2 years ago and I didnīt know it was important until...well, now. But what can I say, Iīm one ocean away from the whole thing.

Look interesting though. Just a little too crowded for my taste.

The unknown character on Pg. 11 (http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/comic-con08/216.jpg) is Emma Frost, aka The White Queen, from various X-Men incarnations.

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!
I must preserve my P.B.F.

Impressive number of pics. I vow to go to the comic con someday with my Duct Tape Ninja outfit.

Your Comic-con stuff is one of my favorite yearly articles. PaX is this August, but it isn't nearly as impressive. =/

Copper, thank you for identifying Emma Frost for Roger, because it was bothering the shit out of me that he didn't know that. haha

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.

Page 4 "Goth Joker" is actually Ryuk from Death Note.

Page 8 "Tarzan" girl is Lum from Urusei Yatsuura.

*salutes* Always happy to oblige, sir.

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?!" (I know he had siblings, but a kid?) Thanks.

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.

Yay!

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.

I like each year's Comic Con picture galleries, since I'm too time strapped to go to one on a plane from Australia. I suppose there were a lot of Jokers, but think of how embarrassed they would be from knowing a lot of other people went as the same character...

As always the designer toy photos were awesome, I ought to get me some of those.

A few comments. First...that "burlesque" person in red and fishnets...is that really a woman?
Secondly, you should have brought a bunch of bananas for Kevin Spacey so he can recreate that scene from K-PAX.
