As much as I love The Maxx, I couldn't stomach spending $30 bux on an immobile figure the size of a Happy Meal toy.
Pole dancing for Crispin Glover's new movie, The Wizard of Gore. And why not?
The Clairvoyant Sleeping Cat would dish out your fortune... or coupons for the Adult Swim store.
I absolutely love the "Murder Edition" of Zog.
I love my Sharky figure and I'm looking forward to the release of the Hammerhead one.
This natural blood one looks damned nice too.
If only all spray cans looked as cool as these.
Another asylum escapee Joker. I guess he grew all that hair out because they wouldn't let him have a razor in there?
That girl on the right... I want her shoes.
Completely powerless, Hello Kitty looked on in absolute horror.
I think Santa got a glimpse of what Hello Kitty saw too.
Shiny!
Awww... I think he's hungry.
No Comic-Con would be complete without some new Lord of the Rings merch.
Gotta love this Wall-E model.
Moustaches really do make everything better, don't they.
Harley Quinn, presumably looking for a Joker. Somehow I don't think she'll have a problem finding one this year.
I don't care who you are, you just can't do a better version of "Buddy Jesus" than this guy...
...but you can definitely top this Beetlejuice with a little effort.
Live long and prosper. That goes for the Tribble in her hand too.
Iron Man tried to stop me in my tracks as I left the Comic-Con on Sunday.
As much as I didn't want to go, the show was over and it was time for us all to go back home.
And that pretty much does it for this gargantuan gallery of 2008 San Diego Comic-Con photos. I would say more, but my eyes are bleeding after weeding through the 1000+ photos I had taken with my camera at this year's convention. Hope you all enjoyed looking at the pics! See you next year San Diego!

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

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.
