On a related note, there was an AWESOME Obama impersonator wandering around the convention with a full security force.
A lot of people thought it actually was Obama because he looked so much like him.
Well whaddaya know! It's the Salt 'n Peppa of the new millennium!
Everything about this character from the upcoming game, Darksiders, was big: his boots, his gloves,
his sword,
his Klingon-esque forehead ridges, even his game, which was a big rip-off of God of War.
But Mark Hamill
is apparently doing a voice for the game, so maybe I'll reserve my judgment. Maybe.
We managed to catch Tricky the Clown at the Newgrounds booth. Word of advice: don't look under the skirt.
I wish I could say something about this pic other than "that mask is seriously creeping me out".
Yet another guy on stilts...
Pshaw. A poor man's Bender, if you ask me. And Bender is a poor man already... though not as poor as those guys.
You've seen their free action figures made of popsicle sticks and styrofoam, right?
Silk Spectre and Golden Age Sandman!
The Slave Leias always have a lot of people crowding around to take pictures, for some reason.
This Wonder Woman comes equipped with rather large, uh...shields.
You couldn't ask for a better Dr. Orpheus and Triana. Well you could, but you'd be a jerk for doing so.
The whole time this picture was being taken, they were discussing how overpriced the t-shirts were at the booth next to us.
Proto totally felt like he was in a Star Trek movie!!
Do these guys all stuff their pants? Seriously.
Pretty good Wasp and Captain America here. Don't care for the shield though.
Ah, an inseparable pair! Red Skull and Barf!
Not a half bad Link, if you ask me. Check out that custom shield!
As soon as I saw that guy being absorbed into that neon green monstrosity, I ran the fuck away as fast as I could.
A "Birthday Bimbo" hat, compliments of Dick's Last Resort restaurant.
Good Darth Revan outfit, although I'm not 100% behind his choice of dress shoes. They just don't seem very "Sith" to me.
Classic Comedian and Silk Spectre.
Anybody else notice that Bumblebees crotch looks like a futuristic pair of scissors?
Harley Quinn was VERY popular this year (not that I'm complaining).
The guy in this photo is my new hero.
The world needs to see more of him doing nothing but making that face in every photo he appears in.
Crowded you say? Naaaah!
Dragons and Comic-Con? This guy is clearly trying to tap into the wrong demographic.
Some really impressive masks made from carved wood.
It's always nice to see something really different at a Comic-Con booth like this.
More impressive carvings...
I'd be proud to have any of of these as the doorbell to my home.
Though they'd be more appropriate for a castle if you ask me.
That's right... a castle... with a doorbell.
Joss Whedon fanboys geeking out in ecstasy.
The decision to put Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini may very well be the smartest thing George Lucas ever did.
There are still many more

Which makes me think there might be good money in creating a superhero with a beer gut.
RUFIO! RUFIO!
Sorry, that's just the jealousy talking. Thanks for all the fantastic pics, folks! It's a blast seeing what's there and the comments really make some of them. By far, my favorite page was 23. So many favorite characters there! And I can agree on the Monarch costume. Only thing that would've made it better would've been wings, but I can imagine those would have been a bitch to get around with. Great seeing all the steampunk stuff, too. Have a couple friends that like it, so I'll have to share info on the pics.
Every time I read one of these things, it's "Someday, when I win the lottery..." Until then, this is the next best thing! Fab presentation, Rog!
Someone actually went as "The White Violin" from Umbrella Academy on page 8! I was planning to do that for halloween. Since I play violin and I'm a comic writer, I could think of no better costume than an outcast violinist that uses her music to kill.
Tell me, though: Was she only holding the violin or did she actually play?
PS I nearly wet myself laughing at the last picture of the Cobra Comander getting himself some munchies.
Also, the last picture was the best. He's dressed just like he was in the cartoon movie! AWESOME
Inflatable Animated Jazz costume? That's different.
I am ashamed that I know this.
As for whether or not the shirts will make their way onto the store page, as I stated in the article itself, EVERYTHING we sold at Comic-Con will be available for purchase on the site at some point in the near future. I just need to revamp the store a bit and figure out the shipping costs for things. But yeah, it'll all be available for purchase on I-Mockery soon.
T-Shirts, Posters, Pickle Hats, Comics, Stickers... the works!
Tell me, though: Was she only holding the violin or did she actually play?
I can't wait to buy Proto's comic
We asked Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and they all turned us down and said we were failures who'll never find true happiness. And they spit on us.
araretwinkie, I do hope to eventually make some PC / Console games though... I've always wanted to. Would really just need to find a programmer capable of doing it. That and some extra money to invest into a dev kit for one o' the consoles. Those things ain't cheap ya know. If we were to do that though, I'd want to do a completely original game (like our Trick-Or-Treat Adventure Quest game) instead of a parody one like the Abobo one we're currently working on. Abobo will be EPIC though... and free for everybody to play.
Aimless, hehe yeah that kit is great. I always mean to buy it every time I see it at Comic-Con, but come Sunday I forget to pick it up from that booth. Guess I'll just have to eBay it.
Whoever took all the photos did a great job! I had a lot of people walk in front of me whenever I had the camera out. D:
I was checking online and found this very poor i-mock rip off but the ad is amazing.
I saw a match between three KBB guys and three guys from this fed called CHIKARA, where the CHIKARA guys won by pouring tartar sauce on the sea monsters from KBB.
Meet Dr. Cube.
If I ever make it to the comic con, I'm definitely going as either Dr. Cube or Ted Dibiase.
Protoclown and you guys are always awesome, but sometimes I'm bewildered when I'm unfamiliar with 1980s franchises like Masters of the Universe and G.I. Joe. Not that those things aren't bad, I just feel... unfamiliar with them, since I never even saw G.I. Joe to this very day. In Australia it's different to America because we're so isolated from the rest of the world here, and we don't get access to limited edition toys and collectables as easy. Call it tyranny of distance if you will.
Great photo spread, though, either way. It's too bad you can't get videos of some of the cosplayers who acted in character in addition to looking in character, like your Jack Sparrow friend. :P
