ComicCon Costumes, Conclusion

Now, on its own this is a nice Green Lantern costume (I don't believe she was trying to be a specific Green Lantern, and since they all look a little different anyway it doesn't matter; I just picked a fairly basic female GL costume for comparison), but what really makes these two shine is the Guardian of Oa costume on her kid. The Guardians are often called "smurfs" by some of the Green Lantern Corps because of their size; they would come up to your waist or at best armpit heightwise. Thus the addition of her own little Guardian boosted this costume from good to awesome. I understand why she wouldn't facepaint her kid's face blue though.

At first I wondered how this guy was hunching over to get his head where it is before realized this is a kid in the suit. An absolutely ingenious zombie costume!

Here we have Zatanna, from the Justice League, and Jean Grey, also known as Phoenix of the X-Men.

I'm going to try explain the awesomeness of this photo in as brief a manner as possible, but it's going to be tough. The first cool thing about this picture is I think this was all one family. Represented here we have 5 of the 7 "Corps" that are running around in space in the DC comics universe. Traditionally there have been Green Lanterns (who is the only one the layman might have heard of), and lately a bunch of other color Lanterns have popped up (Black Lanterns, Red Lanterns, etc). To have a family come representing all the different Corps was very cool (and how cute is the Green Lantern kid in the stroller?)

I'll be honest, at first I thought these were kind of lame Stormtrooper costumes. Then I realized they were actually Stormtroopers from Lego Star Wars, and instantly they became awesome (especially because 3 of them were trooping around together). The sharp-eyed amongst you may notice that the guy dressed as a cop they're talking with is actually dressed as a member of the GCPD, aka the Gotham City Police Department, from the Dark Knight film.

Here we have Silk Spectre and Nite Owl from the Watchmen, as well as Link from Zelda. The Nite Owl costume isn't that impressive because it is obviously store bought; if the Silk Spectre costume is store bought at least it was a lot better quality. I didn't bother taking pictures of people in store bought costumes since they never look anywhere near as good as the homemade ones.

And just to finish things off, here is the Ecto-1 (from Ghostbusters) and the original Batmobile. Hope you enjoyed!
