John Ary From Austin Comic Con 2012: Cosplay!!
John Ary here reporting from Austin Comic Con 2012.
With Halloween around the corner, I thought I would post a few cosplay pics from opening night. I'm not exactly sure who or what I'll be dressing up as this year, but chances are that it will absolutely suck in comparison to these talented folks. We'll have more tidbits from the con posting soon.

This is the highlight of my life

I know how it feels!!! Congratulations!!!!!
-
That photo, 2nd row, first on the right, is that... Spider-Caveman? Can he save me a bunch of money by switching to Geico?
-
I'm not sure which is more pathetic - the fat dudes or the fat chicks trying to look sexy... yikes!

This is like a sad pathetic little local version of Comic-Con

That is one sad display of ugly, fat people in bad costumes.

Comic con is suppose to be fun not about judging people you fucks!
-
That while we can applaud everyone for dressing up and going to Cons, let's face it, all we want to see are hot girls in tight, low cut costumes.
-
I'd like to Eegah them
-
Unless it's something where their obesity actually contributes to the outfit.

The thing is, Austin has some EXTREMELY attractive women. They just don't go to things like this I guess.

are all words I'm getting sick of hearing lately. Maybe hurricane Sandy will destroy the internet and all of its gay hipster doofusness.
-
I wonder if it smelled Jawa-bad or regular geek-bad?
-
Best comment so far. Kudos, sir.
-
Because they know even fat girls won't date a guy in A)Parents basement and B)Smell of 3 day old cum <br> Nothing wrong with these girls and none of them are extremely obese. <Br> Not all of the girls can be calender girls, just like all you complaining neckbeards can't all follow proper hygiene.
-
..yet I choose to dress up as a minor comic book/computer games character, please take away my right to vote.
-
I bet Hiddleston gets some serious tail given Loki's female fanbase.
-
Gina from the speed dating skit in 40 Year Old Virgin.
-
The other half is seeing half naked geek girls prancing around. What's 0% fun is the overpriced vendors ad 75.00 autographs (I'm looking at you Shatner!).
-
I will pay actual money for this to happen. Do you hear me, Marvel and Nintendo?
-
Is it because they're completely secure and self confident enough to be able to show up dressed like Sailor Moon, or is it a total lack of shame and self awareness?
-
But that's just one opinion.
-
I thought the slutty Dr. Who was a trendy costume this year.
-
She's a Brick--house!
-
Superheros dessing up as fatties.

Stop complaining, show a pic of yourself cosplaying.
by DidntPullOutInTimeCop
Love the time & creativity of the people in these photos. I hope movie costume designers go to thess things to get ideas, I bet they do!
-
These people are having fun, and good on them. Some of the pit-dwelling talkbackers on here need to put up their own photos or shut up. Pathetic, negative, boring fuckers. Ps is there anything more pathetic than geeks making bullying remarks about OTHER geeks' appearances? All it does is show how badly you let the world treat you and how desperately bitter you are about it...shame. Ps zombie Mario and Peach. Love it. This might already be a thing, but if not, that's some great work right there.

Ps agreed with the edit thing as well. But not the use of the word Cosplay...
by Luke
...it's just dressing up, for fuck's sake. I don't know when Cosplay started being used as a term to make it sound like a more adult pastime, but it's annoying in it's attempt to make it sound like something that it isn't. It's dressing up. That's it! Don't be ashamed to call it what it is! It doesn't NEED to be disguised as something else.

The reason I don't dress up in cosplay is because I'm a 42 year old father of two...and slim.

what if the commissioner calls with an emergency?

Not bad, the San Diego one definitely produces more photo ops.
by Pixelsmack
I should know, my bedroom and bathroom walls have every square inch of drywall covered with photos from them. I have stock in Jergens and wet-naps.
-
All of the "Look! Ugly and fat people" commenters needs to show up to a large con and start shouting that, so we can all make you eat a fucking brick. Assholes.
-
I'd hit it... with my dick, even.

We didn't decide to call anything Cosplay. Cosplayers decided to call it Cosplay...
by Jaka
...so more power to 'em!

I don't know if everybody is seeing them the same, but far right on the third row...
by Jaka
...the pic with the three women/girls in it. I don't actually know what any of their costumes are - bubble girl, possible x-something and gold lame woman. Yeah, gold lame woman is milfy milftastic. Looks like she could be their mother when you enlarge the pic, but she's definitely WAY closer to my age bracket than the other two.

I've got to agree about all the rude comments, not really necessary
by Jaka
First of all, do you really think they don't KNOW that they're overweight? <p> Second, they still got off their asses, created a costume and had enough guts to wear it to a con. While you commenters are just sitting on your asses in your homes, thinking you're clever for pointing out the obvious.
-
That is all.

@jaka, that's Rogue from the X-Men hanging out with the robots from Mystery Science Theater 3000
by kevred
aka MST3K. And the one in gold is Crow T. Robot, and I think she's the hottest thing in either of these Comic-Con articles. I'd make a bad joke about "we've got movie sign!", but I can't think of one.

With all the fatties at comic book conventions, why no Kingpin costumes?
by Royston Lodge
Seems like a no-brainer.
-
She got a donkey!!!! id tap that! Also the red robin suit with the roodie is badass. it looks legit.
-
...even though I've never followed anything x. And unfortunately, MST3K totally missed me. I think I would probably have been a fan, but by the time I knew what it was it was pretty much done and I felt like I was arriving at the party while the cleanup was already taking place.

It's amusing how women are pretending to have

been into the Thor corner of the Marvel U all along. All it took was some eye candy in a few movies for them to care.
