If there’s one thing that’s universally true about fan conventions, it’s that there will be cosplay. In the case of San Diego, many people who are packing away this year’s costume as I write are also planning next year’s costume in their heads. Serious cosplayers don’t just raid the local costume shop at Halloween. They painstakingly search through fabrics to get just the right texture and weight to recreate the looks of their favorite heroes. It doesn’t even have to be heroes, or re-creations for that matter. Cosplayers come up with infinite variations of familiar themes and those are often the most amazing costumes you’ll see.

They don’t tell you about this in the history books, but the Union won the Civil War thanks to a little known band of soldiers armed with advanced weapons like lighsabers and proton packs.
This is the most inaccurate Civil War re-enactment ever, but I would pay good money to watch it.

It was only a matter of time before the uneasy truce between the Pirates, Robots, Ninjas and Zombies Alliance (PRNZA) and the Smurfs boiled over into bloodshed. Clearly, they have underestimated the Smurf.
This 3D movie thing is beginning to get out of hand. Prices are already high and now companies like Hasbro are selling special 3D glasses that double as Optimus Prime and Bumblebee masks. That means you can cosplay while watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon when it hits theaters on July 1st.
Unfortunately, the earliest band of Nintendo pirates met a quick and inglorious end. They learned the hard way that if you are going to board another ship by force, you had better bring real guns—not zappers.
