    Major Spoilers reader Matthew Tyndall took a trip down to Orlando this past weekend to hang with the likes of Wonder Woman, Storm Troopers, and Marvel’s Joe Q. Along the way he met some well knowns, some not so well knowns and took a a bunch of pictures to share with other Major Spoilers followers.

    Don’t forget to click the images for a larger (1024×682 and higher) images.

    Which one of these Green Lanterns doesn’t belong here (hint: it’s the one that isn’t a member of the space based corps.)

    2321866621_94a41c2140_o.jpg2321861089_bf776c393d_o.jpg

    My god! They’re mutating into human form!

    2321861839_e5e047800a_o.jpg2321864585_cb59967267_o.jpg

    Aren’t you a little short for a Wookie?

    2321862593_4443f19a7e_o.jpg

    uh…

    2321865591_485ee060f0_o.jpg

    Aren’t you a little tall for a Jawa?

    2321866313_2e08c96081_o.jpg

    Can’t wait to see if this turns out to be rip-off of yet another artist.

    Last night we dined in hell! And it was an all you can eat buffet!

    I don’t know what Nerb Fighting is, but it was popular enough that Matthew took a lot of pictures of it.

    2322676104_e0ab291d98_o.jpg

    Well hello…

    There were plenty of Storm Troopers around the show floor.

    2321867909_16cc11153a_o.jpg

    Well hello…

    2321868283_643dc53f85_o.jpg

    2322691340_6e46e040ea_o.jpg

    Only at a comic convention would a man with bombs strapped to his chest wander aimlessly without attracting attention. Curse you Cobra!

    2322683962_9cac61a65d_o.jpg

    Well hello!

    2321869557_c8e8bc4caa_o.jpg

    Funny story – We were standing at the door to the room Quesada was going to be in and a guy walked up looked in the door and came out and we asked if this was where Quesada will be. The guy gave us a weird look and said yes and walked off. A few minutes later we went into the room sat down and the same guy walks in and goes to the mic. Yup is was Joe Quesada who looked completely different cause he lost a lot of weight.

    Here’s Matthew and his friend with the mighty slim Joe Q.

      Thanks for putting up the pics Stephen. Megacon was great and I am soo glad I was able to go. I got lucky it was on the same week that my spring break was. Just wish something major was announced cause I wanted an exclusive hahaha. BTW Wonder Woman was the highlight of my day there :-D

      yes, “Well Hello!” is the new catch phrase, it narrowly beat out the one that usually follows it “My eyes are up here, nerd”

      The pictures are great, but the popup to html is problematic on smaller resolutions. I don’t suppose the popup page could be modified to use percentage size tags for the images, or the lightbox plugin for wordpress. Info here: http://stimuli.ca/lightbox/

      Love the site! Thanks for all you do,

      Barry: Thanks for the link – not a big fan of the various lightbox plug-ins that are out there, but I’ll give this one a look. The reason you’re having problems is because I opted to go for the raw image size of 1600×1900 for most of the images.

      I absolutely love that random Phillies fan in the background in that photo of Poison Ivy. And how about that Wonder Woman … not too shabby eh?

      What I don’t get is that whole fake light saber fighting thing.

      big a hit as it was . Wouldn’t mind geting autographs from Johnthan
      Frakes or Brent Spiner hope this Megacon is as good as the last one.
