Major Spoilerite, Frank attended Dragon*Con in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago, and he sent over a plethora of pictures of people on parade in their fancy duds and well made costumes.
This is the 10th year my wife and I have gone to Dragon*Con. In 2003, most of the costumes were Stormtroopers, courtesy of the 501st.
Now, in 2012, there is a wide variety of genres represented, including Science Fiction,gaming, YA, comics, Steampunk, horror, comedy, and science. There was a strong representation of Medieval/Fantasy costumes from Tolkien, LARPers, the Society of Creative Anachronism, and Game of Thrones.
Thanks Frank, and remember Spoilerites, if you have been to a convention, show, event, and/or signing, and you have pictures to share, send them our way, as we’re happy to feature them!

When I saw Firestorm, all I could think of was the Robot Chicken DC Comics Special
I love those cardboard costumes, though, that is a pretty interesting look.
That’s me as the Box Hero Firestorm. More info about the Box Heroes can be found at http://theboxherocorps.blogspot.com/ and more info on Superhero costuming at Dragon*Con can be found at http://www.thesuperherocostumingforum.com
Thanks for including us Major Spoilers!
I like the Yellowjacket & Wasp, as well as Belle and her “Beast”.
Hooray for couples’ costumes…and cute girls.
