My First Ever (but definitely not my last) Comic Con

FYI - My husband is a nerd. He loves his comic books, super hero's, anime and Sci Fi books and movies.... and TV shows. I didn't realize when I met him, that nerdiness is also often contagious. I don't necessarily fall for all the nerdy vices and some major nerds are going to scream at me for saying I don't care about Dr. Who, or Star Trek but I'm learning the ways of the nerd slowly but surely just by being around Bob. Naturally when Salt Lake City held their first annual Comic Con, we had to go check it out. I took pictures of everything! Here are some of the highlights:
Clone Wars Vet Hobo
We have gone to the dark side
Posing with the dinosaur
Until I realized this one isn't an herbivore
I found R2D2!
And Princess Leia
And the reason I wanted to go... My superheros!
Captain America and Loki
Black Widow and Hawkeye
Thor (his hair was real, not a wig..)
Iron Man (he acted just like Tony Stark too,
it was awesome)
Wolverine and Mystique
The Flash (our camera is amazing, we caught
him mid-run....)
Wonderwoman!! I don't know the other guy,
sorry I'm still learning...
There were villains too. Bob told Bane to smile and he said
"This is my smile", he sounded like the real thing too!
Poison Ivy and Deadpool
Finally something Bob wanted to pose with,
and it wasn't even a real person, just a card
board cut out.
Bob and I having fun waiting in line to watch
the Cos play competition
Winner of the Cos play competition
View of the crowds we fought all day.
I'm not a Dr. Who fan, but I had to take this for
my sister Savannah, who is..
And also this one, because I knew she would
want it. Too bad it was so blasted pricey,
or I would have gotten it for her for Christmas
and become the greatest sister ever...
We had so much fun, despite the crazy crowds, that I'm sure we will make this a new Loose tradition!
