Big Apple Comic Con 2016
March 5
Rogue
Is it Big Apple Comic Con? Is it New York Comic Book Marketplace? It seems to be used interchangably. Nevertheless, it's a one day con that I spend a large portion of my time outside for, so captions seem more appropriate than a full-on report. I TALKED TO JAMES O'BARR AGAIN. I THINK I MANAGED COMPLETE SENTENCES THIS TIME. |
|
|
|
Tim Drake Red Robin |
Matt Murdock from Daredevil |
*Fantastic* Captain America. I got to pose with him some during the Marvel photoshoot. |
|
|
|
Really awesome Scarlet Witch cosplayer from the movies. |
I had lunch with Greg. He's gonna make that face when I use my camera, I'm gonna publish that photo. I did warn him. |
Super Soldier Bucky! |
|
|
|
Me with a Rule 63 Jubilee |
Spinelli from Recess! |
Kate Foil as Black Widow |
|
I MET JAMES O' BARR AGAIN. I didn't know he was going to be there! He was just in Artist's Alley instead of a featured guest (why, I'll never know), so I just kind of spotted him from one of the aisles, panicked for a few seconds, then made my way over. I hadn't brought any of my Crow stuff with me, so I was going to commission a sketch, but I didn't have any cash on me, and his handler's Square thingamabob was broken. So I asked if he would take a picture with me, and he said yes! And he actually came out from behind the table and everything! And then he asked me how I wanted to pose, and I kind of melted and said "Any way you want to" because SERIOUSLY THIS IS JAMES O'BARR, AND THEN HE DID THE PROM POSE WITH ME AND I DIED. I'm dead. The end. (No, I existed a little while longer. But OH MY GOD JAMES O'BARR.) |
|
|
|
Then I went outside to do the Marvel photoshoot. Jesus Christ Bananas it was cold! Jesse loaned me his jacket. |
Agent Coulson, Captain America, Nick Fury, and Luke Cage |
S.H.I.E.L.D. |
|
|
I had put my hair in curlers the night before! You can almost see a difference. |
Am I photobombing the Spider-Men? |
|
|
Don't worry, this was a misleading cover. Dr. Doom can't actually lift Mjollnir. |
The gathering crowd. |
|
|
Derp. |
What a neat setup! I don't know what those stairs are for usually, but they made a great place to pose. |
|
|
"Cosplayers, Assemble!" |
First, heroes! |
|
|
More heroes. |
Look at all the photographers! |
|
|
I think this was the antihero group? |
Great candid shot of Kate |
|
|
I honestly can't remember if I was posing or just fixing my hair. |
Heroes versus villains |
|
|
The guys in the back |
Side view |
|
|
Jesse got a little snap happy with my camera. |
I am exponentially less attractive when I'm not aware my photo is being taken. |
|
|
Spider-Man and...Blue Spider-Man? Honestly the Spider-verse is pretty overpopulated with arachnids, it's hard to keep track. |
Members of Avengers, past and current |
|
|
Mike Fischman and me! |
Everyone was taking silly couple shots, so this random (but really nice) cosplayer and I turned to each other and hugged. Instant friendship! |
|
|
The men of Marvel |
The ladies of Marvel |
|
|
Well, why not. |
These negasonic teenagers and their new-fangled phones. |
|
|
This is about as affectionate as Rogue can safely get. |
We did another "all Marvel" shoot as more people had shown up. |
|
|
I asked the really great Captain America if it would be okay to pose like this--you always ask with someone you don't know. (And even sometimes if you do.) |
And more people kept coming! |
|
|
Legopool has arrived! The crowd started chanting, "LegoPOOL! LegoPOOL!" |
He was having a lot of trouble climbing up the stairs (the legs weren't flexible) so the crowd started chanting, "Pick him UP! Pick him UP!" I quickly warned people no, no, that's not a good idea. Costumes are breakable, yo. |
|
|
Heroes again |
I like Spidey on Wolverine's shoulders. That was neat. |
|
|
X-Men |
I believe another Avengers group? |
|
|
Now with Nick Fury. |
These guys took a 3D scan of my body to make an action figure out of me! I checked it out--if you ever want to feel insecure about every bulge of your body, have this done. If I ever get down to my ideal weight again, I'll probably give this another try. |
|
|
|
The photoshoot starts to wind down. |
But what a great way to meet new friends! |
Gadget and Monty from Rescue Rangers! |
|
|
|
Lando Calrissian from Star Wars |
Finn from Star Wars |
Cosplaying While Black (it's a thing, look it up) |
|
|
Me and Brian Ngai! |
OH HEY let's do another Marvel photoshoot! Indoors this time! |
|
|
|
It was warmer temperature wise, but it also cast a warm kind of "filter" over all the photos. |
Heroines |
Posing for Brian |
|
|
Mike had taken over using my camera for me, and he figured out the settings far better than I ever have! |
More and more people kept showing up. |
|
|
Marvel women |
Marvel versus DC |
|
|
There I am! |
And now, a fun one! |
|
|
"Everyone cheer really quietly!" |
The other Rogue in the front is Queen Ally Cosplay! She's got some seriously amazing costumes. |
|
|
|
Mike poses with his hero. |
Black Panther |
The best (and most fun) way to defeat Wolverine. |
|
|
|
Captain Zorikh and me |
This was funny... |
...but THIS was even funnier. |
|
Linwood showed up towards the end of the con, and ended up winning a prize because he knew Captain Marvel was originally supposed to be called Captain Thunder. |
More Photos (none taken by me)
|
|
Oh sure, when it's HIS camera, he smiles. My hair looks fantastic here. |
Mike as Finn and me as Rogue |
|
|
I take The Red Hood's memories. |
"Uh, maybe you shouldn't be doing that?" - Jesse in the background. |
|
|
|
Well that solves that problem. |
Kate Foil as Black Widow and me as Rogue |
And another one. |
