I bought a superhero Uglydoll for my friend’s 1-year-old son, and I bought myself an Adventure Time scarf, so that’s neat. There wasn’t much to buy, so thankfully I didn’t spend too much money. He didn’t seem particularly thrilled to have me lumbering over him. I shook the hand of Mike Mignola, the man who invented Hellboy, so that was pretty awesome. There were a few creators I met too, though I didn’t have much to say to them dressed like that.

I just liked walking around the Con and taking pictures of all the awesome people in costume. I don’t particularly care about celebrity guests, so screw those guys. The Con was held at the Boston Seaport, just a big room packed to the brim with vendors and creators. Unless that business is picking up cute Con girls I loved that costume, but I retired 21 a few years ago. Join me after the jump to hear my tale of Comic-Connery, and check out my awesome, homemade cosplay costume!Īt previous cons, I dressed up as Henchman 21 from The Venture Bros. You can also read about the many reasons I love going to comic book conventions on a previous List of Six. And seriously, I’d buy it all if I could. There were thousands of fans, many many costumes, and more geeky merchandise than I could buy in a lifetime. The Boston Comic-Con was smaller than New York, but was still a ton of fun. It’s not cheap to fly out to California just to be stuck in a massive, unwavering crowd of comic book fans. I haven’t been to San Diego yet, mostly because I live in New York and am mostly broke all the time. I’ve been going to conventions for a few years now, and Boston is my third locale after Baltimore and New York. If you’re just tuning in, I went to the Boston Comic-Con last weekend, my first visit to Beantown’s comic book convention. I have returned to the blogowaves a champion, having successfully conquered the monstrous event known as Boston Comic-Con 2013!
