Comic-Con 08: The costumed men of Comic-Con (cosplay gallery) photo

Yes. That is a man, actually.

Destructoid proudly presents an epic gallery of men dressed as women, game characters, mutants, robots, and other vagina-repelling accoutrements from this year's Comic-Con convention in San Diego. Obviously, I love cosplayers to death. Like me, most of them are quiet everyday geeks that come out of their shell when in the company of other geeks -- and man there ever an epic overload of geekery at this fine venue.  

Among the distinguished men of Comic-Con you'll find Seth Killian from Capcom, the legendary Maddox (wearing a crown), the guy from Halo Wars who's photo is blurry which prevented me from cheating and reading his name tag, a few faces from our community, and Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore ... who is probably dead by the time you're reading this. Check out the sausagefest gallery for a few laughs.

Next up: Breasts attached to women, both unfortunately surrounded by clothing!

The Dead Space cosplayer is the most impressive, imo. O_O

Very cool. The Issac cosplayer was definitely my favorite.

...Wait...are those guys supposed to be steampunk Ghostbusters? I have a new favorite now. That is all different kinds of awesome. :D

And I demand a mascot fight between Cobra Commander (from G4), unemployed Skeletor (Spike TV), and Mr. Destructoid.

SWE3tMadness - I had the same thought - steampunk ghostbusters!

I found the middle-aged guys with UNSC fatigues and assault rifles more ridiculous than most.

Hey, Rog, it was nice bumping into you, though I wasn't with the rest of the Dtoiders at the time.

Here's one more for the gallery: [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/23910967@N08/2714654800/]

Niero's the one in the robot head and yet I'm the one who looks retarded. It's a gift I have.

@Zersturer

What's so ridiculous about them? They look fine to me (I mean, it's not like the military is only made up of young people).

IMHO, the obese/overweight people in spandex make me cringe. There needs to be some sort of weight requirement in order to wear spandex.
