Ah, the joys of November: not just food and family, but cosplay and comic book conventions. The crew from Comic Issues made a trip to cover ComiKaze’s debut expo. Since it was a new convention, we weren’t sure what to expect. But there were tons of surprises, including Stan Lee (nuff said)!
For a full description of the convention, tune in this Wednesday for the latest episode of the Comic Issues Podcast. Until then, enjoy this photo gallery of cosplay fun.
The Dark Knight strikes again with the release of Batman Arkham City. But is this collector’s edition a hero or just a zero?

Batman: Arkham City is the sequel of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Arkham Asylum is one my favorite collector’s editions of all time. Batman: Arkham City has an enormous task to exceed the high expectations that the original set.
The Gears of War franchise has spawned tons of merchandise over the years. Here is a look at one of my favorites, The Retro Lancer.
The Retro Lancer replica is over three and half feet long. The size of it helps put into perspective how big the characters are to wield this gun. When you fire it, it sounds like a toy gun, but the detail on this replica is fantastic. It will look epic hanging over the fire place. If you truly love Gears of War and can afford the retail price of $99.99, it is a fantastic addition to your collection.

Gears of War 3 has finally graced our presence and I am here to tackle the Epic Edition. Is this collector’s edition worth calling “epic,” or just epic fail?

The last day of Comic Con came and went. I’m a little sad that it’s done, honestly. No more amazing costumes to check out, no more hotties walking around, and no more random nerdy fun. On the other side, though, my feet are glad that it’s all done.
Below is the last gallery of all the cosplayers, booth babes, and random hotties. Enjoy!
Also, stay tuned for the Comic Con 2011 video montage!

It felt like twice as many costumed folk and babes rolled into the third day of Comic Con 2011. Some are super wacky, and some are spot-on accurate. We’ve got over 100 photos from the floor, so check them out below!

Comic Con is known for the many creative people that work for weeks (and sometimes months) to make the best costume. It’s also known for its many booth babes. What is not usually featured are the funny hats, which I took pictures of this year. My obsession must come from the hat simulator game I always play.
Enjoy the photos! We’ll have more of them posted tomorrow.
The first day of Comic Con is officially over, and day two is in full swing. The booth babes, cosplayers, and — of course — we geeks have taken over San Diego and below are the pictures to prove it. Witness the South Park Ultimate Fan experience featuring racing, face painting, karaoke, and special flavored snow cones. Also included are a trio of Ramona Flowerses and Roxys, a pair of Slave Leahs, stormtroopers, and much more. PG will be covering Comic Con all week so stay tuned!
It’s time to get your Cosplay on! With Anime Expo 2011 in full swing this weekend, the crew from Pixelated Geek made its way to LA with very little traffic. Of course with any trip to LA, there was a little here or there, including an overturned vehicle. However James McGinley and myself made it there safely. Upon arrival, it was clear that this was a whole new convention. With it hitting its 20th anniversary, AX 2011 showcased high-quality cosplay; check it out below!
For the past five years, the beginning of June has marked a very special occasion for my friends and me here in Ohio. ColossalCon is (arguably) Ohio’s largest anime convention. Since 2008, the con has been held at the luxurious Kalahari Waterpark & Resort. While I know that this doesn’t even compare to the larger conventions held on the east or west coasts, this little slice of geekdom is all we have in the Midwest. I feel that those who live in San Diego, L.A., New York, and Boston need to see how we “country folk” do a convention. Check out the gallery after the jump. Much thanks to my photographer, Hannah Shoemaker, whose online portfolio can be found here.
