Which is interesting because up until a few weeks ago, I didn't know Phoenix HAD a Comicon.

There was quite a few people who showed up however andI was rather impressed by the turnout:
Stan Lee
George Taki
Wil Wheaton
Todd McFarlane
Bruce Boxleitner
And quite a few others...

Have quite a few photos and, if this Comicon taught me anything its I suck at taking photos from an iPhone.
Image
View from the roof of the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix looking down at the Massive new convention center. You just can't get an idea for how MASSIVE this place is. It goes up three stories and DOWN two stories. there is a football field sized area a good 40ft below street level.

Image
Outside of the center and first comic goers I see and... Whats this, could it be?
Image
Why yes! Its the Boba-Fett Army! (You would not believe just how many Boba-Fetts show up)

Image
View of the line to get in the convention floor itself. keep in mind this whole area is about 40ft below street level.

Image
Once inisde I started looking for more Starwars stuff and... HEY LOOK! More Boba-Fetts!

Image
A rack of unknown StarWars weaponry, which I am sure someone here can identify by sight ;P

Image
There was a group of Droid makers there and a VERY professional R2
Actually there was about two or three R2's but this is far and away the best.

Image
GONK! GONK!

Image
Of all the various SW shops in the area, I marveled that, of ALL the toys put out, and ALL the starships...
Lucas NEVER seemed to put out a Toy ISD. Such a shame...

Image
This couple was a please surprise, quite a few Steam-Punkers out and these two were the best in show.
The little gears on his arm actually moved on tiny motors.

Image
This was amazing, bits lit up, and the Ms informed it was NOT a deathray, but in fact a Cooking Ray
Invaluable for help around the kitchen as seen by the egg-beater and salt dispenser.

Image
Now this WAS a deathray in a shop with quite a few others.
Image
Image

Image
BEHOLD!!! Steampunk Inspector Gadget!!!

Costume wise there were quite a few good ones... Some of the better ones I saw at the show...
Image SoulEater
Image Unknown, but awesome
Image Redskull
Image And of course the Captain!
Image Masterchief
Image Some brave servants of the Emperor
Image Joker and Harly Quinn
Image ITSA LINK!
Image Random Anime?

Finally there is this one which I think was the most obscure Character I saw at the show:
Image
I don't think I've EVER seen a cosplayer dress up as this individual before... And I'll see who can name this person first :wink:

There was a bit of Dr. Who there as well,
Image This kid was Awesome, AND he has a Fez!
Image This one I feel bad about because its a crappy photo, but still awesome. I mean how many people do you know that dress up AS The TARDIS?
Image Never found out who this belonged to, but Tardis bike is awesome.

Some more costumes now of some of the ladies there:
Image Rei and some other Anime ladies.
Image Power girl and Poison Ivy
Image Blackwidow? I forget her name... :oops:
Image AHHH MOTHERLAND!!!!
Image Monarch Henchmen.. eh, Hench-Women!
Image
NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN!NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN!
NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN!NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN!

After a bit of walking, took a break at my favorite part of the whole Comicon...
Image
YAOI!!!

Blackwidow? I forget her name...
She definitely was a spider-womanish, maybe Black Panther?
HHH MOTHERLAND!!!!
Is she (he?) from any particular series/comic?

She, and I THINK she may be some random person from "Command and Conquer" Since they always have soviets in them :D

WOW~! A winner is you as they say.
Good eye on that, very obscure charichter to cosplay as, but one of my personal favorites from the game :D

And Stravo, even as a gay guy I can appreciate all the "hotties" that come out for these.
