Fan-made costumes at San Diego Comic-Con can be impressive, not just for the statements they make about an attendee's level of passion for Scott Pilgrim characters or War Machine, but for the innovation that goes on when someone switches the Green Hornet's gender or decides to go not just as a Yellow Lantern or Scarecrow, but as Yellow Lantern Scarecrow.
These are the badge buyers who truly deserve to be celebrated, and we have done just that in a photo gallery of costumes spotted around the San Diego Convention Center floor this week. Capturing all of the cosplay that goes on inside Comic-Con International would be a fool's errand, but this is a start.
I will say that I feel for the person in the Sock Monkey outfit, however. Walking around the con floor is an epic and dehydrating adventure, and that much extra insulation just screams for an internal air conditioning unit.
Also, I don't know how things are coming along for "Ghostbusters 3," but if there's a casting director walking around Comic-Con looking for a young Egon Spengler for a flashback or something, there is one brilliant candidate awaiting in this series of photos. Scope them out for yourself and decide how many you can properly identify without looking at the captions. The task is more difficult than you might imagine.
