Pictures from the 2018 Comic-Con International, part 3 (Thursday, 7/19)

Okay, it's time to look at some of the many, many pictures I took at Comic-Con on Thursday of the show. There are so many that I'll split this up into two posts. That's just the way it has to be, folks.


Early in the morning, we have see Iron Spiders on their way to the exhibit hall.


The first thing I did on Thursday was head over to the Disenchantment booth and display. Later in the day, I saw that the line stretched all the way around the booth and to the wall, so I'm glad that I, uh, cheated a bit and got in early.


I'm kind of surprised that Netflix, which doesn't advertise its shows very often, had a booth for this new cartoon in the first place. But what better place to have one than at Comic-Con?


I've watched most of season one at this point, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying this show. And I managed to get some free temporary tattoos and a shirt at the booth!


Alas, poor Robin.


Naturally, there were a lot of Rick and Morty costumes on display at the show, but this was one of the better ones.


I spent some time signing comics (and stuff) at the New England Comics booth, which is always a treat. Here I am with artist Ian Nichols, who drew the new issue. Great.


This is a really nice Adam Warlock costume!


This woman does not seem nearly frightened enough of the world-devourer.


Classic.


I really do like the current Captain Marvel costume.


There's always a strong Disney contingent of costumers. But I'd never seen this before.


Who would have thought that the Mantis would be a popular enough character to inspire great costumes like this? Madness.


I appreciate the classic Loki helmet here.


Here's me with someone cosplaying as Leonard Maltin. Wait, that's actually Leonard Maltin. I seem to see him every year.


The first panel I went to this year was the Bongo Comics panel, where I was greeted by this group of Marges.


You have to get one of these pictures every year. Glad to get it out of the way.


I guess Disney owns both of these characters now.


...Disney owns these characters now, too, don't they?


I find this costume to be...acceptable.


A few booths away from mine in the small press section gathered a medium-sized crowd on Thursday, so I decided to check out what the noise was about. It turns out that someone brought a copy of Action Comics #1 from 1938 to display.


The cynic in me finds it a bit of a stretch to think that this is a genuine copy of Action Comics #1. This is mostly because there are only an estimated 100 copies of this book in existence, but beyond this, the copy was only in a regular bag and board as opposed to, say, bulletproof glass, and the copy looked to be in pretty decent shape. That would mean that someone would purposely bring a book probably worth around two million dollars to set out on a table.

But the fan in me really hopes that this is a legitimate first printing, because WOW! I almost asked to smell it.


These fine gentlemen stopped by the small press booth as I was eating lunch. Both of them work on the cartoon Bob's Burgers. We had a nice chat and then they left - but on Friday, one of them returned with a lot of cool Bob's Burgers promotional items, like buttons and stickers. It was great to meet them!


Yes, I see you, Mikey.


Very nice Wonder Woman costume!


If you have a twin, this is the PERFECT costume set to wear! I really enjoyed seeing this Peter Parker/Ben Rielly pair. Excellent job.

Okay, I've got a lot more pictures from Thursday, but this seems to be a good place to take a break. I'll post the others soon!
