Wizard World Chicago 2006, Part One!
After the long comment drought, here comes a comment flood... We (Gavin, Justin, Beth, and Nick) went to Wizard World Chicago 2006! Yes, many pictures were taken...
Beth, Justin (dressed as "Shaun of the Dead"), and me (dressed as some kind of dork).
As usual, costumes abounded. Supergirl and Spider-Man were entertaining some kids...
Later, Spider-Man ran into his old Marvel pal Beast.
Disturbingly, we later saw Supergirl talking to supervillain extraordinaire Dr. Doom!
Imperial stormtroopers are always in high supply at a comic book convention.
I don't know why Batgirl would be talking to an Imperial officer, though.
There were some other Batman guys there too, like The Joker, Harley Quinn, and their daughter, I guess...
...not to mention Robin, the Boy Wonder. (Me: "Beth, did you ask him to pose like that?" Beth: "No, he just... did.")
Batman himself made an appearance with his co-workers in the Justice League of America, who maybe ought to be hitting the gym a little more frequently.
There was a wrestling ring in the middle of the convention floor where at some point some sort of wrestling was going to take place (I think), but on Saturday was mostly used for various contests and appearances. As you can see, there were some scantily cheerleader-type women associated with the wrestling league, who provided some cheesecake. Also note Captain America and Iron Man, who look like they've eaten too much cheesecake.

I'm going to break this entry up into a few smaller ones. Consider this Part One.
