Melbourne Comicon 2012

Superheroes and villains swarmed to Melbourne on June 30 and July 1st for the Melbourne Comicon, and had a Hero-gasm of epic proportions (apologies to The Boys).  Costumes were everywhere, and the theme for the day was waiting in queues.  Stan Lee was the major comic-related drawcard for the weekend, and Patrick Stewart was there to placate the Trekkies.  The following pictures were taken on the Saturday, as I spent Sunday walking around in my own costume.  Unsurprisingly, superhero costumes have no space available for things like wallets, cameras, keys, etc.  Quite liberating really, but also good for missing out on taking photos of costumes from day 2, including a fantastic female Loki.  Enjoy the show.

The Fighting 501st, Terror Australis division, were out in 'force'

 (groan), posing in front of their giant blister-pack.
