Comic Con-Artist

On Halloweekend I ventured over to my first ever Central Canada Comic Con.
I was super nervous because I feel like a poser, having recently began my foray into all things comic/graphic novel/etc. I read Alan Moore's "Watchmen" last summer and it changed my life.

So I worked on an Altair (from Assassins Creed) costume for a month, popped it on and went to the Convention Centre on Saturday the 29th and was blown away.

Here's a collection of photos from my day.

The sickest Ghostbuster outfit I've ever seen. It had blinky lights!

He could actually transform and had working lights. Fun, if you're down to lie face down on the floor.

All in all it was a super dooper fun time, I totally nerded out but it was great and inspiring. I recommend anyone going next year if not only for the visual feast.

  2. Loved the costume, Court. Also, I would have to say that the pixelated character was pretty wicked.

  3. Cool pictures. Have you read any other graphic novels or comics since The Watchmen? What'd you think of the movie? Best costume you saw at Comic Con?

  4. I didn't know you went to this until right now, some BFF you are.

    I totally would have been the Ezio to your Altair.
