I'll be there Friday and Saturday (and maybe Sunday if I steal one of my friends' badges) but I haven't gotten a chance to look closely at the schedule yet.  I know I'll probably spend a decent chunk of Saturday stalking Tite Kubo but I've got nothing beyond that.

And dont worry about "psychopath ex's" this CON IS WAY HUGE, she would literally need to be like Joker to find in the sea of 55,000+ fanboys and girls out there.

[Shinsengumi]

I'm hoping to go next year, since I don't have any money plus I'm having friends over from out of town to my place this weekend, that's another reason why I can't go.

SD08: Marvel's fashion show - #2429
via THE BEAT by The Beat on 7/21/08

It's all about dressing up over at Marvel — not only are they holding a costume contest, but a fashion show! With superheroines.


This year, the sidewalk won't be the hottest place in San Diego– it will be in the Marvel Booth! On Friday, July 25, at 2:00, Marvel Entertainment and Disguise are proud to present their first ever fashion show. This is no cosplay; these are seriously fierce costumes worn by incredible models, strutting their stuff down the catwalk, for the debut of the sexiest line of costumes ever created and inspired by Marvel super heroes.






Dressing up as a super heroine in the past would have meant spandex and tights. No more! Disguise has tossed this old and unflattering cartoonish concept and instead made fashionable, wearable and fun costumes that not only fit great but look fabulous. These costumes are inspired by some of the hottest and most iconic heroes to grace the pages of Marvel, and this will be your first chance to see them live as they make their Comic-Con debut!

Come see Black Cat, Emma Frost, Spider-Woman, and more as you've never seen them- on the runway, as Marvel and Disguise transform Comic Con into Fashion Week, if only for an hour. The Fashion Show begins in the Marvel Booth (Booth #2429) Friday at 2:00 and will be followed by a photo-op with the models. For a preview of the costumes, visit this link:

Check out the fashion and find out how you can not only stop villains, but stop everyone in their tracks at this one-of-a-kind event only at San Diego Comic Con!
