Well, another year, another trip to the Baltimore Comic-Con. This year, I didn’t make it until Sunday, even though this was the first year it was expanded to a 3-day show. This meant that I missed all the Friday and Saturday excitement, but that was fine with me. I actually expected the con to be a ghost town on Sunday, seeing as how it was the opening home game for the Baltimore Ravens. While the game contributed to traffic woes, it didn’t seem to affect the size of the con crowd, as the show was pretty crowded, but not overly so. If I’m doing m math correctly, this was my 10th year at the show, and the 15th anniversary of it overall. With that in mind, I’ve basically done all there is to do at the show. I’ve seen most of the creators (the guest list doesn’t change much from year to year), and I wasn’t really in a buying mood. So, I went to spend the day with my friends Jay, Emily, and Keith, and I took some pics as we walked around.
Poison Ivy and Emily
Cap and The Winter Soldier
Green Arrow #1
Falcon, with Working Mechanical Wings
I bought the DC poster about 4 years ago, and still haven’t figured out anywhere to hang it.
Jerry “The King” Lawler. He wanted $20 for a pic, so I had to take this one on the sly. He looks like Burt Ward if he’d stayed in shape.
Really cool Bat Mite puppet
This guy was painting Groot on glass, via a lightbox.
Yes, Superman is wearing heels. And yes, he was being led around by a leash. Emily’s doing the honors in this pic.
Hunter S. Thompson
Armored Wonder Woman #1
Dark Phoenix, getting checked out by Crossbones
I have no clue who these kids are, but I figure they’re from some YA property, right? Anyway, Link’s in the middle.
Green Arrow #2
Comic Fashions #1
Comic Fashions #2
The Merc With The Mouth!
These are basically leaked cell phone pics from DC heroines. What, too soon?
This was a really cool print that I probably should’ve bought, but it was easier (read: cheaper) to take a pic of it
Batwoman, as seen on the DC Bombshells variant
Cute Dazzler art
The owner of this booth gave me permission to laugh because she was Asian.
Friends of Humanity cosplay
Dazzler
Robin & Hawkeye
Lantern Spectrum. Red Lantern’s a coworker from my TRU days
Black Canary & Green Arrow #3
Silk Spectre & Nite Owl
Apparently, this book was sold in Urban Outfitters, which isn’t the least bit surprising.
Armored Wonder Woman #2
Zatanna
Tony Stark. You can’t tell in the pic, but his arc reactor lit up.
Mad Hatter & Queen of Hearts
Harley #1, Harley #2, and Riddler
LARPing Mario & Luigi
Thing
Wasp & Ant-Man
Harley #3 and the orange girl was covered in gold glitter
Joker & Harley #4
Crossplay Star-Lord, with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in background
Mr. Fantastic & Human Torch. Theoretically, I guess you could say Invisible Woman’s there somewhere.
Either Batman’s texting Alfred, or he’s on Tinder.
Lydia & Beetlejuice
Dalek at the exit
In the end, it wasn’t the best Baltimore Comic-Con experience, but it was far from the worst. I didn’t really add much to my collection, but it was a fun day with friends and sights. Tune in next week, as I’m heading to Wizard World Richmond to meet original Green Ranger, Jason David Frank. There’s sure to be a few stories from that trip!

One of these days, I’ll find it in me to drive the hour and get to BCC, but until then, I have your recaps. That Batman True Detective print is excellent!
Nice pics! The ones you thought were from some YA thing? They were dressed from the anime Attack On Titan. I would consider it one of the goriest.. That Guy Gardner was pretty good too.
Not bad. I like the Green Arrow #2, Star Lord and Dazzler (because I’ve never seen someone do the outfit in actual roller skates). That’s a long trip to see an old Power Ranger next week. Hope it is fun!
Cosplay Lydia and Beetlejuice from the Beetlejuice animated series? Not bad, hitting pretty high on the obscure/forgotten spinoff meter in my opinion.
@Brian – you should definitely make the trip, as it’s probably one of the last, pure comic cons left. No real Hollywood presence (except for David Prowse and MST3K’s Joel this year), and lots of great cosplay.
@Lamar – Thanks for clearing up the Attack on Titan thing. I thought it might’ve been Hunger Games or something.
@Chris – yeah, Dazzler was pretty skilled on those skates, too. Very impressive. Richmond is a long way to go for a Power Ranger, but it’s the greatest Ranger of all time! I feel like I HAVE to do it!
@Zac – you’re right about it being obscure, especially since it’s not an anniversary year, but they still looked great.
