Boston Comic Con 2015:

A Vigilant Recap

        

             Hello again my faithful band of geeks, nerds, fanboys and girls and graphic novel gurus! I am excited to welcome you all back for another edition of THE VIGILANT GEEK. This week, I will take you on an invigorating journey which will recap anything and everything that was BOSTON COMIC CON 2015!!

As my band of evil comic book geniuses and I entered the pearly white gates of Boston's Seaport World Trade Center, it was almost impossible to keep my bladder at bay, let alone contain my excitement! Well, exploding bladders aside, upon entering the con, we were overwhelmed by a wide array of amazing cosplayers, art exhibits, comic book creators and numerous other festivities. The annual cosplay contest was the best yet this year, and as always, was hosted by the stunning Ivy Doom Kitty.

Ivy Doom Kitty as "Power Girl"

Classic Ivy as Doctor Doom

Classic Ivy as Ms. Marvel (and what "marvelous" features she has!)

Classic Ivy as Wonder Woman (and no I don't have a thing for her.. I'm just a journalist doing my job! ;) )

It has been said that Ms. Doom Kitty moonlights as a belly dancer! Oooh la la!

*** Moving right along, here are some of the best cosplays I came across this year at the con:

I just freaking adore Harley Quinn... and there were so many Harleys at the con this year, my head was on a swivel!

This female Thor was so impressive, I'd bet my wallet she could give Ronda Rousey a run for her money!

Mr. T and his band of Robins!!

There was a whole big batch of Deadpools this year as well!

Lookey here!! Another Harley!! I should have kept a tally of Harleys and Deadpools...

A lovely Domino!

COSPLAY KIDS ASSEMBLE!!!

** As my team of evil comic book geniuses and I bobbed, weaved and slalomed our way around the cosplay-related obstructions, we were off to the races as we embarked on a scavenger hunt for mainstream writer/artist meet/greets and signatures!!
