It’s been many years since
we’ve had the chance to buy tickets to San Diego’s annual Comic-Con, so I’ve had to rely on
other venues to release my inner “geek.” Stan Lee’s Comikaze convention is underway in downtown L.A. this weekend. We decided to go late yesterday afternoon.
Though there were lots of
interesting panels on all manner of topics related to comicbooks and
science fiction, we went just to soak-up the atmosphere and see the costumes.
Thankfully, the crowds were much smaller—a couple thousand (maybe) compared to
125,000 at Comic-Con—but the cosplay was just as good. We especially loved
folks dressed like characters from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy—we are Groot!—and, of course, several Maleficents, one
of whom won 2nd place at the big Comikaze costume contest, which we
stayed to see. It was exhausting—we may have been the oldest people there—but
very fun! I’m already planning ahead to next year . . .
