2012 Comic-Con Cosplay; Rule 63 Edition

It's sort of become tradition around here that after every San Diego Comic-Con I put together a post full of awesome/crazy cosplayers. I have a TON of cosplay pics from this year's Comic-Con so to help keep everything fresh and a bit more digestible I'm going to break them up into special categories. The Rule 63 edition, highlights one of the internet's favorite rules, that "for every fictional character, there exists a counterpart of opposite gender."

She only has "eye" for you.

speaking of eyes, I don't remember Han's being so dreamy

Luke, I am you mother hot second cousin.

I also don't remember Black Widow's eyes being so dreamy

more after the jump!

First Look at Item 47

I don't remember if I posted about this or not but over the last couple weeks Marvel's made a big deal over it's new short film, Item 47. It's one of the special features to be included with the Avengers. It follows a couple (Lizzy Caplan and Jesse Bradford) who find an alien gun in all the carnage left behind from when those Skrull aliens (who for legal reasons couldn't be called Skrulls?) invade New York.

It's a cool idea and I hope Marvel keeps making these, it's probably the only way I'll ever see movie version of the Great Lakes Avengers.

Star Wars Call me Maybe

I knpw, I know, the last thing anyone needs right now is another Call me Maybe cover or video. However, this version of the song made completely out of lines from Star Wars is mind bottlingly awesome. It's pretty much the only good thing to come out of the prequels next to Natalie Portman's midriff.

oh hi new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon

I'll freely admit, I miss G4. The ultra cheap Dish satellite channel package I have doesn't include G4, so not only am I missing Ninja Warrior twice a year but I miss their pretty good Comic-Con coverage. Anyway, here's the intro for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. I think it looks pretty kick ass. Hopefully my son Logan will like it too so I can get a half hour break from Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine.

..and we have a Deadpool video game

The great news from Comic-Con today is that Marvel and High Moon Studios are making a Deadpool video game and the trailer looks awesome. Deadpool goes "pew pew" and talks to the voices in his head and everything. It's pretty much everything a Deadpool fan could hope for.

Well I guess it's not everything, I mean the game could still play like Too Human or Superman 64. Whatever Kevin, the trailer looks awesome stop saying negative things, this game's gonna be awesome.

Walking Dead Season 3 Trailer? Sure why not

But I have to know, is Carl still in the house?!

San Diego Comic-Links

The 25 Most Awkward Pictures of Nerds Next to Women. I'm guessing there's going to be a lot of "hover hand" going on this weekend at Comic-Con. I've always wondered what goes through the minds of the celebrities that go to these big conventions to sign autographs and take pictures for $25 a pop. Are they just sick of all these nerds but need the cash? Are they genuinely excited about meeting fans like this? Do they reek of Axe body spray by Monday? Enquiring minds want to know!

The reigning queen of the ‘Con, Jessica Nigri. I'm not sure if I'd call Jessica Nigri the queen of the 'Con, but she is probably your most googled cosplayer. So here you are, 25 pictures of sexy cosplayer Jessica Nigri in sexy super sexy cosplay. (ca-ching!)

The Universe Replies to your thoughts on Twitter. Some uber-nerd made a Twitter account just so he could respond to tweets with the word “Universe” in them. In related news I just signed up for a twitter account, I'm following you Diora Baird.. I mean not literally following.. maybe.

The Six Supervillains of Nerd Culture. Along with all the hover hand, I'm sure you'll see plenty of these Nerd Supervillains at Comic-Con. I'm looking your way Andy Liu!

Oz the Great and Powerful, the trailer

Here's the first trailer for Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful, a title that totally needs better punctuation. I'm mildly pumped for this movie. I read most of the Oz books as a kid as part of a 6th grade reading drive thingy and I absolutely LOVED them. So part of me is really excited that Disney is making more Wizard of Oz movies. On the other hand, this is a prequel and only kind of based on Baum's ideas. But on the Third hand, this is directed by Sam Rami..

I don't know, I guess I'll just have to wait until I actually see the movie before I judge it. What fun is that?
