Dig these panic-packed pics from the fabulous X-CON, a comics and pop culture convention held this year (May 20-22, 2016) in magnificent Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! Click images below to enlarge!
 |
| Above: Once again, I'm back in the Captain America cosplay outfit, promoting the local charity group, Carolina Action Figures! Here I am with another delightfully decked-out Cap, and an equally star-spangled Wonder Woman! |
 |
| Above: Have you ever seen a cuter Harley and--uhm--Joker/Spidey/Venom? |
 |
| Above: "So you say she's called 'Wonder Woman?' And she has the nerve to wear my colors?!" |
 |
| Above: Who knows how to accessorize? "The Shadow knows…." |
 |
| Above two images: Another Wonder Woman (what is this--the 4th of July?!), and her very creative table of home-made wonder-wares! |
 |
| Above two images: It's CIVIL WAR all over again! Captain America (me) is locked in mortal combat with Iron Man (Rocky Melvin), as captured by the photographing folks at Indulge Images! |
 |
| Above two images: I got scanned! Thats right, the big new thing at shows are on-site 3-D scanning services that can create your very own statue or bust! Why not? |
 |
| Above: The scanned images are sent to me for my approval! |
 |
| Above three images: It's here! The very well done (and kinda eerie) statue of yours truly has arrived! |
 |
| Above four images: The likeness is very sharp, and uncanny! They even captured my bald spot! How dare they?!? |
 |
| Above: Charity cosplayer (and all-around great guy) John Tompkins is struck silent by the sheer awe and majesty of the "Al-statue!" Can ya blame him? |
 |
| Above: ALvengers assemble! Taking my place among other legends of our day! Hey, it was either this, or next to the "Precious Moments" hummels... |
 |
| Above: Back to the convention! Day two, and it's time to break out the "Batman '66" rompers! Who needs fake muscles and body armor? Bat-wimps! That's who! |
 |
| Above: I thought I was a material-minded fan of Silver Age Marvel Comics? |
 |
| Above: The local news team came out to cover the captivatin' con, and, somehow, I ended up aligned with coverage for the on-site religious services offered! Holy communion wafer, Batman! |
 |
| Above: When's the last time you saw a "Spy vs. Spy" cosplay? |
 |
| Above two images: Trying to perfect the famed "Adam West sly smile" look. And failing. |
 |
| Above three images: Recreating the famed "Batman meets Scooby Doo" epic Saturday morning cartoon event! Sorta. |
 |
| Above: The last word on "Batman at the beach," from MAD magazine's own Sergio Aragones! |
It sure looks like you had a great time at X-CON! Your Captain America 3D statue turned out awesome! Very life like. Yea, Barbara and her team do a fantastic job at 3D-Transformations.
