I'm back from a fun-packed weekend in Chicago, where the Marvel crew and yours trully attended the second annual Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. It was a craze-packed weekend with tons of Marvel Comics news, panels, some Chris Hemsworth and, of course, cosplay & costuming.
Per the norm, we had both a Cosplay Photo Op and Costume Contest at the Marvel booth, which attracted a good group of costumes from the cute baby Iron Man to the in-character Kingpin. I also had the chance to wander the convention floor and grab shots of Marvel costumes throughout the weekend.
We had over 30 costumers enter our Costume Contest, and for the judges, Jo Milan, C.B. Cebulski and Frank Tieri, it was certainly a difficult choice to choose the winners!
First place went to Kingpin, 2nd to Daken, 3rd to Jean Grey and an honorary prize to the Age of X Dazzler.

This weekend I also had the opportunity to meet and grab some photos of the talented Kearstin Nicolson of 1womanshow.com and her FOUR costumes (Rogue, Jean Grey, Scarlet Witch & She-Hulk) throughtout the weekend. She was also joined by several cosplayers, including Mike Prost, for each of the Marvel groups.

We would want to thank all the costumers & cosplayers who turned out the Marvel events, plus for continuing to bring Marvel characters to life!

Before I jet, I had another amazing chance to grab shots of Chris Hemsworth at his Q&A Session. A professional costumer, one could say ;)
Next weekend is Wondercon in San Francisco, and Marvel will be attending! Stay tuned for news about events, panels and more Marvel Costuming!
