Just got back from Day Two of the New York Comic Con, or as sane people like to call it, Hell On Earth. Yesterday was great — a manageable crowd, deals on cool stuff everywhere, and lots of creators on hand to meet without having to wait in-line. Today, as has been the case the last couple of years, the crowd was $%#&ing huge, making it near impossible to walk more than a few feet without getting stuck between one guy lugging around a handtruck filled with stacked comic boxes and a mom who for some reason brought her kid in a stroller to this thing. Still though, a fun time overall. Check out lots o’ photos after the jump.

Transformer Marvels. Seriously, is this geek merger even allowed? It isn’t like crossing the streams or something?

Since it was Friday — i.e. the one day it’s possible to actually move around at this thing without wanting to strangle somebody — there weren’t too many costumes around. These two were great though. I have to say I like that these two guys aren’t in the middle of a pose. They look like real people having a good time, which they are.

The picture is wobbly and grainy, the sound is iffy, but here’s some camcorder footage of the X-Files 2 trailer that premiered at WonderCon over the past weekend. Why no just wait for the real thing to be released? Because we’re pop-culture junkies, that’s why! I remember buying bootlegs on VHS back in the day where the entire movie wasn’t much clearer than this, and we loved it! You kids today, with your “Bittorrents” and “leaked Hollywood screener DVDs” don’t know how good you got it…

Here’s a taste of the Mighty Mouse skit that tore the house down at SDCC 2000’s costume ball, prompting random chants of “Mouse Mouse Mouse!” throughout the rest of the evening. He didn’t win anything, much to the crowd’s displeasure. They actually booed the grand prize winners, following up with the biggest, loudest “MOUSE MOUSE MOUSE!” chant of the night. He was so popular the event organizers actually arranged for him to return the next year as a surprise for the crowd.

Probably the most interesting thing The Wife™ saw at MAGIC - Black Superman has graduated from weird internet meme to genuine piece of pop art. I’d totally buy a nice print of this for my office area if it turned up on sale for a reasonable price. Note the Fantastic Four-esque “4″ in his right eye adding to the bizarreness of the piece.

If anyone knows the full story behind this, I’d sure love to see it posted in the comments!
