My Blog Is Amazing: Comic Con: You Will Never Find a More Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

It's July! That means the end of this month is San Deigo Comic Con 2011, which is the premiere event of the year for all geek endeavors. Every July, the geeks of the world convene at Comic Con and wait in line get pandered to by good looking actors who do the bidding of men in suits.

I'd really like to go.
I'd like to go with my bestie, James Bell.

I would love to be there, as opposed to reading eye-witness, next day accounts on teh interwebs of who will be the villain in the Avengers (Skrulls and Thanos?) or how Dan Cook is trying to appeal to my age bracket or which legendary comic book artist or writer was there doing autographs or which property they are handing over to Joss Whedon in order to appease me.

But what I'm the most excited about, is that everyone is in costume

I love dressing up. I like superheroes. It is logical for me to want to be in a swarm of people dressed as superheroes, talking about superheroes. Especially when some of them ACTUALLY look like Power Girl

I am intrigued by the craftsmanship and accuracy of the costume, yet attracted to the hips and tits.

So naturally, if James and I were going to go to Comic Con one day, we would need outfits.
Now, there's no reason not to do a duo costume, right?

POSSIBLE OPTIONS:
CYCLOPS AND BEAST

It is apparent that I love the X-Men. James therefore can't not love the X-Men. James would be Cyclops, and I would be the furry one.
Now yes, we have done this before:

This time around, me may spend more than a few hours on our costumes. And if there's any girls dressed as Emma Frost or Abigail Brand, they're coming with us sideways winking face.
However, this time around I want to wear a shirt...

Now, ever since James and I passed out in the same bed on my birthday, there has been a joke that we are a gay couple. Honestly, we don't actively try to dispell these claims. This is our prom picture:

That being said, we have some solid ideas in the gay superhero couples department

APOLLO AND THE MIDNIGHTER

Apollo and the Midnighter hail from the Warren Ellis' "The Authority", a universe in which superheroes are a more respected governing force than any government itself. They may seem like the average Superman and Batman analogues, but the plot thickens once it is revealed that they are in a relationship. James has the longer hair of the two of us and I look better in black, therefore, James = Apollo, and Dom = the Midnighter. Suck it James, I get to be the Batman. No doubt we will be asked to recreate their most famous scene: the wedding...

Ok, maybe too much to soon. Maybe another couple.

WICCAN AND HULKLING

Hulkiling and Wiccan come from the Young Avengers, where a team of the Avengers biggest fans teamed up as a teenage version of their heroes. Wiccan is the Scarlet Witch's son with a robot that she wished into existence (makes sense if you read it), Hulkling is Captain Marvel's half-Kree, half-Skrull, therefore a green shape-shifting super-strong hero. Also they're dating.

Myself being the physically imnposing one of the duo gets to be Hulkling, and James would be Wiccan.

...but while searching for more photos to post, I found that most invoked rule 34. I'm comfortable, but not THAT comfortable with my sexuality. Who do I look like, Tyler Campbell?

OK, these last two options are right out; I don't want to pretend to be gay to impress people, only because that's the plot of a terrible Cuba Gooding Jr. movie

RORSCHACH AND DEADPOOL

Roschach: tWatchmen's brutal dectective superhero who has seen too much and has been pushed to a world of only black and white, evil and good.

Deadpool: Marvel's crimson comedian, regeneratin' degenerate, Merc with a Mouth; a morally grey killer who's insanity helps him realize that he is a comic book character.

They have never existed in their own series together, except for JustSomeRandomGuy's meta YouTube hit "Marvel/Dc"

Seeing as I am the self refferential one of my duo, and I am too big of a Deadpool fan not to be Deadpool, I get to be Deadpool. James can be Rorschach, where ignoring people at ComicCon will be considered "acting".

I am the weak link in this pairing, however, as Deadpool's costume is just spandex and guns.
So it could either be pulled off very well

...or whatever the Hell this is

If we decide upon Rorschach and Deapool, I have to start working out now to get into Deadpool shape, and James just needs to get a trench coat...

ANYONE FROM HALCYON

OMG DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO WE ARE DRESSED LIKE?! DID YOU NOT READ HALCYON?!?! Fortunatley for you I happen to have 9 extra copies of issue one in my bag. WHY DIDN'T YOU READ HALCYON?!?! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

And inevitbalely, we would do that for an entire weekend. Also, you should read Halcyon.

PETER AND SYLAR

I wear my black coat and slick my hair back, James rocks side bangs with a messenger back, and we quietly walk around ComicCon, pretending it's still 2008.
"That Wolverine trailer sure looks cool..."

THE AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO

Yes, I already made that joke, but I just found where I saved this photo...

BLUE BEETLE AND BOOSTER GOLD

Okay, this might actually work...
Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are superheroes from the future who travel back in time to fight crime along side Superman, Batman, and Power Girl's rack.
They just end up spending most of the time chillin

Booster is the showboat (me), Beetle's the techie (him), but they're as much about hanging out as they are fighting evil. Their most famous attribute is their trademarked belly laugh.
