Emerald City Comicon 2012: Saturday & Sunday
Seattle’s Emerald City Comicon has drawn to a close for another year. All the major guests and numerous cosplayers came out to play on Saturday and Sunday, ensuring that this year’s event would go out with a bang. Over the final two days of ECCC 2012, I snapped over 500 photographs while touring the convention center. Here’s a quick look at some highlights from the show:
Spider Sense… tingling!
Cloak and Dagger as seen in their unfortunately brief stint with the X-Men.

Oh no! The Joker has been released from the pound!
Citizens of Gotham will be glad to know that Batman’s already on the case.
The beautiful Emma Frost didn’t need to use her telepathy to control the minds of ECCC’s fanboys.

The Portico Dance Company’s Orion slave girl dancers, who were set to battle a trio of Twi’leks in a fierce competition for sci fi supremacy.
Little Optimus Prime is just as courageous as the full-sized Autobot.
Adam Baldwin’s known for frequently canceling his Dragon*Con appearances, but he made it to ECCC just fine.

Never fear, young Link is here!

Xorn from X-Men was a welcome sight, and definitely one of my favorite costumes. I wonder if he was Magneto underneath the helmet, or whatever Marvel ended up retconning Xorn to be.
Another cosplayer that brought a smile to my face was the most famous member of the Geth, Legion. I unfortunately forgot to ask him his opinion on Mass Effect 3!
