Rogue of the Week: Comic Con Folks in Costume

Whew! Comic Con is over and I still feel the excitement and pressure from being a part of this massive experience. It was so insane that it makes a hangover look like a good time! And just like a hangover, you feel kinda, sorta awesome getting there!

But the beauty of the Con is the absolute enthusiasm folks have for the comics, the movies, the TV shows, everything that is a part of our culture. For some it becomes almost a religious experience. I still have my Buffy the Vampire Slayer shrine. All hail to Priestess Buffy! (I guess this is why those freaks were picketing this year.)

So here we are, in the middle of the week and it finally came to me. Who is more Rogue than those of you who get out the costume, put on the make-up and get yourself photographed by strangers? Who has more kahunas than these people? Nobody baby, nobody!

So to all the Princess Leia’s in the bikini slave girl costume… to all the dudes walking around looking a bit like Spartacus… and of course, the young ones dressed like Superman! YOU are the Rogue of the Week! Every single one of you. You make Comic Con fun and you make sure that we all have some awesome memories when we finally find ourselves back in the real world.

Next year, I’m going as some random John Belushi character. Any suggestions?
