I’m closing out my DragonCon 2008 coverage with my favorite costume photos.\u00a0 Some have been shown here previously, but they bear repeating.\u00a0 To see all of my DragonCon photos, be sure to visit my Flickr page<\/a>.\u00a0 If you have a favorite costume that I left out, be sure to mention it in the comments.<\/p>\n

The Iron Man suits were definitely the coolest overall costumes at the con. Simply breathtaking.<\/p>\n

\"Iron<\/a><\/p>\n

Axl wins as the most subtle yet effective costume at the con. This guy was in character too!\u00a0 He made a comment that the “Chinese Democracy” album would be out really soon.\u00a0 Too funny!<\/p>\n

\"Axl<\/a><\/p>\n

This “Iron Man” was hilarious and very unexpected.\u00a0 Definitely the funniest costume at the con.<\/p>\n

Quite a few people were talking about the Convention Vixens.\u00a0 Here is “Erotic Hypnotic” from that group.\u00a0 You can find more on the ConVixens by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lego Fett was amazing!\u00a0 Very creative (and time consuming I imagine)!<\/p>\n

A very funny and creative costume if you’ve seen the movie “Hancock”.<\/p>\n

\"Hancock<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a great Doctor Who-related costume.\u00a0 It’s from the VERY creepy episode “Blink” in which statues come to life.<\/p>\n

\"Weeping<\/a><\/p>\n

An impressive Supergirl.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a><\/p>\n

Another fantastic and unexpected costume.\u00a0 The Yip Yip guy was great the way he moved his mouth!<\/p>\n

\"Yip<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw two different guys as Jack Knight’s Starman this year.\u00a0 This jacket was really cool. Well done!<\/p>\n

\"Starman<\/a><\/p>\n

Another funny costume.\u00a0 This one comes from the movie “Shrek”.<\/p>\n

\"Gingerbread<\/a><\/p>\n

Surrounding Cobra Commander with hot chicks was a stroke of brilliance!\u00a0 Hail Cobra and his Hiss Ho’s!<\/p>\n

\"Cobra<\/a><\/p>\n

A creative idea turning a nice suburban family from the 1950s into zombies.<\/p>\n

\"1950s<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a few groups of Ghostbusters this year, but these guys are friends of mine.\u00a0 They worked really hard on their proton packs and they turned out amazing!<\/p>\n

\"Ghostbusters\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sexy stewardesses<\/p>\n

\"Sexy<\/a><\/p>\n

Just because I love the TV show “Chuck” so much, the “Buy More” staff!\u00a0 Subtle costume, but smart.<\/p>\n

\"Chuck<\/a><\/p>\n

The arms on this Doctor Octopus were really impressive.<\/p>\n

\"Doctor<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole Hogwarts bad-girl thing was huge this year.\u00a0 Understandably.<\/p>\n

\"Hermione<\/a><\/p>\n

I have no idea what it’s supposed to be, but it looks friggin’ cool (and is insanely tall).<\/p>\n

\"Santa<\/a><\/p>\n

And for you fans of the Star Wars Lego game…<\/p>\n
