"Best $2k I Ever Spent!" The Costumes Of Comic-Con 2012

Hey, everybody, who'd you hang out with this weekend? If your answer hits all the familiar standards: your buddy down the street, your significant other, the totally awesome banjo-playing hobo behind the 7-Eleven, etc, then you probably just spent a nice quiet break at home. On the other hand, if you tell us that you were hanging with Thor, Chewbacca, and Indiana Jones, you either have way better drugs than we do, or you were in San Diego for the annual madness that is Comic-Con. And while there's surely plenty of announcements and movie news to discuss, we'll cut right to our favorite part: gawking at the sometimes impressive, often elaborate, and always hilarious costumes.
