The amazing Matt Sayles photographed me in my Daenerys costume at San Diego Comic-Con. It was the end of the day, my hands were sticky as hell and I was exhausted but he took some fantastic shots.
May I present, Darkseid and the Female Furies! Photography by @Ghinto (Ljinto).
This was the huge cosplay group I put together for San Diego Comic-Con this year. I couldn’t be more proud. From left to right: Gilotina, Artemiz, Knockout, Darkseid, Mad Harriet, Granny Goodness (top), Big Barda, Lashina (me!) and Bloody Mary.
After the “Psychology of the Dark Knight” panel (subtitled, “How Trauma Shaped Batman and Why He Likes Bad Girls”), I met panelist Jill Pantozzi, journalist and blogger. She was dressed as Lashina of the Female Furies! Follow her on twitter @thenerdybird and read her blog: thenerdybird.com
Here is a bunch of fake nerds, oh, wait, I meant to say THE MOST AWESOME CHICKS EVER SO AWESOME THEY WILL BURN YOUR DAMN FOOL EYES OUT OF YOUR FACE IF YOU CALL THEM FAKE NERDS.
Ahem.
It might be hard to see, but they are all symbolizing a color of the Lanterns, with the great NerdyBird taking the classic green.
Anyone else imagining NerdyBird is Barbara? Because I still wish Oracle could continue that AU where she was a Green Lantern. Perfection.
Jill is only half a step away from actually BEING Barbara already, I swear.
I adore her like ice cream on a hot day. She’s lovely, kind, funny, smart, and strong as all hell despite people taking vicious shots at her for being all those things at once.
