ComicCon: The Movie!

ComicCon wasn't just about mixing it with celebrities and watching movie trailers in packed rooms (though there was a lot of that). It was also about meeting Jokers, Doctors, Steampunks and crazy ass people with cages of rats on their heads.

Presenting to you... the people's ComicCon!

ComicCon: Joker's Gallery

ComicCon was crawling with cosplaying Jokers, in tribute to you know who. Here were some of my favourites...


The masked Joker, just busted out of Arkham Asylum





The Ledger Effect Joker




The weird kind of Action Figure Joker




The Too Young To Really Be Smoking Joker


Back To You... or maybe not

Kelsey Grammer was a comedy god as Dr Frasier Crane. His new show Back To You, where he plays newsreader Chuck Darling is... okay. Or it was. It's already been axed in the US.

I Want To Believe... in The X Files
