Seen At Minneapolis Comic Con 2015

For the second year in a row now, Game Informer's home city of Minneapolis has had its very own Comic Con. I walked the show floor and grabbed as many photos as I could, enjoy!

Well, this convention took place in Minnesota so there is the obligatory Paul Bunyon appearance. My Babe the Blue Ox-King joke was met with a blank stare.

These kind gentlemen were roaming the show, on the hunt for Konami executives.

When the curse is lifted in Disney's new live-action version of Beauty and the Beast, the servants turn into hellish Brundlefly-esque fusions of man and object.

These Cloud Strifes reenacted their favorite over-used animation from Final Fantasy 7: the ambivalent shrug.

These fine gentlemen were on their way to a business lounge to endlessly giggle about Disney's lucrative future.

Even though they were running solo, this person nailed it.

After years of repeated X-Ray attacks, Reptile's spine is in terrible shape these days.

He flew, fought, crowed, and was joined by this cosplayer who apparently is a huge fan of Ingmar Bergman's 1966 film Persona.

It was tough to sneak a good picture of this cosplayer due to the frenzied horde of Legend of Dragoon fans at the show. Really though, this guy's costume is the best.

Pizzio.

I felt a great tingle in the Force, as if millions of voices...

Jump to the second page to see some celebrity cameos and even more gaming cosplay from Minneapolis Comic Con!

They held a tournament for Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U and I learned that some people use Yoshi and Sonic as their mains.

The folks behind Ghostbustin' 911 were showing off their amazing equipment, which is almost as impressive as the time they actually got ERnie Hudson's character Winston to appear in their show.

I didn't know Dan Ryckert was going to be in town.

Most intergalactic conflicts can be settled with an adorable selfie.

Just when you thought one was enough... introducing The Dredds, coming this fall to NBC. "What? Your mother's coming to stay with us again!?!"

Well these two characters seem pre-destined for a relaxing and stress-free life of marital bliss.

Not even this kid's father could explain why he chose to dress up like Groundskeeper Willy, but we aren't complaining.

These half-dressed Power Rangers used Piccolo to blow up Rita Repulsa's base on the moon, he's pretty good at hitting that thing.

Here are some folks from Steven Universe, you can hear me compliment that show's new iOS RPG on a recent episode of the new Game Informer Show!

Look, we're all sick of this Marvel crap, but look how awesome that kid on the left's Proto Man costume is!

Game Informer's Wade Wojcik was on patrol during the show. Or maybe this is all part of that mystery podcast or whatever the hell 343 is trying to get people to care about.

Pro parenting tip: you will scare the crap out of your kids if you dress up as No-Face from Spirited Away.

Thankfully we caught this shot of the Joker before he made it over to the tattoo booth.

Weta had to divide Azog the Orc into three parts to get him inside the convention hall. Reports say that a majority of the movers lost interest after hauling in the first two parts because it took too long and there was too much dumb singing involved. 

I ran into another Double Fine fan at the show and we had a cathartic vent-session about dumb knot puzzles.

The voice of Hercules from God of War was signing autographs, he was also on some show or something.

I was amazed that Jason Mewes consistently had the longest line in the celebrity row, I guess there are more Noobz fans out there than I thought.

Well that's the show, I hope you enjoyed this brief look at what it's like inside Minneapolis Comic Con!
