Wonder Woman and Wondering Johngy?

We have featured many great celebrities from the Motor City Comic Con over the years.  We have also featured many of the attendees in full costume.
People often ask me why I bother with these costumed attendees.  The answer is simple.  It's about fun.
These people have such a great time dressing like a certain superhero or character.  Some really get into it big time.  Many are just as big of an attraction as some of the stars.  Many spend a good part of their day there posing with other fans.
Anyone in Aquaman attire is a must-get picture for me, but I also stray to other characters, too.  Last year we saw one of the best Wonder Woman characters.  She had a great look.  She went with the realistic look, eschewing any over-the-top possibilities as I have seen others use.  Her outfit was appropriate for all ages.  I'm not a prude, but I prefer this to the sleazy look-at-me costumes I have seen some women (and worse...some men) attendees wear.
I will be looking out for more costumed greatness at this year's event.  Wouldn't it be cool if someone came as Johngy?  Okay, maybe more scary than cool...
