Wow, was that informative for me! I feel like I just made a comics guide. I hope some others who aren't always super "up" on pop culture appreciate my efforts! For those of you "in the know," let me know if anything is wrong with any of the links.
Final note about costumes, there were multiples of many. What did I see the most of? Definitely Captain America, Batman, and duos of Poison Ivy and Catwoman (which were really cool because they were all obviously those characters but were all different).
So, I thought I'd list my favorite things I saw and include some links to some nifty stuff to check out. Unfortunately, I did not get all of the info for all of the cool things I saw. My only defense? It was crowded and overwhelming!

- A large number of booths had those plastic beads you made designs with as a child and baked in the oven to use as sun catchers. They were in the shape of characters, mostly Pac-Man, but I felt like I could just as easily make my own! To know what I mean, here's a kit that explains the type of bead we're talking about.
