Number 10

The Irving Convention Center was taken over by aliens, intergalactic heroes and nightmare-invading villains last weekend for Comic Con Fan Days. Cult superstars Stan Lee, Bruce Campbell and the man behind the sweaters and night terrors, Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) drew in the metroplex's most dedicated and costumed nerds. It was the most theatrical outfitting we've seen at convention in a while, so we picked out our ten favorites for you. Here's the best, and if that's not enough to satisfy the assumed identity region in your brain chip, you can view the entire photographic ode to Comic Con on our slideshow.
