Fan Expo Dallas took place over the weekend at Dallas' Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, and this year's guests included hobbits Sean Astin and Billy Boyd, internet-favorite figures such as Brendan Fraser and controversial ones such as Gina Carano. Sure, there were celebrities, artists and lots of swag, but for us, the best part of the weekend was seeing fans dressed as their favorite characters. Here's to you, fantasy fans. Here are photographer Mike Brooks' top 25 looks from Saturday, June 18.
