This weekend marks the return of New York Comic Con, everyone's favorite costumed gathering of hobbits, Han Solos and She-Hulks. You still have plenty of time to roll over there in your finest Rogue outfit, but in the meantime, we sent photographer Jessica Lehrman there to scout out what's been going on. And we now have a new favorite game: trying to spot all the costumed people awkwardly talking on their cell phones. There'll be more photo galleries later this weekend, but click through for lots of sexy and goofy pics of everyone from Wolverine to Darth Maul to Bowser to the Ghostbusters.
UPDATE: Here are more photos from Sunday.
