Every year, the mecca of geekdom known as Comic-Con attracts some of the biggest names in Hollywood. While most of them attend as a contractual obligation for the movies they're hawking, one gets the impression that some celebrities get a real kick out of the weekend festivities.
And why wouldn't they?
Comic-Con has become the holy grail for the most passionate fans of film, television, animation, and comic books in the world. It's also become the ultimate fashion show for fanboys and girls, who use the event to dress up as their favorite fictional characters. And, their enthusiasm can be contagious.
