Comic-Con International wrapped yesterday, and since Hollywood keeps making blockbuster movies based on comics, and sequels based on those comics, and getting A-list stars to star in said movies, the fashion at Comic-Con has gotten pretty good.

Comic-Con has been around since the ’70s as a comic book and sci-fi convention for die hard fans. So there has always amazing fashion at Comic-Con–albeit more in the capes and Princess Leia buns vein.
