A record-breaking number of Spider-Men, Wonder Women and preteen titans crammed into the Javits Center for the four-day New York Comic Con — many of them in their costumed finest.
Organizers expect the attendance to surpass 150,000 by the time the convention wraps up on Sunday.
“It’s the worst day to wear body paint in the rain,” Susan Li, 29, who was covered head-to-toe in pink as X-Men superhero Blink, said Saturday.
“But when you have some hardcore fan recognize you as your character, that makes the two hours of painting yourself worth it.”
“It allows me to be who I am inside” Cici James, 30, who owns her own sci-fi bookstore, Singularity, in Brooklyn, said of the chance to dress up in her very form-fitting costume.

The 2014 NY Comic Con happened over the weekend, bringing record crowds (many of whom dressed for the occasion) to the event — the NYC edition is finally starting to catch up to San Diego. (It’s still got a long ways to go, attendance-wise. UPDATE: actually, nevermind) We’ve got a set of pictures from NYCC in this post, but even more and larger versions are up on BV’s Facebook for those who really want to geek-out.
