Block party, Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

A family that (cos)plays together, stays together, am I right? Revellers and participants begin to assemble at Calgary’s Olympic Plaza a few Fridays ago at the conclusion of the annual Parade of Wonders, marking the official start of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

Time for a parade

One of the premier events connected with the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo is the annual Parade of Wonders in downtown Calgary, featuring some of the big names attending the show and a gaggle of cosplayers in full costume. Also at this year’s parade, which took place last Friday, was Batman with his Batmobile and a fully kitted-out DeLorean (above) from Back to the Future — without the flux capacitor, it seems.

Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

Amid the dizzying array of dazzling costumes I came across at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on Sunday, this depiction from Star Wars is one of the standouts, in my humble opinion.

The end is nigh

Well, as with poor Mario here, the game is up for another year for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. There’ll probably be one more post with a few more photos from this year’s Expo. At any rate, I’m looking forward to another weekend of non-stop geektitude in 2015!
