Art. Fashion. Beauty. Style.

The stars were out in force at this year's Space City Comic Con, held July 24-26 at NRG Center.  With guest appearances from some of TV's best loved sci-fi stars, it was a sight to see.  The Power Rangers were there, as well as Gil Gerard and Felix Silla from Buck Rogers, but the headliners were the main cast of Star Trek Voyager, and non other than Captain James T. Kirk himself, William Shatner!  Cosplayers were everywhere and while there were plenty of amateurs, there were some real pros in the house.  The 501st Legion were in attendance in all their Star Wars gear, and Mr. Spock as well.  Everyone will miss the beloved Leonard Nimoy, but his twin was there and he was amazing.     

Not only were there stars to see and have photos taken with, but there were also video and board games and plenty of merchandise to purchase, from comics to gaming accessories and costumes.  MechCorps was onsite and, if you have never jumped in a cockpit pod of a 70-ton Battlemech, you haven't lived!  Up to six players can duke it out in a free-for-all with lasers, missiles and machineguns.  When the pods aren't on the road at conventions, you can find them at their headquarters in Northwest Houston. Of the less than 150 pods still known to exist in the world, MechCorps' collection of 16 is one of the best around, and they're in our own backyard!
