Wizard World Comic Con Richmond came and went this weekend and cosplay took center stage as most of the promised celebrities bailed:

Sean Astin, Billy Dee Williams & Stardust canceled due to personal reasons. Drea De Matteo, Joey Lauren Adams, Taryn Manning, & Henry Winkler cancelled due to filming. Billy Martin canceled due to a scheduling conflict. – via WWCCRVA Website.

So we were left with Star Trek‘s William Shatner, Dr. Who‘s Billie Piper, Jason David Frank, the original Green Power Ranger, WWE Superstar Paige, and a couple other people that stacked up to “a good enough reason for me to leave the house.”
