Thousands of superheroes, space travelers, elves, fairies, trolls, and the occasional Norse god packed into the Washington State Convention Center this weekend starlordfor the sold-out Emerald City Comicon.

It’s hard to say whether big name celeb appearances like Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson, The Avengers, Agents of Shield) and Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell, Game of Thrones) or Seattle’s rapidly growing geek cohort are responsible for the crowds. But whatever the cause, the increased demand for ECCC tickets led ReedPop, which recently acquired the convention, to expand to the event to four days next year.

Costumes ranged from hyper-realistic (we saw a Starlord that looked remarkably like Washington’s own Chris Pratt) to playful and fun (check out Bender, the gender bending robot).
