1. In God's name why?

Ah, well that's actually quite an easy one
First of all, no one bats an eyelid when someone walks down the street wearing the shirt of their favourite sporting team. Personally, sport doesn't interest me, but comic books do.

Comics can be an extremely deep form of fiction (though I confess not all the time). As such, I find myself drawn to some characters that I feel I have a connection with.

I had been to conventions before and saw a number of people having such a good time in their costumes, so I thought I would give it a try.

When you put on the costume, or at least the *right* costume, you feel a connection with the character at an even deeper level that just reading the books. Not only that, but everyone else doing it feels the same way.

At a convention, you'll meet so many awesome people, many of whom will be your friend for a good long time. Also: getting hammered after the cons with these people is a lot of fun.
