For those who have never been to a Comic Con, it can be a bit like a mix of a circus and Halloween. Nearly every attendee dresses in costume, many of them elaborate and creative, and there is a huge room of vendors offering everything from on-site tattooing and rare comic books to artistic weaponry and comic book art. Throughout the day, there are also panels with celebrities, many of whom are of sci-fi TV shows or movies. This year's Portland Comic Con featured the talents of Michael Rooker, Eliza Dushku, Alan Tudyk, Karl Urban, Stephen Amell, Tyler Posey, WWE's Daniel Bryan and The Bella Twins, blast from the past Jason David Frank (go go Power Rangers!), and many more. Check out some photos from the event below, as well as a short video interview with Giancarlo Esposito.
