Some are sexy (we know you've heard about those), some are elaborate, and some are just plain goofy. But we love them all! Here are some of our favorites from recent years.

If nothing else, having this Halo Warrior hang around your booth ought to discourage shoplifting.

Sometimes the Comic-Con costumes that are the most fun aren't the most accurate, as with this goofy frozen Han Solo

Now that the big-screen Thor movie is closer to release, expect to see even more Thunder Gods in attendance in 2010.



We wonder what Wonder Woman (seen here with Supergirl) thinks of the WW costume redesign? If you see her there this year, you'll ask her for us, won't you?



Sometimes the best part of the endless Comic-Con costume parade is when superheroes rumble, as with Wonder Woman and Superman



Power Girl is a fan favorite—and not just because she's Superman's cousin.



Looks like Ryan Reynolds has himself some competition for the role of Green Lantern!



Even though Conan's the one currently getting a big-screen remake, you shouldn't forget about Red Sonja. The fans don't!

Storm and Cyclops remind us that prequel or not, the X-Men are always first class.
