Comic-con girls in costume? Maybe it's because some girls just love playing dress-up. Maybe it's the success of films like "Spider-Man"and "300." Or maybe when superheroes, geeks and comic books are all put together in one convention center, there's no way to keep the hotties away.

Who knew you'd be able to find so many ladies who are easy on the eye -- the laser eye, that is -- at New York's Comic-Con convention?
Could it be that inside every sexy woman lies the beating heart of a "Battlestar"-watching, Halo-playing, "X-Men"-reading über geek? (Ah, we wish.)

Women in costume. There's nothing better.


Babes of Comic-Con

    Protecting the ladies of Comic-Con from creepy geeks everywhere.

    Playin' with the Queen of Hearts, indeed.

    Evil -- possibly. All-over fishnet cheerleader outfit -- definitely.

    Maybe she draws comics, maybe she appears in them. Either way, she's wearing a bikini and leather gloves.

    Pretty good. But can they do the Bizarro Jerry from Seinfeld?

    Not sure which comic book she's from, and not sure if we care.

    Okay, okay, we'll leave you alone. Put down the creepy staff.

    One woman's leftover Halloween costume is another's Comic Con gold.

    We're not sure whether to be scared or turned on. Leaning towards scared.
