Did anyone see me standing next to Catwoman in that first picture, or was my "Invisible Man" costume THAT good?

Why is this still linked from the front page? It's hard for me to understand how a page devoted to comics and supposedly live blogging from Comic-Con would not have an update in the last 24 hours.
