RathaCon 2018

Here are Abby and Elisabeth Pike, sisters and OU students from Athens. They're at RathaCon (a play on words Star Trek movie fans would understand), an annual comics, fantasy, art, game, and cosplay event held at the Athens, Ohio, Community Center.

Abby Pike has a small model of sister Elisabeth's character.

Ghostbuster Licion, 7, of Morgantown, West Virginia, right, clearly takes a dim view of fellow Ghostbuster Brandon Richards of Marietta . . .

Robot repair was undertaken as needed.

Amber Atkins of Cincinnati was a Star Wars villain transported to the Athens Community Center.

Even fearsome Star Wars villains have to eat -- in this case a potato from a long time ago and far, far away.

No, it's not Comic Book Guy waiting for the Port-O-San. It's a RathaCon attendee outside the TARDIS.

Zoe Hinton of Quarryville, Pennsylvania has mastered her skeptical glare.

Not something you see every day.
