Doctors and Daleks and Davros, oh, my!
Previously on Midlife Crisis Crossover:
For years we’ve been telling friends in other states that we’d one day do Atlanta’s Dragon Con, one of the largest conventions in America that isn’t in California or New York. We’ve been in Atlanta, but we hadn’t really done Atlanta. Hence this year’s vacation, in which we’re aiming for a double proficiency in Atlanta tourism and over-the-top Dragon Con goodness…
…such as that Saturday morning parade through downtown Atlanta. In this installment we throw in a smattering of Doctor Who and then another roundup of random characters from science fiction and here and there and everywhere. Same cautions apply as last time: we’re pros, not fans; corrections are very welcome if we misname anyone; we do take requests, but can’t guarantee we photographed every parade participant; enjoy!
Whovians taking it to the streets from the Prydon Academy, a Who cosplay clan.

Here comes the Man in Black, galaxy defender.
Meanwhile on Earth: Amazons!
And then Amazons also!

A few more Spartans, slowing adding up to the correct number.
Cosplay of Gilead on behalf of The Handmaid’s Tale.

Sample dragon, because Dragon Con. Back and to the left is D*C co-founder Pat Henry, riding with his family.
Monsters repping for Netherworld Haunted House, a local Halloween staple out in nearby Stone Mountain.
Also good for Halloween: Ghostbusters with their own flying ghost.
I imagine Rick & Morty fans will super-love this very special Ghostbuster. I don’t watch the show, but I just looked up his name and now I regret everything.
