Comic Book Guy in Australia dressed as Spiderman foiled an attempted robbery in a comic book shop.

Michael Baulderstone, dressed as Spiderman for a promotion event, spotted an X-Men fan trying to steal a Au$160 (£97) comic book (X-Men Omnibus) by putting in his bag without paying and confronted him. There was a bit of a scuffle as the thief tried to head for the exit, a group of Jedi Knights blocked the exits however and the thief was apprehended.

Flash did nothing, he just looked on, he was too slow :roll:

I imagine they broke out in a dusty brawl with lots of "pow!" and "bam!" flying around.

This is why Marvel > DC, even their cosplayers are cooler.
