This is the one weekend a year that the biggest geeks in New York could spend a Saturday night with the likes of sexy actress Eva Mendes.

Mendes is among the celebrities headlining New York Comic-Con, the rapidly growing sci-fi and comics convention that is drawing tens of thousands of rabid fans to the Javits Center - many dressed for the part in spandex, capes and cowls.

“I consider myself a freak, so I’m right at home,” said Mendes, who with comics legend-turned-director Frank Miller, is promoting her upcoming movie, “The Spirit.”

“Halloween is my favorite time of the year, so Comic-Con is right up my alley.”
