NY Comic Con: Best of Cosplay gallery!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Make no mistake, New York City Comic Con is a breeding ground for all manner of shenanigans. You never know who you might run into. Hell, you’ll most likely bump into at least 100 Batmans while you’re there. That’s because comic conventions are notorious for drawing out the Cosplay crowd. Cosplayers are part of a culture that is known for its vast creativity and devotion to the art of bringing their favorite comic book, television, and film characters to life through elaborate fashions and effects.

They’re enthusiastic individuals who often times are regarded as “strange” outside of their own circle of influence. Pfft, you know what I say? Hogwash! Some Cosplayers have been known to work on their outfits for a number of years before showing it off at a media-focused, geeky happening. So let’s put our collective hands together for these dedicated, hard-working men and women – and celebrate their imaginativeness with some kick ass photos!
