Our Favorite Cosplay From C2E2 2023

The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo, better known as C2E2, was held a few weeks back and brought in nearly 100,000 attendees over its three days.

There were some cosplayers among them, of course, some excellent cosplayers, and as usual all photos and video here are provided by Mineralblu (you can check our way more of his stuff at his Facebook page). Also as usual, every photo has a watermark on it detailing the cosplayer’s social media information and the character they’re cosplaying as.

Note that, like our last cosplay gallery (from Marchs WonderCon), there’s a lot of Zelda here, despite the game still being weeks away from release. People were just that psyched!

Oh, and if it feels like we only just ran a C2E2 gallery, that’s because we did! The 2022 show took place much later in the year than usual—September vs March/April—since it was making a post-pandemic comeback. Next year’s show will run in April 2024, marking a return to a more traditional calendar.

Our Favorite Cosplay From New York Comic-Con 2022

New York was able to hold its biggest Comic-Con since 2019 last month, and fans certainly turned up for it; around 200,000 people went through the turnstiles between October 6-9 at the Javits Center, many of them cosplayers.

In this gallery you’ll find a collection of some of our favourite cosplay from the event, with highlights ranging from people wearing costumes to people wearing enormous costumes.

First, though, this video recap of the event by Mineralblu! And after that, clicking through the slideshow will be a collection of photos (also taken by Mineralblu), in which you’ll find each cosplayer’s character, series and social media information watermarked on each image.

Our Favorite Cosplay From Dragon Con 2022

I feel like I’ve spent the entire year introducing each cosplay show post the same way. Welcome back, it’s awesome that everyone was together again after a few years away, isn’t it lovely seeing fresh cosplay again, yada yada yada. But Dragon Con, Atlanta’s big show for the year, actually went down in 2021!

So instead of making a big deal about Welcoming Everyone Back, I’ll just be extending a regular welcome back. Welcome back! And adding that, after 2021’s extensive pandemic-related measures, the 2022 show was a lot looser on the rules, resulting in a huge boost in attendance, up from 42,000 people last year to around 65,000 in 2022.

Below you’ll find video and a gallery with some of our favourite cosplay from the weekend, which took place last month in Atlanta, during which there wasn’t just a convention but also Dragon Con’s trademark, a cosplay street parade.

As usual, all photos and video are by the talented Mineralblu, and you’ll find each cosplayer’s details, including their social media handles and which character they’re cosplaying, watermarked on the image.

Also, after some complaints about loading times and sluggishness from having so many huge images on the one page, I’m testing splitting the images up into a slideshow instead. Let me know how that goes though, if the annoyance of that outweighs the load time stuff, I’ll switch back next time!
