This year, the New York Comic Con was one of the biggest ones yet and the cosplay reflected that. Especially with all the Harleys and Deadpools.
Cosplay is a very important part of the Comic Con experience. Many plan throughout the entire year what they’re going to wear when the time comes. And most of the time, that’s reflected accordingly.
This year’s New York Comic Con was other worldly. From a parade of Deadpools doing a conga line to a Harley Quinn every time you turned the corner, it was a little easier to stand out.
The thing is though, everyone brought their A game. Even some of the Harley Quinn’s made it onto our list for how ingenious their ideas were.
Part of the Comic Con problem is not understanding someone’s cosplay. They get so into mash-ups and working to make theirs as original as possible that sometimes, you just don’t know what you’re looking at. Luckily enough, everyone is super into telling you who they are and why they chose it.
It’s a wonderful place with nerds of young and old exploring the worlds they love and cosplaying as characters they idolize. And so, we’ve decided to honor them by doing a top 10 cosplays from New York Comic Con.
