Walking the halls of San Diego Comic-Con for three days tends to be an adventure and a unique experience, especially thanks to the cosplay. While impressive booth displays and vendors are great, there’s nothing quite like being transported into a comic or movie thanks to the cosplayers on hand.
On top of that, with SDCC being the biggest convention in the world you know you’re getting the best cosplay in the world as well. The talent is unparalleled and ranges from the creative to the homemade to the passion project. There is just so much to love.
Check out some of our favorites below, but know it’s literally impossible to capture all the best. There are just too many cosplayers, too many days, and not enough camera battery to get it all!

We thought we were in San Diego, but I guess it’s Hoth now.

Maui’s cosplay is on point.

How patriotic, Spider-Man!

Reporting for duty Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock.

There can never be enough Star Wars cosplay.

Could this be the real Gimli?!

Captain Carter and Doctor Strange got this. Check out those yellow gloves!

The Rocketeer and Star Wars crossover we didn’t know we needed. Until now.

We aren’t sure exactly what they are, but they definitely look dressed up enough for the Hellfire Gala.

Last but not least, check out this incredible Bat-Family cosplay. From left to right: Red Hood, Robin, Nightwing, Batman, Artemis, Green Arrow.
