I was surprised by the number of cosplayers at Special Edition: NYC. There just didn’t seem to be that many compared to New York Comic Con. I wonder if it’s that people felt limited in what they could cosplay as at a convention that billed itself as geared specifically to comic books, and not one as all-encompassing as NYCC. That said, those who did cosplay at SE:NYC really brought it!
This Silent Bob is a staple of the NY cosplay scene. I feel like I see him at every convention.
Catwoman vs. Harley
Gozer! I’ve never seen anyone cosplay Gozer before. This costume rocks!
Nightcrawler and Azazel! This might be the best Nightcrawler I’ve ever seen (and the only pirate Azazel).
Leatherface was following us around, and we said, “What’s that noise?” It was the hum of his chainsaw. We jumped when we turned around.
This Ultron’s eyes and mouth light up!
The Queen of Hearts
Gambit and…um? Whenever I don’t know, I always guess “anime.”
Ragdoll from Secret Six!
Avenger Captain Marvel and Young Avenger Miss America
You can’t quite see it in this photo, but Spidey’s backpack is made to look like it’s made of webs. Follow these two on Instagram: @kittenanddragon and @skywalkersgambit. Their cosplay photos are consistently great!
Star of my favorite new Marvel comic, Ms. Marvel!
