Every year, Comic Con draws almost 150,000 people to San Diego in the world's most famous celebration of geekdom. The hordes come not just trailer debuts and juicy tidbits about forthcoming movies, also to show off their fandom with some amazing, mostly-D.I.Y. costumes of their favorite characters. The more home-made, the more we applaud you.
While nobody at this year's Comic Con will top Congressman John Lewis cosplaying at his younger self, several people tried their best and put on quite a show. Here's the best from this year's Comic Con.
