This year’s New York Comic Con (NYCC) may have come to a close, but we cannot stop thinking (and talking) about the cosplay at this celebration of all things pop culture. Cosplayers dedicate themselves to dressing as their favorite characters, often as close to the original look as possible (or with creative twists), and this year’s cosplayers certainly dressed to impress. We searched all over all four days of the con to find our favorite cosplays to share with you!
From outer space to your favorite fantasy video game world, these cosplayers were bringing their very best. There are mashups of different franchises, some old favorites, and a ton of great inspiration for your next con visit. Keep scrolling to see our faves!

The zombies from The Last of Us — inspired by real-life Cordyceps fungus that infects and “zombifies” insects, — have always spooked us, and this cosplay is no exception!

WOW players will double-take when faced with the Forsaken military at a convention.

The many Deadpool cosplayers probably had a blast once they realized there was a Cable at the convention. Hopefully, no fights ensued!

With the crafted hands adding the perfect touch, this Doctor Strange is definitely prepared for some multiverse shenanigans.

In a getup that would impress Tony Stark himself, this cosplayer has brought to the convention one of Iron Man‘s many cool suits.

Perhaps inspired by Boba Fett’s capture by the Tusken Raiders, this cosplay mashes together the raider and Mandalorian looks.
@michellefoard | Proxima Midnight from Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos‘ kids are definitely great at causing trouble, and this cosplayer is capturing a villain’s smirk. This cosplay was put together with foam armor but it looks like the real deal!
