C2E2 Cosplay! Cosplayers go all out! X-Men! Avengers! Batman! Game of Thrones! And so, so much more!

It’s a wrap on another fun-filled weekend at C2E2! Sponsored by Wikia, this year’s edition included the inaugural Crown Champions of Cosplay which featured an HUGE prize purse. What kind of cosplay does a prize purse worth $10,000 attract? Some really amazing fun!

Where there are comics, there are heroes!

This year, a lot of cosplayers went old-school with a lot of classic X-Men:

Rogue was quite popular this year…

…as was Gambit. Check out the glowing ace he has in his hand!

(Love this Logan with a Wolverine mini-me!)

Good thing we had so many X-Men since the sentinels were about…

The Avengers also represented!

S.H.I.E.L.D. also made an appearance led by an absolutely bad-ass Nick Fury

The Thing spent some time clobbering…

…while some of the Guardians of the Galaxy stopped by before the movie comes out this summer!

And what’s Marvel without a cameo by Stan Lee?

From the DC world, we have the lovely Yaya Han as Batgirl…

…and a whole lot of looks for Wonder Woman!

She also signed autographs for young fans — she is technically a princess after all!

Otherwise, the DC villains out numbered the DC heroes!

And, well, you can’t have cosplay without Star Wars!

The biggest groups had to be for Game of Thrones – the show has some 30 characters and we got most of them here this weekend! (Check out Tyrion!)

Note that the Lannisters always pay their debts (even if they have to stop at the ATM)…

Folks from the shire to Mount Doom visited from Middle Earth!

We also had a great variety of cult characters:

From the world of animation, we had princess, warriors, a sorceress…and an old (?) man!

Let the wild rumpus start!! A simply adorable Max from Where The Wild Things Are!

One theme I was happy to see — a look to 80’s!

So much fun here at C2E2! A big shout out to the organizers for putting in wider aisles so people could take pictures of great costumes and not stop traffic! There are also some great spaces with natural daylight so everyone could look great!

Whew! I have go crash now, but I’ll share more tales on C2E2 2014 soon!
