In lieu of a Cosplay Of The Week feature, we’ve been sharing our favorite costumes from this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, starting with a gallery earlier today. We have even more pictures of masterful and funny cosplay, because this is the time of year when we’re distracted by thousands of cosplay pictures, and some of them are even safe for work!
Check out the gallery below for our favorites from beloved franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy, Batman, X-Men, The Avengers, and… Chappelle’s Show? Special thanks to Pat Loika, V Threepio, Nathan Rupert, and Howie Muzika for many of these pictures.
