NY Comic Con’s Most Mind-Blowing Cosplays in Pictures and Videos

Last week saw the East Coast’s largest pop culture convention right here in New York City. Where better to hold a Comic-Con than Gotham? Last year the Con attracted over 185,000 fans,(channeling our inner Ron Burgandy) It’s kind of a big deal.

Basically, if you don’t know about NYCC, it’s geek-Christmas. With Halloween just around the corner, and in an attempt to stem the inevitable flow of thousands of Harley Quinns and Pennywises (yeah, there were a LOT of them this year) around the city, let’s take a moment to soak up some of the mind-blowing cosplay ideas at this year’s Con. Enjoy:

An adorable Optimus Prime complete with transformation!

…not exactly a “home-made” costume, but badass none the less. Did you see the Mermaid?
