Our favorite New York Comic Con cosplayers already have Halloween in the bag

It’s hard to believe New York City’s Penn Station could get any weirder, but when the annual Comic Con convention descends on the west side of Manhattan, the Jacob Javits Center – and its immediate perimeter – is automatically converted into an all-out geek-fest.

This October, over 250,000 attendees showed up in force to enjoy four days of mixing, mingling and inhaling everything pop culture – including booths, panels, screenings, and of course, fan-dominated cosplay. Couldn’t make it to the festivities? From the Joker to Dragon Ball Z, we walked the show for you to find the best cosplay characters in town. Here are our favorites from the 2019 NYC Comic Con, just in time for Halloween costume season.
