Gallery: Friday Cosplay at C2E2 2024

People love to complain. This year, the main complaint about C2E2 was its lineup. And whether or not it's to your liking, our opinion is there's always something interesting to see (more on that later, with panel catchups for everything from Brandon Sanderson to Kevin Smith and the whole One Piece cast)

What no one SHOULD be complaining about is the level of cosplay at this con. Now in its 15th year, C2E2 has always managed to attract high level cosplayers, and it's not just the ones who compete in Saturday night's international championships.

We've been blessed with a great place to show off our costumes in McCormick Place, and even as the con just began on Friday we saw that this year is gonna be fire.

Photographers Aaron Cynic, Julian Ramirez, Marielle Bokor and Pearl Shin captured these shots of all the amazing cosplay out on the floor to explore Friday, and we'll be sure to bring you even more as the con continues!
