These are the tip top cosplays and costumes we saw at San Diego Comicon 2022.

From the Marvel universe, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, fantasy games, and cartoons, there was everything you could imagine coming to life in downtown San Diego. Pop culture's best collection of weirdos, obsessives, and generally awesome individuals all gather in one place once a year. America's Finest City.

Now let's go see what all the fuss is about.

It's time to duel. I wonder if the hair is an actual wig or if it's simply made of paper mache?

The Cleanrot Knight From Elden Ring and a Halo Guy

The Halo guys are EVERYWHERE. Stop stealing the limelight from more original cosplayers like the Cleanrot Knight
08
THIS GIANT PORG

This one has to be a favorite. Everyone is loving Star Wars these days and what is there not to love about a 10ft tall, adorable cosplay of the universes cutest character?

Doggy Ewok

Speaking of Star Wars, someone made the CUTEST doggy costume for their canine friend. The little ewok hoods from the forest.

It's not every day you see a G.I. Joe cosplay. Only at San Diego Comicon 2022
11
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Where are the other 3? Probably off eating pizza in a sewer…

Captain Carter

There's so many characters in the Marvel universe it's hard to keep up, but this one we definitely recognize.
13
Jareth and Hoggle From Labrynth

If you haven't already, avoid this 1986 George Lucas film at all costs. Unless you want to dive into the most obscure fantasy fandom ever. Next thing you know, you're dressed as Jareth and Hoggle at Comicon 2023

X Wing Pilots

JOIN THE RESISTANCE. These Star Wars classics, ganged up and wore matching crew cosplay costumes to Comicon. Now that's awesome.

Darth Vader, but make it Hello Kitty

I'm not gonna lie, this is pretty rad. Who knows what possessed these people to make such obscure and intricate costumes that make no sense, but power to them.
