Comic-Con 2020 Cosplay: The Best Avengers, DC, It, Power Rangers Cosplay From Last Year
While there are still plenty of panels and events taking place at Comic Con this year, there's no denying that having a virtual event is very different from the usual weekend. One huge part of each year's SDCC is cosplay. But while we won't see any new amazing costumes this year, there's still plenty from previous years we can look back upon.
Given SDCC is a celebration of such a wide range of things, the type of cosplay you usually see runs the gamut. There's characters from Marvel, DC, Power Rangers, Lord of the Rings, It, and countless other franchises, both well known and obscurer. Below, we've rounded up many of the best cosplay photos we took from the first day at last year's convention, including those starring Pennywise, Catwoman, Spider-Man, Captain America, and a variety of others.
Stay tuned to GameSpot this weekend for all the 2020 Comic-Con at Home coverage you can handle, including guides on exactly how to watch the most exciting panels, this year's exclusive Comic-Con Funko Pops, coverage of the biggest movies--like New Mutants and Bill and Ted Face the Music--and more.
