New York Comic Con is here, and, with it being such a massive event, you knew the cosplayers were going to be out in full force. Which is exactly what happened as the convention kicked off for its latest iteration at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
People wearing costumes from all your favorite films, TV shows, comics, games, anime, and more were all over the convention center, and io9 was there to capture as much of it as possible. Check out just some of our favorite cosplayers from day one of New York Comic Con 2025 and check back later this week for even more.
Thanks to Adriano Contreras for all the photos.
