The Cosplay of Chicago’s Newest Convention [C2E2]

Between hitting panels and charging my MacBook in the pressroom this past weekend, I couldn't help but notice that the cosplay crowd had heeded C2E2's call in full effect. Thankfully my wife and de facto C2E2 photographer was prepared to catch costumed fans as they alternated between posing and communicating in-character to straight shopping throughout the convention's three-day debut.

Take a look at sampling of the fans who took on the mantles of their favorite characters from comics, animation, video games and more during C2E2 after the jump - especially the younglings, for they are adorable.
