Comic-Con 2015 cosplay gallery

Cosplay is a labor of love. Fueled by nothing but a desire to express their passion for their favorite franchise (and plenty of caffeinated drinks), cosplayers struggle through hours of stitching, sculpting, draping, and desperate hot-gluing to perfectly recreate their favorite character's ensemble. And it's at places like Comic-Con where they can finally show off the result of all that hard work, and receive their hard-earned kudos. We at 12DOVE know they deserve every compliment and astounded expression they get, and want to celebrate the best of the best at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. You'll find our favorites in the gallery above, so feel free to peruse (we recommend using your arrow keys) and be amazed.
