2015 might very well go down as the year that Cosplay overtook fan culture. Much has been written about the pros, cons and challenges of this sub-culture within the larger fan universe. Its rise has been well-documented here at The Con Guy and elsewhere. A perfect storm of cultural shifts has produced this moment: a proliferation of super-hero films; the increasing popularity of TV and publishing fandoms; the near universal availability and influence of social media; and the return of giant franchise films like Star Wars and Jurassic World—it all adds up to THIS moment. That said, we’ve been covering Cosplay since The Con Guy’s launch at San Diego Comic Con 2015, and here’s our round-up of the year’s best cosplay from some of the most popular events!
