Photos & Videos of SDCC Cosplayers

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 is underway. Fans of cult, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and comics have converged in San Diego. We're keeping a running photo roundup of cosplay: all those fans who dress up as their favorite characters. Check back often, as this story will get plenty of updates.

Be honest: when you search for Comic-Con pictures, you're really searching for cosplay pictures, and that's cool-- it's one of the reasons they do it: it's (almost) as much fun for spectators as it is for the participants. Cosplay can be funny, sexy, interpretive, hyper-realistic, or any combination thereof. Cosplay ideas come from all aspects of sci-fi/fantasy/anime/gaming fandom, and are not limited to comics.

Cosplayers to Look for at San Diego Comic-Con 2011:

Power Girl
Spider-Man
Captain America
Stormtroopers
Characters from Bleach
Darth Vader, Boba Fett
Mario & Luigi
The Doctor and his companions from Doctor Who
Bayonetta
Pikachu (you'll be amazed at the variations on this one)
Ghostbusters
Wonder Woman
Generalized steampunk
Batman, The Joker, Harley Quinn

Hmm... who are we forgetting... oh, right. Slave Leia.

How Many Slave Leias?

Is anybody walking around with one of those doorman clickers to do a definitive Slave Leia count? Our jelly-bean-jar guess is 472. 472 Slave Leias at SDCC 2011.

You are welcome to add your own SDCC cosplay photos to the gallery below: we're looking for pics from pros and participants alike. This gallery will be updated throughout SDCC 2011. If you're attending, make sure to play Comic-Con Bingo.
