New York Comic Con is obviously a very big deal, and as such it attracts the very best of American cosplay. You want proof? We’ve got it below in 20 photographs of the most extraordinary outfits seen wandering the convention’s floors. Erstwhile photographers Mineralblu were there for Kotaku, filming and snapping away.

From a railroad festival celebrating a century of local history to pet costume contests, family-friendly haunted trails and Halloween activities along the boardwalk, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the season.
