Whether they’re authentic imitations or wacky unions of characters from favourite comic book series, these cosplay outfits (from variousย San Diego Comic Cons) are wicked genius.

This year’s SDCC will take place from 9 to 12 July, and like the many others before will have all your favourite characters come back to life, as well as panel discussions and sneak peaks from movie and tv franchises.
