Comic-Con 2011: Top 10 Costumes

This past weekend, July 21st-24th, Comic-Con International held its annual four-day event in San Diego, California. Over the years this event has become more and more known for thousands of people showing up dressed up in various costumes (or cosplay) that resemble their favorite characters. These costumes range from simple purchased outfits to ones that required countless hours to make, to sexy outfits that leave many Comic-Con attendees doing a double take.

Instead of displaying hundreds of pictures I’ve gone through many sources and have picked out the 10 best costumes from this summer’s Comic-Con. Many of these pictures come from a massive thousand picture gallery at ComicVine, which is awesome, by the way. Check out the Comic-Con pictures below.

Over the years this event has become more and more known for thousands of people showing up dressed up in various costumes (or cosplay) that resemble their favorite characters. These costumes range from simple purchased outfits to ones that required countless hours to make, to sexy outfits that leave many Comic-Con attendees doing a double take.

However instead of displaying hundreds of them I’ve gone through many sources and have grouped together some of the best from this summer’s Comic-Con.
