C2E2 2019: The Cosplayers and Clueless Panel

Posted on by

When I entered C2E2 (early for once) on Satuday, I was greeted by a dancing Mr. Fantastic and a Swamp Thing chilling out with a John Constantine (Sadly no Alan Moore.) and knew that 2019 would be yet another great year for cosplay at this convention. The Academy Award winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse seemed to have a huge influence on this year’s cosplayers with lots of dads aka Peter B. Parkers, Miles Moraleses, Spider-Gwens, and Spider-Man Noirs walking around. Without further ado, here are some the cosplayers and cool booths from C2E2 this year.

  • C2E2 sign
  • All-Might
  • Can’t wait for Tini Howard’s Thanos
  • Nicola Scott Wonder Woman art
  • Detective Pikachu
  • Five and Klaus from Umbrella Academy
  • Swamp Daddy
  • C2E2 Show Floor
  • Red pandas are so cute.
  • K2-S0
  • AOC!
  • Detective Comics #1000
  • Superman v Batman
  • Artoo!!
  • Thor and Rocket
  • Daredevil costume for auction at the Marvel booth
  • Bravest Warriors!!
  • Luke Cage’s hoodie.
  • More Swamp Thing
  • Dr. Octopus vs. Spider-Man Noir
  • Hazel from Umbrella Academy
  • Sexy Gandalf and Saruman lol
  • Reed Richards
  • Mr. Fantastic
  • Thor and Odinson
  • Greg Capullo Art
  • Welcome to Jurassic Park
  • Exterminate!!

At C2E2, I also had the opportunity to attend the Clueless reunion panel that featured a capacity crowd and appearances by Breckin Meyer (Travis), Donald Faison (Murray), Alicia Silverstone (Cher Horowitz herself), and Paul Rudd (Josh), who made a big entrance and bragged about having all the spoilers to Avengers: Endgame. Here are some pictures from this panel. It was a showcase for Meyer’s wit and hijinks as he got down on one knee and proposed to Faison, Rudd’s enthusiasm as he geeked out about Tim and Eric and Depeche Mode, and an opportunity for Silverstone to relive how much work she put into being in almost every scene of Clueless and her appreciation for Emma, the Jane Austen novel that inspired it.
