Thousands of comics, science fiction, fantasy, anime, and video game fans hit up Virginia Beach for Tidewater Comicon to buy comics, meet creators and celebrities like Flash Gordon‘s Sam Jones, Clerks’ Brian O’Halloran and Ghostbusters’ Ernie Hudson. There were also a plethora of cosplayers from the ever present Deadpools and Harley Quinn in her many incarnations from the classic Bruce Timm design to the Arkham games and the upcoming Suicide Squad film to more obscure characters, like Marvel’s Squirrel Girl or Belle and Moon from Ian McGinty’s independent comic Welcome to Showside. There was also a laugh out loud hilarious cosplay featuring one of the most popular superheroes ever.

Without further ado, here is a gallery of cosplayers from this year’s incarnation of Tidewater Comicon.
