It ain't easy being a cosplayer at Phoenix Comicon, or any other convention during the warmer months. It can be uncomfortable walking around downtown Phoenix to begin with, let alone layers of cardboard, PVC, or other costuming material. And believe us, you tend to do a lot of walking at Comicon every year. Local cosplayers toughed out both the warm weather and the physical activity to get where they needed to go, however, and did so in style while starring as any number of characters from the imaginative realms of sci-fi, fantasy, comics, and video games. As is the norm at PCC, costumes were everywhere to be seen both inside and outside during the four-day experience at the Phoenix Convention Center from Thursday, May 28, to Sunday, May 31. Here's a visual look at its many costumes and cosplayers.
