DragonCon 2015’s Amazing Cosplay and Costumes

One of the coolest parts of DragonCon is the amazing costumes that people come up with. From the professional to the enthusiastic amateur, they all come together at this most wonderful of conventions.  Come and see some of the best ones we found at the 2015 show. We’ve done our best to tap deep into our geek roots to identify each one, but if we got something wrong, please let us know. Enjoy the show as recorded by Marie Bronwhill at DragonCon 2015.

We found him! Waldo is always a popular cosplay, but this time, Marie was able to capture a shot of him surrounded by folks on an escalator. It's like a scene out of the books, and her favorite photo of DragonCon 2015.
