I feel like Iāve spent the entire year introducing each cosplay show post the same way. Welcome back, itās awesome that everyone was together again after a few years away, isnāt it lovely seeing fresh cosplay again, yada yada yada. But Dragon Con, Atlantaās big show for the year, actually went down in 2021!
So instead of making a big deal about Welcoming Everyone Back, Iāll just be extending a regular welcome back. Welcome back! And adding that, after 2021’s extensive pandemic-related measures, the 2022 show was a lot looser on the rules, resulting in a huge boost in attendance, up from 42,000 people last year to around 65,000 in 2022.
Below youāll find video and a gallery with some of our favourite cosplay from the weekend, which took place last month in Atlanta. There wasnāt just a convention but also Dragon Conās trademark, a cosplay street parade.
As usual, all photos and video are by the talented Mineralblu, and youāll find each cosplayerās details, including their social media handles and which character theyāre cosplaying, watermarked on the image.
Also, after some complaints about loading times and sluggishness from having so many huge images on the one page, Iām testing splitting the images up into a slideshow instead. Let me know how that goes though, if the annoyance of that outweighs the load time stuff, Iāll switch back next time!
