64 San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Cosplay Day 2 Images: Mandos, Indys & More

Here's a look at some of the best & brightest cosplayers in action and cosplay on display during Day #2 of San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC).


Welcome to Day 2 of our San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Cosplay report. SDCC  is now in full swing, and it was a literal parade of all your favorite characters from pop culture. Cosplayers come from all over the country, in fact, the world, to display their creativity and talent, and this year's kick-off was no exception. The San Diego Comic-Con was first held at the U.S. Grant Hotel in 1970 with just about 300 attendees. Since then, the show has been housed in a variety of different venues, such as the El Cortez Hotel in the 1970s, the San Diego Convention Center and Performing Arts Center(CPAC), and, since 1991, the San Diego Convention Center. The most recent survey shows that SDCC welcomed well over 135,000 unique attendees to the show, being very conservative in counting each 4-day badge as one person. Of those attendees, this journalist would up his estimate to close to 24% sporting cosplay in one form or another.
