GALLERY: Friday at C2E2 2026

Well, the madness is upon us again - and Friday pulled no punches. The parking garage was full before noon, people were double parked, the Main Stage is somewhere new, the hall aisles are kicked out wide - and we're ready?

We weren't the only ones ready to show out though - there was a ton of great cosplay even for a first day of the convention. We had our roving photographers - Aaron Cynic, Julian Ramirez, and Marielle Bokor - out on the floor to capture all your amazing 'fits - and you didn't disappoint.

Be amazed. We know we were. See you out there tomorrow, Chicago!
