WonderCon returned for a weekend of fun

Since 2012, WonderCon Anaheim—now called Comic-Con International Presents WonderCon Anaheim—has been held in Southern California at the Anaheim Convention Center. WonderCon is the sister show to Comic-Con, embracing all of the main aspects of SDCC, including comics, movies, TV, animation, cosplay, and more.

Cosplay, or “costume play,” is a fun way for convention-goers to express themselves, be creative, and make new friends. WonderCon is a fan favorite convention among cosplayers. Cosplay is in no way a requirement for attending the convention. It is optional for all attendees.

You can usually find several fan-organized cosplay meetups throughout the weekend as well as a Cosplay Competition hosted by the Convention. This is basically a talent show before a large audience, showcasing amazing costumes crafted by non-professional attendees.
