This weekend wasn’t only notable for the hilarious/terrifying shitshow that was the second Presidential debate — it also saw the return of ComicCon to New York, and with it, the dizzying array of fan costumes that have made the event famous. Our ace photographer Andrew Boyle was there, as ever, to capture the best, most elaborate, weirdest and most flat-out awesome costumes on display, and they’re here in this exclusive photo gallery. (Special shout out to Boba Fett-ish.)
