New York Comic Con has come to an end and the various cosplayers who descended on the city have backed their bags and headed home. However, they’ve left a lasting impression with their incredible costumes. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite cosplay looks from a spot-on recreation of Thor: Ragnarok‘s Hela to an homage to Janelle Monáe’s “PYNK.” Here are 17 cosplayers who totally killed it.
