On July 20, the largest and most famous American festival of show business and comics Comic-Con International opened in San Diego, California. The event has been held since 1970.

One of the hallmarks of Comic-Con is the participation of hundreds of cosplayers, fans of video games, movies, anime and comics, dressing up as their favorite characters.

This year, at Comic-Con, photographers captured hundreds of superheroes from various universes, including Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars the dog, Agent Austin Powers, Wonder Woman, Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy, Professor Trelawney and the Auror Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter, Cyno and Sukrows from the video game Genshin Impact.

True, not all costumes turned out to be successful.

The most ridiculous costumes of the festival are in the Gazeta photo gallery
