Never doubt the power of a devoted audience: Time and again, adoring fan bases have brought television shows back from the brink of cancellation—or actual cancellation. Shows like Family Guy and Futurama were resuscitated long after cancellation by the indirect fan actions of DVD purchases and the ratings of reruns on other networks, but sometimes fans take a much more direct role in rescuing their favorite programs.

The last week of July, cosplayers around the globe gathered in Southern California to show off their newest looks at the 2024 San Diego Comic Con. Zeon Santos and I were lucky enough to capture the fun. Here are some of our favorite cosplay pics from the convention. It was hot at the convention this year, so I'm sure Nick Wilde had no problem selling off Pawpsicles whether or not he had the proper permits.

I'm not a killer pinball player, but I am a fan, which is why I always stop by the Stern pinball room at SDCC. This year, I was actually treated to a special press presentation of the John Wick machine and I am so glad I got to play this game. As you can see above, John Wick himself had the chance to play the game at the con, but sadly I missed that opportunity. There's so much to love on these machines if you're a fan of John Wick.

Not everyone has the budget, time, or talent to pull off a show-stopping, screen-ready cosplay. But sometimes, a little imagination and a sense of humor are all you need to make an amazingly memorable costume. These costumes are as entertaining as they are hilarious. It’s not every day you see a pink Hello Kitty maid Stormtrooper, but if you want to stand out from the crowd, this may be the most unexpected way to do it.

You don’t have to be in a couple to wear couple’s costumes —you just have to be two people who happen to be dressed as characters in the same fictional universe. And at the SDCC, sometimes that means just running into someone with a cosplay that matches yours. Regardless of their relationship status, these couples we photographed last weekend all look incredible together.

One of the great things about the San Diego Comic Con is that there is always something fun to do - even if you don't have a Comic Con badge. A perfect example is the Paramount+ Lodge, where visitors can get an inside look at the some of their favorite shows. Want to get a better feeling for your favorite Ghosts character?
