With the 8th season recently closing out the series, “Game of Thrones” is sure to be a popular choice for Comic-Con outfits this year. Represent your favorite house over the weekend or join the white walkers and spread a bit of evil.

Stranger Things

The third season of the beloved coming-of-age Netflix series “Stranger Things” premieres Fourth of July weekend and has inspired quite a few costume choices during previous Comic-Cons. If you like Eleven, just wear a dress and bring some Eggos, or test your crafting skills and turn yourself into the Demogorgon.

Avengers

After the release of “Avengers: Infinity War,” the most recent addition to the franchise, earlier this year, it’s easy to assume that this year’s Comic-Con will be packed with Marvel characters. Pick your favorite hero — or maybe a giant purple villain — and show where your allegiances lie.

Rick & Morty

Those looking for an easy option for Comic-Con cosplay should look no further than “Rick & Morty.” This wildly popular animated series has grown in popularity since its first season, which premiered in 2013. Rick’s blue hair and white lab coat or Morty’s yellow shirt make easy options for those looking to represent their favorite characters during this year’s convention.
