New York Comic-Con's Cutest Cosplayers Photo Gallery

New York Comic-Con's Cutest Cosplayers

Everyone loves cosplay galleries -- at least, if the amount of traffic, comments, and links they get is any indication. And hey, why not? The amount of attention some people put into their costumes is admirable, sometimes maybe even borderline-crazy. But when you've been doing this as long as we have, all those costumes start to blur together. Girls in lovingly detailed but inappropriately skimpy spandex thongs, folks wearing cardboard armor, scrawny guys trying to pass themselves off as muscular slabs of superheroism, hefty dudes straining the stitching on their Char Aznable uniforms... it's the same show after show. After a while, you just need a fresh take on it all.

Luckily, we found exactly that at this year's New York Comic-Con. Maybe it's the family-oriented nature of the show, or maybe it's just the event's close proximity to Halloween. Whatever the case, the cosplayers who caught our eye were the legions of little kids roaming the show while decked out in full costumes. From classics like Batman to newfangled characters like Hatsune Miku, the under-10 set was well-represented at NYCC. And to be honest, they kind of melted our hearts. There's something awesomely sincere about a pre-teen Doctor Who brandishing his sonic screwdriver with a determined expression on his young face that a 35-year-old in the same threads could never hope to capture.

We photographed our favorite next-gen geeks from NYCC -- with their parents' permission, of course! -- and have rounded them up into this gallery so that your heart, too, can be melted. Enjoy, and prepare to say, "Awww." (A lot!)
