A major draw to WonderCon every year is the massive amount of cosplayers. Fans from around the world come together, dressed as their favorite superhero, villain, anime character, and more. Some even come as completely original creations, showing off their hard work and craftsmanship that goes into each costume. If you have never experienced a comic book convention, WonderCon is an excellent representation on how amazing a con can be.

WonderCon Anaheim is produced and operated by San Diego’s Comic Con International, also known as simply Comic-Con, the largest comics and popular arts convention in the world according to the Guinness World Records. Comic-Con International organizes the San Diego Comic-Con each summer and WonderCon each spring.
