The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) happened over the weekend of April 26-28). We already provided you with some coverage, but now we are getting now to the nitty gritty of the event with some Friday cosplay photos.
One of the more popular things for cosplayers are the photo shoots. There are photos shoots for all genres from Anime to Dungeons & Dragons. Normally I try to catch a few different photos shoots, but I didn’t have a whole lot of time this weekend and didn’t make it.

Many of the photo shoots are held at the escalators. You cover a lot of miles when you are constantly going from the con floor to the downstairs fountains to the escalators and back to the con floor. I’m getting old and do not cover as much ground as I used to.
If you really want to see some great shots of the various group photo shoots then head over to ChicagoConPics. They do a great job organizing massive shoots every year.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.
FOOD
(16 Votes)
PARKING
(17 Votes)
VENDORS
(16 Votes)
We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
I arrived late on Friday, thus didn’t get many shots at all. I did manage to make it to part of a cosplay shoot that had an interesting theme. The theme was Eddie from Iron Maiden. Cosplayers dressed up as the Eddie variants that were on many of the album covers. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get decent photos of everyone that participated in it, but here are the ones I did get. and I will fully admit that some of them were taken over the shoulder of Jason of ChicagoConPics, he is just a MUCH MUCH better photographer than me.
As always, if you make a comment on the photo, we will tag it.
