The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) 2025 ran over the weekend of April 11-13 and we were on site to get you some great cosplay photos and talk about the con.
As the first day of the convention, things started a little slow, but around noon or so it had definitely picked up and the floor was bustling. From then on it only got more and more busy through the end of the day. This was definitely the day to try and make it to Artist Alley, as the aisles are notoriously narrow for the size of the crowds trying to get through. Even so, there were plenty of times in my sojourn through that there were traffic jams and you just tried to get through the best you could.

As always, there was lots of good cosplays to be seen throughout the convention center. With cast members from the casts of Lord of the Rings, The Breakfast Club, and Critical Role in attendance, groups cosplaying those characters were plentiful all weekend, as well as the usual mix of cosplays. Here is my batch of photos from Friday!
