FACES & PLACES: The Best Of Comic-Con 2025 Cosplay Photos

One last look at four days of costumed characters who came to play in downtown San Diego

Most of the 130,000-plus attendees of Comic-Con International 2025 have flow off to their places of origin. From July 24-27, they came, many to cosplay, for the annual pilgrimage to downtown San Diego and the San Diego Convention Center.

Here’s one last, loving look back at the costumed characters that make The Con special. San Diego Sun photographer Sal Giametta’s trademark portraiture tells the story through the eyes that lead to the soul of each and every would-be superhero and fantasy alter ego.

Check out four days of photos, including a final wrap at the end of this montage that shows how downtown San Diego buildings got in on the action, too.
