On Day 2 of Comic-Con International the cosplay game expands. The costumes are more intricate and more plentiful as cosplayers parade down Fifth Avenue on their way to the San Diego Convention Center. Our friendly neighborhood photographer Sal Giametta captured the action — and you can bet he’ll be back tomorrow. So you should plan on clicking back to The Sun, too.

Just a great day to cosplay! SDSun
