ReedPOP’s C2E2 2015 took place in Chicago at McCormick Place this past weekend. Friday always has a thinner crowd, with both special time for trade and professionals in the morning, and many fans unable to attend until the traditional work week ends Friday evening. 

Saturday is busier, but many serious cosplayers are prepping for C2E2 and Wikia’s Championships of Cosplay Competition which begins just as the show floor closes.  The pictures in the gallery below include a shot of winner Jim Schmid’s impressive costume.
