San Diego Comic-Con’s opening-day cosplay included fan-made looks inspired by What We Do in the Shadows, Marvel, DC, Fallout, Barbie and Pokémon. The io9 gallery, published July 26, 2024, gathers favorites spotted at the convention on Thursday, July 25. Browse the day-one photo gallery.
What cosplay was at Comic-Con on day one?
The gallery highlights costumes drawing on a range of film, television, comic-book and game fandoms. Its text specifically calls out What We Do in the Shadows, Marvel, DC, Fallout, Barbie and Pokémon, as well as other inspirations. The costumes are fan-created; the gallery invites readers to look through the photographs and see who they recognize.
The accessible gallery text does not provide a complete, dependable list of photographed characters or cosplayers. Treat the images and any accompanying captions as the authority for individual identifications rather than guessing from appearance.
Which other costumes were seen in San Diego on July 25?
KPBS’s independent coverage of Comic-Con’s opening day includes a family posing as characters from Bob’s Burgers, and Francesco Lojacono and Kevin Schwab dressed as Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens. These are examples documented in the KPBS gallery; they are not confirmed as subjects in io9’s photo gallery. See KPBS’s July 25 photo coverage.

A practical note for cosplay repairs
Costumes can need small fixes during a convention. San Diego Public Library’s IDEA Lab offered a cosplay repair station with sewing machines, 3D printers, laser cutters and other materials, addressing issues such as missing buttons and broken straps. That establishes repair support available at the event, not that any cosplayer pictured in either gallery used the station. Learn about the library’s IDEA Lab.
For a loose button or a simple seam, basic hand-sewing supplies may be enough; a broken structural piece can call for fabrication tools or a repair station instead. Match the fix to the costume and the problem rather than assuming every repair can be solved with a sewing kit.
