GALLERY: C2E2 2025 FRI - We're Going on an Adventure (in Cosplay)!

When you start off a convention with a healthy helping of Hobbitses, dwarves and all manner of Middle Earth folks, you know it's gonna be an epic journey. C2E2 certainly doesn't believe in the slow start, although as of publishing time today Friday was a walk in the park compared to trying to get anywhere near the convention center for the 40th anniversary of a seminal film of our time by none other than John Hughes that features the first ever convention appearance of the full cast right here where it was shot. That's another story (Spoilers: we actually made it and we'll post that article ASAP just in case you were caught in the world's most intense traffic like half our team was.

That Breakfast Club panel likely broke records though. More on that later.

For NOW, rest your weary feet (since you probably walked from lot X) and check out some of the amazing cosplay we saw at C2E2 for Day 1!
