Will there be cosplay again at this year's OH!CON? Oh yes, indeed there will be!

You don't have to come in costume, but go on – in our experience everyone looks better in a crime-fighting supersuit (or spacesuit, or a natty hat, or...)

Come as a character from comics, games, manga/anime, film, television, or a character of your own creation. Why not enter the Cosplay Masquerade as well?
