New York Comic Con 2025: Xena, Steve From Blue's Clues And More Of TVLine's Favorite Cosplay Photos
Superheroes, Pokémon and anthropomorphic pickles collided at Manhattan's Javits Center this weekend for New York Comic Con 2025. TVLine was on the scene on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, keeping our eyes peeled (and our cameras ready) for quality TV representation on the convention floor.
And what a range of characters we saw. Some of the more unexpected faces included Eustace and Muriel from Cartoon Network's Courage the Cowardly Dog (all the way from the Middle of Nowhere!), green stripe enthusiast Steve from Nickelodeon's Blues Clues, and a darkly adorable mashup of Pikachu and Venom.
We were also delighted to spot so many of the usual suspects, including Xena (last name: The Warrior Princess); one of Darth Vader's many masked minions; and a smorgasbord of superheroes, from Batman and Superman to Hawkeye and Kate Bishop.
Did we include in a few "movie" costumes? Sure, but allow us to defend ourselves in advance: There was a Legend of Zelda cartoon back in 1989, Beetlejuice and Coraline are staples of Freeform's 31 Nights of Halloween, and, you know, who doesn't love Pee-Wee's Great Adventure?
