This weekend I had the opportunity to attend my third consecutive C2E2 held in Chicago's McCormick Place.  In only its fifth year, the Reed Pop event continues to grow and is becoming something of an April tradition for yours truly.  Like other pop culture conventions, C2E2 features its fair share of panels, screenings, celebrity guests, and more.  For me, though, the element that offers the most fun is hands down the Cosplay. Seeing devoted Con-goers walk the show floor dressed as their favorite pop culture characters generates a sense of camaraderie that helps make geek culture undeniably unique.  All setup aside, after the jump you can check out 50 pictures from this year's C2E2 including cosplayers doing Ghostbusters, Batman, Spider-Man, Hellboy, Halo, Spawn, an excellent Frankenberry, Silent Hill, and much more.  Hit the jump for all of the images.
