By Published October 11, 2026, 3:26 pm ET Reading time 1 minute © Adriano Contreras/io9 On day three of New York Comic Con 2026, we stopped by a Star Trek cosplay meetup, a Star Wars march, and the official BoricuaVerse gathering for some Puerto Rico-themed costumes. The creativity and skill on display were next-level, with a Darth Vader sporting a broken helmet to reveal some incredible effects makeup and a massive Fallout power armor suit being particular standouts. Here are our favorite cosplays we saw at NYCC day three.
