San Diego Comic Con 2022 Cosplay Masquerade [PHOTOS]

The Masquerade is the on-stage costume/cosplay competition at San Diego Comic-Con. The 2022 event took place on Saturday, July 23, and the talent on display did not disappoint. This was my first time ever at SDCC, but I knew the masquerade had to be on my to-do list. Here are a few photos I took from the event at the San Diego Convention Center.
