Comic Con 2016: The best costumes so far

Comic-Con International has just kicked off in San Diego. The four day sci-fi, comic and fantasy convention attracts thousands of fans. And as ever, the outfits are incredible. There are just some of the best on show...

Elvis on stilts promoting the movie Sharknado - it's about sharks attacking Las Vegas. Yes, sharks attacking Las Vegas!

It wouldn't be Comic-con without a bit of Ghostbuster action.

The 2016 remake involving women Ghostbusters has been a major taking point lately, with some fans upset at the all-female cast and the stars receiving a lot of abuse.

The Original Ghostbusters film captured the world's imagination in 1984

Not many people would be brave enough to pull this one off but check out Marvel's Silver Surfer. Fine in San Diego, less practical in Morecambe.

The Silver Surfer first appeared in Marvel comics in 1966

Leah is killing it as Diva Plavalaguna from The Fifth Element.

The Incredible Hulk is always a favourite at these conventions, first seen in comic books in 1962. This year Marvel decided to kill off Doctor Banner (the Hulk's alter ego) in comic "Civil War II". Hawkeye shoots Banner in the eye, killing him.

"HULK SMASH!"

Christina is terrifying dressed as Brewess from the Witcher 3 video game

This one has the feel of "forgot until the last minute and took whatever was left at the fancy dress shop".

Much more effort here,

No, we don't know either.

Take away the hat and he could be Columbo. Just one more question etc

No prizes for guessing the emotion.

Do you think she knows about the person behind her?
