If you’re curious as to why Boston is filled with people wearing costumes this weekend, it’s not because Halloween has arrived early. It’s because it’s Boston Comic Con, the annual comic book convention, has descended on the city, and attendees are using it as an opportunity to dress up as their favorite characters.

Here are some of the best costumes:
