Popverse’s coverage of Emerald City Comic Con is brought to you by Signet Collectibles, the go-to place for authentic autographed items! Embrace your collecting Journey. 

It just isn't a comic con without some of the most talented cosplayers in the world, and Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con 2026 was no exception. Not only were some of the most elaborately costumed fans alive at the show to take pictures and attend panels, but at one point during the show, they were on stage strutting their stuff in competition.

Popverse was lucky enough to be in the room as the annual Cosplay Central Crown Championships were underway, and the looks we captured bring your favorite characters to life in a way they haven't been before. You can watch all of our coverage of this amazing event too, just by checking out the video below.

This is one of the many ECCC 2026 panels that Popverse are filming at the Seattle Convention Center's Main Stage. Consult our ECCC 2026 livestream/VOD panel schedule for a list of all of the panels we have available, and what's left to be released.
