Rose City Comic Con returned for 2022, the second year back since having to cancel as a precaution during the pandemic in 2020.

This also marked the 10th manifestation of the event. During the weekend of Sept. 22 – 24, thousands of fans showed up in ever-more elaborate costumes inspired by their favorite anime or super hero— and in most instances constructed with a flair for creativity.
