Love was in the air this weekend… and so was the smell of foam armor and fresh 3D prints!

For the third year in a row, the team behind Quebec Comiccon brought back the Winter Carnival edition of their event, this year landing on Valentine’s Day weekend. And honestly? There’s no better way to celebrate love than by spending it with your fellow geeks.

Beyond the bustling vendor booths and talented artists, the real magic was walking the con floor itself. Cosplayers showed up in full force, proudly debuting brand-new builds and upgraded costumes that clearly took months of work. From screen-accurate armor to clever mashups, our friends and fellow fans absolutely brought their A-game.

As always, we were there on-site as photographers, capturing every epic pose and dramatic cape swirl we could find.

Be sure to scroll down and check out the full gallery below, and if you spot yourself, be sure share the love!

And here’s a short video showcasing the coolest costume of the day, Lady Goldpool!
