This past weekend Brooklyn saw its inaugural Comic Con take place in Fort Hamilton, with Marvel characters, Warriors look-a-likes and other cosplayers, graphic novel enthusiasts, and kindred comic spirits coming together at the borough’s western waterfront in celebration of all that is illustrated.

[The event](/fort-hamilton-comic-con-2016-everything-you-need-to-know/) took place at the Fort Hamilton Community Club at 207 Sterling Drive and featured a variety of live panels, a Best Cosplay Costume contest, as well as vendors and artists galore.

In stark contrast to New York Comic Con — the self-anointed “largest pop culture event on the East Coast” — the Fort Hamilton gathering was quite intimate, with a much more local feel.

Check out some of the colorful highlights of the events below:
