Because I’ve decided to take on the role of your personal Comic-Con countdown clock, we’re only five days away from the biggest convention of the year. Thousands and thousands of us will soon be crammed into the halls of the San Diego Convention Center and on the streets of Gaslamp Quarter, and we’ll be loving life–until Sunday when we all transform into zombies. Be sure to stay tuned to Nerdist during the convention for all the latest and greatest news and also for daily cosplay features. I’ll be rounding up the best of Comic-Con cosplay every day of the con. But for now, let’s look at this week’s Cosplay Friday gallery–it has Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender, a femme Claptrap from Borderlands, and much more.

I hope to see a lot of you in costume at Comic-Con next week! Don’t forget to share photos of your cosplay–from Comic-Con or in general–with me in the comments or on Twitter.
