Cosplay's GOAT, right here.

Lots of New York Comic Con attendees visit the Jacob K. Javits Center every fall dressed as one favorite fictional character or another. But for one showgoer at this year's event, the costume got decidedly meta.

Instead of donning the disguise of beloved character, this NYCC hero dressed up as Comic Con itself. Or, more specifically, the convention center that houses it.

This tweet from comics writer Scott Snyder has been making the rounds -- with close to 100,000 favorites at the time of this writing. But Snyder isn't the only attendee who spotted the Javits Center cosplayer at the Javits Center.

Every look at this amazing work is better than the last. I flipped out a couple weeks ago when someone at Tokyo Game Show dressed up as a working Nintendo Switch.

This, though. This is on a whole new level. Nice work, nameless hero cosplayer.
