HBO’s Carnival of super-powered freaks stole the show at New York Comic Con. In anticipation of the third season of the critically-acclaimed show, XDA brought Doom Patrol’s Season 2 cliffhanger finale off the screen and onto the streets outside the Javits Center, welcoming fans new and old.

Under the big top, the show came to life. Woven through a classic carnival experience were character references, visuals, themes from the show, and easter eggs.

Attendees were constantly entertained with sideshow acts and had the opportunity to meet the Doom Patrol cast and try their luck to win big with prizes.
