You ever go to a convention and you see a cosplayer who seems to be a little too much into character? You start thinking maybe they believe they really are the person they are dressed up to be? Someone else thought that too… and they made a web series about it. Sweethearts Of The Galaxy is[...]

The show wasn't large, but a steady flow of enthusiastic fans and a good number of cosplayers filled the day I'll say I loved all the hard work that were put into the costumes, but a special tip of the hat to Tony Stark and to the quartet of Batman villains who seemed to put[...]

Those making the trek to Dragon Con may spend four days cosplaying and never realize that Darwyn Cooke, Amanda Conner, and Jimmy Palmiotti are seated at joining tables in a basement level of one of the 5 host hotels. The path of the comic fan at Dragon Con often feels like a secret path that no[...]

The Hideo Kojima, game director for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out on his English Twitter account and admitted that the characters in MGS5 are being designed with a more erotic feel to encourage cosplay and the sale of figures Not that this is suprising, but its rare to have someone just[...]

I may add more as I sort through the rest of my cosplay footage. Finally we have about 40 cosplay pictures from my friend and professional photographer Cory Beck He did a heck of a job this year Viva la Dragon Con! #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption[...]

Hannah Means-Shannon, senior New York Correspondent for Bleeding Cool writes; As promised, Escape Pod Comics in Huntington, Long Island, hosted its "Cosplay Sunday" event on August 25th, and showed ongoing growth in attracting the bold and beautiful in costume It's a grand idea for shops to feature cosplay days, particularly since there isn't always a con[...]

It boils down to what any rational person would expect: No means no, cosplay is not consent, and treat others with respect Unfortunately at a convention this large there are plenty of people that aren't rational (as well as rational people who drink away a bit of their rationality) so it has to be spelled[...]

Otakon 2013 took place last weekend and the fine folks over at Beat Down Boogie put together not one, but two video montages and posted a huge gallery of still photos of all the cosplay folks who attended The big news from the event was that the convention will be moving from Baltimore to Washington D.C[...]

That is sooooo Wizard. THE PRICE IS WRONG, BITCH! — $100 to get into Wizard World Chicago?!? What, do I get to make out with the cosplayer of my choice for that? (Opposite gender, same gender would probably be extra.) For those who aren't that good at The Maths, that's a 25% increase in price from last[...]

And away from the Con, the comics can be drowned out. So here's a collection of all our comic-related coverage at San Diego Comic Con. Okay, there's a few toys and cosplay posts that sneak in there as well But still… DC Comics Grant Morrison To Write For Vertigo Again DC All Access: Masterminding Forever Evil, Shazam Monthly On The[...]

Mostly from Devin T Q (and a few from me – look for Marv Wolfman being interviewed by The Black Cat) another look through some of the amazing cosplay in evidence at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see[...]

Girlfriend chillingly informs him of his mistake, and then breaks his arm. Patrick's son is in the audience, cosplaying as Shore Leave Doc and Jackson essentially make fun of Patricks 15 year old kid until it is slightly uncomfortable for everybody Doc assure people that they have prepared no content, and proceeds to ramble about bowel[...]

The CINEMA MAKEUP SCHOOL took Cosplay to a whole new level at the Comic Con exhibit hall today, unveiling an arachnid femme fatale and a terrifyingly real take on the new 52 Joker. Creepy.

I've seen so many people in X-Men cosplay in San Diego this year – something like one for every fifteen Tardis ladies, and that's thousands, probably – that the following probably counts as a huge and worthwhile public service announcement. So, from Bryan Singer's Twitter feed: X-MEN EAT FREE! Tomorrow, head to Carls Jr Star diner @ComicCon[...]

Perhaps even more single-mindedly than comic cons do when promoting their art form, the Anime Expo puts the emphasis on pop culture education and cultural understanding, and focuses as much on the artwork involved as vendors and cosplay 500 artists booths graced the expo, outstripping even the 400 vendor booths in a massive display of[...]

Christopher Troy writes; On July 2nd, I attended the first Drink and Draw and Cosplay in Midtown Manhattan, literally steps away from Midtown Comics' flagship Time Square location Now I'm not going to claim Drink and Draws are a uniquely New York experience, even with the added Cosplayer element, but it was a really cool experience,[...]

Cosplay correspondent for Bleeding Cool, Endymion Megeto, spoke to Jay Justice, of New York City. How long have you been going to SDCC? What was your first time at SDCC like? This year will be my second time at San Diego Comic Con My first time at SDCC was a lot of fun It's a big convention[...]

With convention season in full swing it seemed like a good time to explain what Rule 63 was in reference to Cosplay In the list of internet rules published anonymously back in roughly 2007, rule 63 states: "For every given male character, there is a female version of that character; conversely for every given female[...]

Okay, so what are Top Cow doing, that you can only buy if you go to San Diego Comic Con and line up for hours? There's the cosplay variant above! There's the ultra-limited THINK TANK Volume 1 Hardcover, limited to 1000 with only the first 100 getting bookplated.   Limited to 200 is the mini-lithograph by Marc Silvestri,[...]

I'm a huge Tim Burton fan so it was fun to be able to just see it.  What costume are you working on for SDCC this year? I will be doing Rogue for Thursday, ME1 Liara for Friday, Alyx Vance with my lovely Gordon on Saturday, and possibly Tinkerbell for Sunday. How long have you been cosplaying? I think[...]

Last year, Bleeding Cool ran an article on 2 Images Solutions, who were specialising in photographing cosplayers in fixed positions and rotating them, to create fully rotatable animated imaged A clever, interesting take on cosplay photography We liked it. And then, courtesy of The Outhouse, we found out what they were being used for Pillows with[...]
