MCM London Expo has outgrown the area it takes up of the London ExCel and needs to expand., Everywhere was full but some places, say the bottleneck between the showfloor and the cosplay area was dangerous Vendors weren't too pleased with the crowds in places either, with crowds trying to get past blocking any traffic[...]

These are pictures I took of cosplayers while attending the New York Comic Con last weekend.
With over 115,000 attending, there were too many to chose! For the most part, these were cosplayers who happened to walk by the Avatar Press booth where I was sequestered most of the time However, I did manage to break[...]
Mandy of Beautilition on Etsy writes of her experience cosplaying as the Black Cat at NYCC: So I encourage cosplaying women everywhere to be blunt and vocal with their rights, their personal boundaries, and their comfort level at conventions I actually encourage girls to be brashly shameless about these things, to not be afraid to speak[...]
It was clearly a ploy to single out cosplaying women to get them to talk sexual innuendos and flirt with this asshole and let him talk down to them simply because they were in costume and were attractive Whether I'm in a skintight catsuit or not, I'm a fucking professional in everything I do and[...]

For one of the true comic shows out there, this year's Baltimore Comic-Con had it's share of comic cosplays Some of my favorites:
Arkham's Harley Quinn had a very large… bat You did notice the bat, right?
Crossed maniacs appeared to be a tad hungry at the show.
Looks like Rogue didn't want just Mr[...]
Eric is a photographer for 2 Image Solutions and he takes photographs of cosplayers Not alone in that, I'm sure But what Eric does is take lots of photos of each cosplayer Again, nothing new But then he puts them together, extracts the background in some cases, and creates fully rotatable cosplayers… here are a[...]
While he's been busy-busy working the GCC booth (if you're at BCC you should stop by and say hello), he has been kind enough to send us some pics of his favorite cosplayers from the floor (You can check out his pics from day one of the convention by clicking here.)
"BCC is a really awesome[...]

Dragon*Con 2012: Interview with the Dynamic Duo, Zombie Love, and More Cosplay
Bill Meeks reporting here from hot and sweaty downtown Atlanta, Georgia at Dragon*Con 2012 Day 2 was phenomenal I started the day shooting video at the Marvel Superheroes photo shoot where Stan Lee made a surprise appearance Mary Jane and a Femme Spider-Man were[...]
but the cosplayers do come out in full force There is a lot of drinking naturally but things get pretty quiet early as most want to rest up for panels, parties, and events on Friday.
One thing that is going on every day at the con is the Blood Drive It's one of the biggest in[...]

A glimpse of the cosplay scene from this past weekend's Toronto Fan Expo 2012 These shots are the best I could manage from being stuck at the booth throughout the show, but it was loaded with costumes A few fun tidbits:
The kid dressed as Deadpool is HILARIOUS. Go find the picture down below and read[...]
That if preorders on Bleeding Cool Magazine #1 topped 20,000 (and issue zero brought in around 26,000) that I would cosplay as a character that Bleeding Cool readers vote on, at New York Comic Con.

There were a few true gems at Chicago Comic-Con this year. I think my favorites were when Bossk photobombed an unsuspecting Molotov Cocktease, or when the
I attended with some friends, and for the second year in a row decided to jump into the whole Cosplay arena The 'costume' I selected for Saturday was a take on the latex Bodypaint Venom (an admittedly much more amateur version than were featured on Bleeding Cool last week, dealing with pictures that were banned[...]
A black male Doctor Strange cosplay caused quite a fuss a few days ago, but a white female Doctor Strange takes on the role gets much less fuss Funny how that works.
When it comes to cosplay I think we should go for infinite diversity in infinite combinations Night night.

I'm probably as guilty as many over seeing a black man cosplaying as Captain America and thinking "oh, a black Captain America" rather than just "oh, Captain America" From a Chinese Elvis to a male Slave Princess Leia, I notice the differences in terms of demographic between the person and the person portraying them.

Coco said in the interview that Reddick was at Baltimore Comic-Con and wanted to fit in better there, so he bought the costume.
