Tony Harris, at the centre of a controversy last month over the motivation of certain cosplayers and how this reflected upon the rest of the comics industry.

This thing about nerd cred... I just don't know.  Being a nerd has been a mainstream thing for a loooonng time.  It's not something that can or should be

Sometimes I even go in for some racy type stuff ( keeping the comments PG for my Ladies sake) but dammit, dammit, dammit I am so sick and tired of the whole COSPLAY-Chiks I know a few who are actually pretty cool-and BIG Shocker, love and read Comics.So as in all things, they are the[...]

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?

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[...]
