Yesterday we ran a little light smattering of cosplay from Day One of the New York Comic Con As we saidf then, cosplay takes commitment Time Money Transportation, Availability Which means it's less likely to be seen on the Thursday of a comic convention like New York Comic Con. But on Friday there was more[...]

Cosplay takes commitment Time Money Transportation, Availability Which means it's less likely to be seen on the Thursday of a comic convention like New York Comic Con So there was a light smattering today rather than the full-blown cosplay roar of a Friday or a Saturday Nevertheless, there were some fine examples… here are a[...]

So this is the true story of why I left the cosplay community… You may want to put your seatbelt on, because this story is going to get a little bumpy. Now, if you're unaware, cosplay is a hobby where people dress up as in costumes, generally of characters from comics or movies or tv shows, and[...]

Hi there! This is your friendly neighborhood cosplay kid here, Always Adriel Cosplay I'm not in the game so much anymore, but before I was a world-renowned television commentator/reviewer for Bleeding Cool? I was super active in it not so long ago and still hold costuming, conventions, and the culture close to my heart. For the[...]

Cosplay Oh, people always dress up, but this year there seemed to be more of a superhero theme than usual And there were quite a few Black Panthers, Spider-Men, Harley Quinns and Poison Ivies around the place… I went down with the kids today, arrived early, left early, may just go solo tomorrow… The Notting Hill Carnival[...]

Courtesy of Daniel Celko, Erin Wilhelm, Madeline Potts and Mike Sangregorio, here's a little look at some of the cosplay on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 on the Thursday, both inside the show and out… including everyone from Starfire to Spider-Gwenom, with Game Of Thrones, Twisted Stormtroopers, Harley Quinn, Ms Marvel and featuring large…[...]

All declarations of interest on the table. Anyway, last week, CBR's Facebook page pushed an article from one of their partner sites, TheThings.com The article shows photos of lots of cosplayers, criticising their costuming and, during so, mistaking the She-Hulk costumer above as a 'gender-bent' Hulk Many are clearly fun costumes, meant to be quite silly, but[...]

I just had the chance to take a run around outside and inside at MCM London Comic Con 2019 happening the weekend, with an eye on the cosplay A video below and a gallery of about 60 shots This is of course a tiny fraction of the thousands of cosplay on display today – it's[...]

Salt Lake City Utah hosts one of the most active and vibrant cosplay communities in the country, and they turn out when convention time rolls around with creative and elaborate costumes spanning fandoms and generations Between conventions they host numerous meetups to coordinate and help each other create top-notch costumes and foster a safe community[...]

ANOVOS, high-end costume and prop maker mostly known for their Star Wars products, is in hot water yet again from collectors and the cosplay community After many years of broken promises and long waits for information on products, not to mention extremely long waits for refunds, they have now posted a message on their website[...]

Here are 46 cosplay photos from the last day of the convention. Until[...]

More cosplay from C2E2 day 2! 60 photos from the show floor with a lot of Spider-Verse, the usual amount of Deadpool, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and some people who think they really, really should have been in Game Of Thrones… [...]

Its the first day of C2E2 and the cosplay abounds! Here is just a sample of the excellent costumes around the convention from Robert Goode, and social media. Rich adds: Thanks Robert, and here's some[...]

All praise to Judd Morse, at Emerald City Comic Con ECCC 2019 for Bleeding Cool, and taking shows like a madman through the show. If you find yourself in

The targeted vehicle was owned by ALA attendee and cosplayer Julia Moreno Jenkins. In the aftermath of the loss of her car, the local cosplay community has set up a gofundme to help in replacing it. Jenkins boyfriend, John Hale, said that this did not appear to be a random attack, but the culmination of a year of Toyotome's[...]

Happening right now at the Los Angeles Convention Center- Anime Los Angeles, aka ALA. Here is an ongoing gallery (that we'll be updating as our guest photographer updates) from Ellen Towne, who was kind enough to get us run her expanding gallery of cosplay from the event: #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img[...]

Imagine if you will- The Wasteland of Mad Max, but fancy as f**k with ballgowns made from parts of rusted cars and tuxedos out of hazmat suits - thats'

If you cosplay at conventions a lot, they make a great spot for carrying cards and playing decks, photographs, badges, that kind of stuff they've well made and very discrete. The top part of the jacket has a removable hood I absolutely loved this for a couple of reasons First, it makes it versatile depending on[...]

Blizzard's annual BlizzCon is happening right now at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the cosplay is ON POINT. Here's a gallery of 30 incredible cosplay photos from our friend photographer DTJAAAAM, aka David Ngo: #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 gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ BlizzCon continues[...]

Alamo City Comic Con and Laura Lara have apologized for controversy sparked at the convention's annual cosplay contest Lara's son Travis "MC CyaNide" Lara hosted the contest apparently while wearing blackface (a photo of the costume can be seen here) Lara was cosplaying as Powerline, a character from Disney's The Goofy Movie believed to be based[...]

But here is all that Sunday had to offer the cosplay connoisseur at New York Comic Con… and there were plenty Four hundred plus plenty… #gallery-1[...]

So, how about a series of roundup reminder posts while most of Bleeding Cool are still travelling and dealing with airplane wi-fi? This isn't comprehensive, there are still more to run but for now… 21 stories about cosplay, overviews, comic culture panels and features and galleries at New York Comic Con 2018. A Look at New York[...]

Sometimes, the perfect cosplay presents its self when you're not expecting it, which is what happened to >this< reporter during 2018's New York Comic Con (NYCC). (Editor's note: This article first appeared on Aggressive Comix.) It was my first time at the event, and aside from being COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with the size of the Javits Center and[...]

Thanks to Adam Wolfe for sending this wonderful gallery of cosplay photography from the third day of New York Comic Con – and leaving us wondering what will appear to finish out the weekend on Sunday? There were more than just cosplayers standing for poses, there were others that were breaking out their musical skills as this Mario, Luigi,[...]

This is the kind of gear you could wear at a convention to cosplay, but could also wear around town as a functional item We've got three things to review for you today, all of them in time for the fall and winter months where you'll need some additional padding, and we'll start with their[...]

We're still workshopping that collective noun too, but, anytime you see a group of Judge Dredd cosplayers all together, it can be intimidating. Scowls and leather are the name of the game here in this gallery of photos from Benn Robbins of Robbins Studios Photography and Fine Art, who was again awesome enough to let us[...]

It makes sense really, kind of the same way that Galaxy Quest is often the answer to the question "What's your favorite Star Trek movie?" In this case, a group of Orville crew cosplayers invading the Star Trek-themed party during 2018's Dragon Con makes PERFECT sense. The 10 Forward party, based on Guinan's place on the Enterprise in Star[...]

We're still going through our mountains of images from this year's Dragon Con (2018), the annual convention that takes place in Atlanta, Georgia. As always, some of the most popular cosplays again where within the realm of the Cosmic Conflict programs, Star Wars.  There were snaplines of Reys, slaplines of Holdos and Leias and Poes, and the[...]

These are just some passing shots I myself took on Sunday, between the hours of noon[...]
