Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 05.21.12

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Check out this week’s round-up of the Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance, featuring Loki, The Riddler, Mia Fey, Green Ranger (above), and more!

Marvel and Benefit Cosmetics’ ‘SpyGal’ Sports Gorgeous Phil Noto Artwork [link]

Benefit Cosmetics is combining forces with Marvel Comics to launch a comic book inspired by Benefit’s beauty products, entitled SpyGal. Marvel assembled the team of acclaimed writer James Asmus (Uncanny X-Men, Captain America) and masterful artist Phil Noto (Batgirl, X-23) to bring SpyGal to life in this beautiful limited edition release, which will be available on Benefit Cosmetics makeup counters everywhere this month.

Obviously we’re big Phil Noto fans around here, so Marvel was kind enough to hook us up with some high resolution versions of the SpyGal promo material that was distributed last week. Check out more shots of the SpyGal comic on ComicsAlliance!
