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.

Hipster Cyclops & Hipster Phoenix, by Joel Carroll[Inspired by Nate Bellgarde’s recent X-Hipsters!]
Okay, I kind of really dig these a lot, specifically:
the X-Men zipper pulls
Scott’s black x yellow striped top
Jean’s yellow cat-eyed glasses, in place of her mask
double belts
yellow matching funky, chunky kicks
Also, I really love how Scott’s visor works into this redesign quite impeccably.

Sign O’ the Phoenix t-shirt, by Mighty Fine, $25
Available in Phoenix (green), Dark Phoenix (red), and White Phoenix of the Crown (white), in women’s sizes S-3XL.

This shirt is utter perfection; the silhouette of Jean Grey within the Phoenix symbol is simple and chic, and I love that this shirt is available in every incarnation of Phoenix. Personally, I’m quite partial the the classic green Phoenix look.

But more importantly: Which Phoenix are you?

Phoenix Nouveau t-shirt, by Megan Lara & Mighty Fine, $25.
I’m pretty much in love with all of Megan Lara’s artwork, especially her Alphonse Mucha-inspired renditions of some of the fiercest ladies of the X-Men, so I was pretty psyched to find out that Mighty Fine put her gorgeous art onto t-shirts:

Mighty Fine is currently holding a contest for fans to guess which X-Men lady will become Megan’s next art nouveau muse: THREE (3) runner-up winners will get their choice of one of the three t-shirt designs, while ONE (1) grand prize winner will get all three t-shirts! Head over to Mighty Fine to enter the contest! :D
Personally, I’m really hoping that Kitty Pryde and Lockheed will be the next shirt, however, I have a feeling that the next design will probably be Storm…
