Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 01.02.12

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 Officer Jenny, Hawkeye, Agent Dana Scully, Spider-Woman (above), and more!

90’s Storm Costume t-shirt, by Mighty Fine, $25
Available in black and white, in women’s sizes S-3XL.

Just in time for those of you who want to channel Storm for Halloween within the comfort zone of a t-shirt (or for those of you who want to add the flair of the most regal member of the X-Men to your everyday wardrobe all year round)!

90’s Rock Mystique & 90’s Rock Storm, by Mighty Fine, $25 each.

I know that these are supposed to be in the style of 90’s concert posters, but the Mystique kind of reminds me of a pulp comic cover (love!).
