‘Venture Bros.’ Relaunches Weekly T-Shirt Club With Season 5

By Bethany Fong

With the premiere of Season 5 of The Venture Bros. this past Sunday, show creators Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick relaunched their Shirt of the Week Club featuring limited-edition Venture Bros. apparel. In the spirit of season 5 opener “What Color Is Your Clean Suit?”, The Venture Bros. Shirt Club released two designs showcasing Rusty Venture’s poorly-moderated Palaemon Project and Hank Venture’s dubious business empire, Hank Co.

Note: I may or may not add more costumes to this list at a later date.

I would be over the moon if I ran into anyone on this list.

Any of these costumes will instantly grant the cosplayer a spot on ComicsAlliance’s Best Cosplay Ever (duh doy!).

2012 Conventions & Events

Since convention season is right around the corner, I figured that it’s about time that I posted my convention/events schedule for 2012. Be sure to let me know if you are planning to attend any of these conventions - I’d love to meet some of my fellow Tumblrettes! :D

As always, I will have my camera in tow, so if any of you are attending these conventions, you better look sharp (whether you’re attending as a cosplayer or a civilian) - your ensemble may be featured on Fashion Tips From Comic Strips!

Events listed in bold = definite attendance.
Events listed in italics = tentative.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - Dragon*Con Edition!

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 Red Sonya, the Grand Galactic Inquisitor, Dark Phoenix & Emma Frost (above), a guest appearance from Adam Hughes cosplaying Pam Poovey from Archer, and more!
