Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 06.04.12

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 Red Robin, Dazzler, Mystique, Chihiro & Haku (above), and more!

Side note: Sorry for the slight delay - I was out of town for the past few days for the Boyfriend Wonder’s birthday!

The Avengers, by kaciart.

All of these Avengers-inspired ensembles hit the right notes, perfectly capturing the key elements of each hero’s look, such as the minimal designs in The Hulk and Hawkeye’s outfits and the structured, tailored digs on Iron Man.

In short, kaciart is definitely delivering some straight-up Avengers REALNESS in here.

Black Widow Tank Top, $13.80, Forever 21
