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.

Batman Hot Pants 3 Pack, $19.50, Hot Topic. This set of Bat-unmentionables offers everything that you could ever want from a pair of super-skivvies: studs, glow-in-the-dark Bat-symbols, and trompe-l’oeil utility belts. One could only hope that these undies also prevent VPL under a Kevlar-lined bodysuit…

Black Bat & The Spoiler, cosplayed by Betty Felon & Ali Kay
[Boston Comic Con 2012]

At Boston Comic Con, the wonderful Nate Buchman pulled us aside from the sweltering exhibit hall to do a photoshoot in the more secluded areas of the convention center. AK and I have been wanting to cosplay Cass and Steph for a while now, and I’m still in awe that we were able to pull these costumes together before AK moved across the country. We had a great time bringing our favorite BFFs of the former DCU to life, running around the convention with our capes catching the wind.

We plan on bringing Black Bat & The Spoiler to SDCC (after a few upgrades to our costumes), so look out for us in San Diego this Summer!

Note: A super big thank you to Alex & Juli of Twin Bee, for helping us out with Black Bat’s suit and The Spoiler’s hood ♡ Aside from the boots, the rest of the costume pieces were created by me & AK.

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!

Harley Quinn Dolman Top, $24.50, Hot Topic. Holy moly, I nearly plotzed when I saw this shirt! I love the loose, modern cut of this top, plus it’s free of cheesy slogans that are often slapped onto comic tees for ladies.

In regards to my most frequently asked question. Until DC Comics takes a hint, please refer to my lingerie tag [located in my Style Index, which conveniently sorts my posts by comic, character, and apparel] for comic-related unmentionables :)
