FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Best New York Comic Con Cosplay Ever!

As you know from our weekly Best Cosplay Ever feature, we are big fans of cosplay at ComicsAlliance. The comics, sci-fi, gaming and fantasy communities’ talents for homemade disguises, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics are definitely on display this weekend at New York Comic Con, and you’d better believe our own Betty Felon is on hand to document as much as she can. Click after the cut for some exceptional examples of superheroic cosplaying talent that we spotted in New York!

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 05.07.12

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 Mystique, Diablo III Demon Hunter, Guy Gardner, Marshall Lee & Prince Gumball (above), and more!

Sartorialist Meets Superhero: Guy and Tora heat up (cool down?) the room together.

I know I’m a day early but it seemed appropriate to submit these guys together and wish everyone a Happy ~~Discount Chocolate~~ Valentine’s Day.

I simply cannot get over how much I love the contrasting bold black details on Tora’s ice blue coat. Guy Gardner’s ensemble is classy and simple, but I can’t help but want to switch his jacket for a modern black motorcycle-cut jacket.
