Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 03.18.13
By Bethany Fong
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 communities of costuming that exist, such as Cosplay.comand 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), an ongoing collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into a super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.
Check out this week’s Best Cosplay Ever on ComicsAlliance!

AND I LIKE IT.
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.
Avengers redesigns (Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, & Loki), by gingerhaze.
I love how simple and casual these looks are - Noelle translated the key elements of each costume into stylish, layered outfits (especially in Thor and Loki’s looks). For those of you who feel like dressing up in spirit for The Avengers this weekend (but don’t fancy wearing anything too costume-y), this is a great guide as to how to pull styling inspiration from The Avengers to assemble your own cute ensemble.
Also, is it just me or does Captain America’s motorcycle jacket kind of remind you of Volante Designs’ Captain America Jacket?
