A Compendium Of Cool Comics Cosplay: Best Of 2012


It’s time once again for our Friday comics cosplay feature, casting the spotlight on the best comics related costumery from the cosplay community.
This week we’re doing something a little different and casting the spotlight wide to present a selection of what we think are some of the best costumes of 2012. It’s been a great year for cosplay and we could have easily featured hundreds more, but we’ve had to be selective and picked out a mere dozen from those featured during the year. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the wonderful cosplayers and photographers who’ve submitted their work throughout 2012.
So enjoy our selection from 2012, featuring some awesome cosplay of Beta Ray Bill, Ms. Marvel, The Penguin, The Hulk, Tank Girl, Xorn, Magik, Killer Croc, Squirrel Girl, Venom, Batgirl and Heimdall!
Gamma Squad is committed to giving a voice to the cosplay community that thrives in communities like our friends at 
TheSuperheroCostumingForum.com. Each week we aim to spotlight our favorite costumes and, in addition, we also host a regular cosplay contest, with the results forming a special theme week. We invite all cosplayers, costumers and photographers to submit pictures of their work that relates to the theme (or any cosplay in general!) to our Flickr group to be considered. We’ll then pick our top choices and post them on Gamma Squad for the adoration of all.
Our current theme is:

  • The Comic Book Stars of the 90s!

For now, enjoy this week’s special selection!
