A Compendium of Cool Comics Cosplay: Sidekicks Week


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 is a little different, as we’re presenting our anticipated Super Sidekicks theme week, celebrating all those heroes (and villains) who fight alongside our favorite central characters. We’d like to thank all the cosplayers and photographers who submitted pictures for our enjoyment!

So, get ready and enjoy some awesome cosplay of a variety of Robins, Aqualads and Buckys, alongside Kid Flash, Jimmy Olsen, Amadeus Cho, Query and Echo and Speedy!

Gamma Squad is committed to giving a voice to the cosplay community that thrives in groups like our friends at TheSuperheroCostumingForum.com. Each week we spotlight our favorite costumes and in addition we also host a regular cosplay contest, with the results forming a special theme week. We invite 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.

For now, enjoy this week’s selection!
