It’s time for Gamma Squad’s Friday cosplay feature, spotlighting the best comic book related costuming from the cosplay community. We’re again casting the spotlight onto those cosplayers who we think deserve special recognition for coming up with the best costumes, whatever the budget, and the photographers who capture them for posterity.
This week, we’re continuing with our special Spider-man theme, showing the very best from your friendly neighborhood cosplayers from across the web, submitted to our Flickr group or by our friends at The Superhero Costuming Forum.
So, without further ado, let’s continue with this week’s selection.
