Once again it’s time for our Friday comics cosplay feature, casting the spotlight on the best comics related costumery from the cosplay community. As always, we’re focusing on those cosplayers who we think deserve special recognition for their hard work creating the best costumes, whatever their budget, and also the work of those photographers who capture them for posterity.
This week we’re presenting a special seasonal bumper edition, spotlighting some of the best cosplay of the year. 2013’s produced some amazing costumes – so much that we couldn’t pack it all into a single week, so sit back and enjoy the first part of our selection, with characters including:
The Thing, Wonder Woman, Kang the Conquerer, Wolfsbane, Cyborg, Rogue, Man-Bat, Loki, Leah, Wolverine, Catwoman, Mystique, Juggernaut, Red Sonja, Captain Marvel and Mister Mxyzptlk!
And if you missed last week’s retrospective, never fear. You can still check it out here.
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:
- Elseworlds and What Ifs..!
For now, enjoy this week’s selection.
