There was a lot of quality cosplay at this year’s New York Comic Con, but perhaps the most impressive of all was this enormous Bumblebee outfit that despite its size was still able to walk its way across the showroom floor.

An all-star lineup of cosplayers, photographers and videographers have teamed up to imagine what it would look like if the stars of Sailor Moon had a more adult photoshoot.

The New York Comic Con has gotten so big over the years that it’s now one of the biggest nerd shows on the planet. And where there’s big nerd shows, there’s A+ cosplay.

This Nova outfit (technically Heroes of the Storm cosplay, since this is a skin from that game for the StarCraft character), by Kamui, doesn’t just look good as is. It also lights up like a Blizzard-themed Christmas tree, with some of the most impressive cosplay engineering work I’ve ever seen.

Alyson Tabbitha, a regular around here for her astounding make-up and costume work, returns with this temporary diversion where she ceases to be a human cosplayer and becomes an Amazonian ass-kicker.

Luke Plunkett is on holiday, which means I must carry the torch of posting cool Witcher 3 cosplay in his absence. It is a terrible burden.

If you still can’t decide whether McCree’s Summer Games beach skin is hot or not, cosplayer Leon Chiro is here to help.

That’s not a specific character. It’s a suit of armour made entirely out of Magic cards.

Impact Props is to thank for this Ace of Spades hand cannon, part of a gift from Bungie for actor Nathan Fillion, the man behind Destiny’s Cayde-6.

Solaire approaches a battle against a lightsaber the same way he approaches a battle against anyone else.

Here’s the latest effort from the Portland Superheroes Coalition: a complete, life-size recreation of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, the house band for The Muppet Show.

Every summer for the past few years a horde of cosplayers and photographers have descended on the picturesque Polish town of Wleń in the Bóbr Valley. They’re not there for a comic con or games expo, not for any convention like you and I know it. It’s an invite-only event, just a handpicked selection of photographers…

While Nier Automata’s 2B has been the undisputed cosplay star of 2017, she’s not the only character being featured from the game. Here’s PretzelBot with an incredible effort recreating one of the game’s robots.
