That Saga Cosplay You Never Thought You’d See

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:20 am, December 11th, 2012

The universe of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples’ Saga is populated with some pretty interesting characters. We were thrilled to see one standout cosplayed at New York Comic Con this past October but we never thought we’d see someone successfully cosplay Izabel. But here we are. Tumblr user The Inkblog Blunder is the magician who pulled it off. Hit the jump for a (semi-gross) shot of the character for comparison, plus another of the cosplay itself.

Redditor rdt156 snapped this picture of his buddy’s Halloween costume, which was put together in three days. I bet the baby’s costume took even longer! According to rdt156, “She was super content.

Psychology of Cosplay [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:45 pm, October 26th, 2012

When I found out I was on a panel set for 9 p.m. Friday night of New York Comic Con I figured it would be the panelists and ten of our friends. Much to my surprise, it was standing room only to hear psychologists Robin Rosenberg and Andrea Letamendi and cosplayers Holly Conrad, Bill Doran, and yours truly talk about the psychology behind cosplay and cosplayers. Moderator Jenna Busch helped lead us through some interesting statistics on the people who do it, how much time and money they spend on their costumes, and the reactions of those outside the geek community. Thanks to Lawrence Brenner for videotaping the hour-long panel!
