    The Best Cosplay Costumes of New York Comic-con

    That cosplaying is a matter of course for comics and sci-fi/fantasy conventions is irritating to some, but we at ComicsAlliance feel only love for those most enthusiastic of fans who replicate (often at great expense) the frequently impossible ensembles of their favorite superheroes and villains and model them for our cameras at the nation's biggest events. New York Comic Con was a success on many levels, but the cosplaying at the 2010 show was in a class of its own. Well done to everyone who fiercely strutted their super stuff, and our great thanks to Jim Kiernan for the excellent photographs.
