Maybe the costume is like a bad omen.  Things are just not looking good for guys trying to emulate the Batman.  Just in the past couple weeks, a sweaty armpitted crusader named Mark Wayne Williams (well he got the Wayne right!), was arrested in Michigan while dangling off the side of a building at night carrying in his possession (among other concealed weapons) a baton, chemical spray and lead-lined gloves.  The 31-year-old was charged with several counts of carrying a concealed weapon, one count of carrying a gas-ejecting weapon and another count of creating a disturbance.   (Did he forget about the …

Last weekend was a Superhero convention down at the Anaheim Convention Center. It was called Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con to be exact. I got to see a bunch of cool Superhero art, and the artists behind them. Also, comic books were everywhere, as well as toys, funky hats, and cool robots. Dedicated cosplayers also came out to show their support for their favorite Superheroes. An event like this is best captured in photos, so Enjoy!

An interesting video of fellow-nerds, back in 73.

Video:

I skipped through the interviews with the guys behind the show. I found the cosplayers more appealing.…

Ame-comi is a DC Direct action figure line consisting of female characters influenced by Japanese anime.  I have one figure from the line, Wonder Woman.  At $50 per figure and rising, they’re not cheap.  I thought this line wasn’t popular because most toy messageboards I frequent, don’t like the line.  The collector’s think it’s overpriced, while the hardcore anime fans think that it doesn’t represent manga very well.

So it was a surprise to me that 3 of the character’s costumes will be sold exclusively online at Costume Craze.  Wonder Woman, Catwoman and Supergirl will be available in the summer …

Alodia Gosiengfiao is a 22 cosplayer from the Phillipines.  In an interview with Razor TV, she said she started cosplaying when it wasn’t socially approved.  But this hot nerd kept on truckin until she won several cosplay events and became well known in the community.  While she enjoys cosplaying, she admits that some of the comments from the Anime community can be a bit much:

“I got called fat, so I lost weight afterwards.”

Today Gosiengfiao is the most famous cosplayer in Phillipines.  She even has a TV show called Laugh Out Loud.

Asked if she gives out her number …

Meet Annissë.  She’s been cosplaying for more than a decade and she’s also a professional self trained fashion and costume designer for 20 years.  She likes making her costumes out of latex.  So when she saw a pic of Quorra from Tron Legacy, she knew she had to that costume.  I first saw a pic of  Annissë through Ejen Chuang’s Cosplay In America.  After I saw the awesome pic, I knew I had to track her down and ask her about the costume.  Not only does she look like good as Quorra but the freaking lights in her costume …

It looks like the TV show might become a reality now that NBC has given David E. Kelley (Harry’s Law) the go-ahead to shoot the pilot.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kelley says he has a “smart script” and that the character will be “a real complex woman and not just a superhero.”  I remember the original Wonder Woman TV show.  Linda Carter rocked the costume.

Nothing yet about who will play the patriotic albeit scantily clad superheress or whether she’ll be wearing the new costume from the comics.  Will it be someone well-known or a new discovery?  …
