Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and  sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving  community of costuming that exists today and cosplay communities such as Cosplay.com and the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve  displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and  sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever  (This Week), a weekly collection of some of the most impeccable,  creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into our own  super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.
