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 communities of costuming that exist, such as Cosplay.comand 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), an ongoing collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into a super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.
Some photos from Comicazi’s Not-The-Boston-Comic-Con Get-Together this past Saturday.

Best Art Ever (This Week) - 01.18.13
By Andy Khouri
We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great images on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we’ve created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it’s new, some of it’s old, some of it’s created by working professionals, some of it’s created by future stars, some of it’s created by talented fans, and some of it’s endearingly silly. All of it’s awesome.

For those of us used to spending their work days… and much of their free time… in the digital space, Finn and Jake’s predicament in Adventure Time #14 may be an all-too-familiar plight. Life in the Land of Ooo has its upsides, however, as punching monsters and singing songs tend to alleviate AT’s protagonists’ various predicaments, whereas you and I would probably just have to harsh our renter’s insurance premiums to “escape” from a digital realm by smashing everything we own with a screen on it and ripping a wifi router from the wall. Fans will just have to trust Ryan North, Shelli Paroline and Braden lamb to keep AT’s more entertaining trend alive and buzzing when the new issue arrives in March.
In the meantime, we can all look at the issue’s four funtastic covers by Mike Holmes, Jason Ho, Liz Prince and Ming Doyle (above). Check ‘em out on ComicsAlliance!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/987f300c744f98bba81ba2c23c603e45/tumblr_mexmj5haF51qcw9rdo1_500.jpg)
