NYComicCon 2016 Report

What can I say?
Comic Con was amazing. I got to use 3 out of my 4 days and I got to stretch my cosplay muscles tremendously. There were some low points in the weekend though. On Thursday and Friday I got conscripted to work, despite having booked those days off because people didn’t show up. Saturday, I went in late because the Brainac/Lex make up took much longer than I anticipated.
People not getting that I was doing Go Koga cosplay until I told them (most people insisted that I was Bebop, which made mw facepalm) and the lack of Bleach Cosplayers this year left me somewhat disheartened. I was similarly disappointed at the low turn out of Superman Cosplayers. I got a much bigger response last year but the bottom line is I had fun. Though it seems that no matter what fandom I cosplay from- finding others from that fandom on the day that I am doing said cosplay seems to be impossible.
Who knew my timing sucked so badly?
Still…
On Friday, I got to battle the most amazing Psylocke. On Saturday there was outstanding Praise for my Lex/Brainiac cosplay (especially at the after party as I took first and second place in tow cosplay contests) And the amazing thing that happened on my Sunday Cosplay was the best thing that’s happened to me at a con! I met CHRIS CLAREMONT!
And he signed my Non-Cosplay Cosplay!
Thing is, that I couldn’t get my Galaxy 7 cosplay to work… (The one Galaxy 7 in the world that wont blow up >.>) Because of the heavy rain, and an embarrassing (yet sexy “easy access”) rip in my pants I couldn’t do Lex/ Brainac again. My I couldn’t find the stuff I needed for my Bishop Cosplay (and met an amazing couple doing classic/Gold Team Bishop Cosplay) and since a few cosplay things I had considered wouldn’t work, I was bummed out. I considered not going. Hell, I couldn’t even do L because there was no way I was walking around Javits in Bare feet.
Out of desperation and genius I grabbed a Tshirt and wrote “404 Error COSPLAY NOT FOUND Contact ADMIN for Help.” I was amazed at how many people loved it.
I was even more amazed that Chris Claremont loved it and agreed to sign it! This goes right up there with meeting Austin St. John, Nichelle Nichols and Linda Ballantyne in the same day lat year at Wintercon!
I got pix!
So what should my next Cosplay be?
I have a severe urge to get a wedding dress and a jewel and make a sword and a shield and Lion and cosplay Rose Quartz
But I don’t know… what do you guys think?
Would I make a good Rose? Who do you want to see me do next?
