New York Comic Con 2014 came and went in the blink of an eye. It's funny because I remember all the times I went to Comic Con it seemed so long because of all the preparation before hand. See, I always cosplay. I usually dress up 3 out of 4 days minimum. All the makeup, hair, props, making sure things aren't going to fall apart on me etc. It takes a lot of work. This isn't Halloween folks, It's New York Freaken Comic Con! A lot of thought goes behind these costumes. These cosplayers are more than just dressed up, they're actors.

The only New York Comic Con I didn't dress up for was my very first one. I was about 17.... after that I was hooked. I remember going down the aisles at 17 (A young and cute little Nubia) looking at all the booths and enjoying the art of creativity left and right thinking WOW, this is awesome. The cosplayers were a plus back in the day. It's was a magical little moment and the vibe back then was just SO COOL. Comic Con wasn't as packed and popular as it is now so it felt even more special. Don't get me wrong, things are still awesome now but a lot has changed in 10 years, A LOT.

Anyway moving on, our awesome friend and photographer Theresa Taylor went behind her lens to show us some of the great costumes people cooked up this year. Enjoy!
