It’s time once again for our Friday comic book cosplay feature, casting the spotlight on the best comics related costumery from the cosplay community.  We’re focusing on those cosplayers who we think deserve special recognition for coming up with the best costumes, whatever the budget, and the photographers who capture them for posterity.

This week we’re celebrating the success of The Avengers by featuring some kick-ass themed cosplay. This week, all our talented cosplayers are rocking Avengers costumes, including: Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Loki, The Hulk, War Machine, Hawkeye and Thor.

Gamma Squad is committed to giving a voice to the cosplay community that thrives in groups like our friends at TheSuperheroCostumingForum.com. Each week we spotlight our favorite costumes and in addition we also host a regular cosplay contest, with the results forming a special theme week. We invite cosplayers, costumers and photographers to submit pictures of their work that relates to the theme (or any cosplay in general!) to our Flickr group to be considered. We’ll then pick our top choices and post them on Gamma Squad for the adoration of all.

Our current theme is:

• Indie and Small Press Cosplay

For now, enjoy this week’s selection!

Since we’re celebrating the Super-family, an excellent reminder that it isn’t all about Kal-El’s cousins.

The gender swapped JLA have given us a lot of milage here on Gamma Squad and for this theme we could hardly pass over two of their most prominent members.

And proving that some exceptions are made by con staff for four legged friends, as long as the costume is good enough.
