It’s time once again for our Friday comic book cosplay feature, spotlighting the best superhero (and villain) related costuming from the cosplay community.  We’re casting the spotlight onto 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.

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 each month we host a cosplay contest. We’ll be picking a theme for each month and inviting cosplayers, costumers and photographers to submit related pictures of their work 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.

The theme for the upcoming month is:

• Super Villains and Diabolical Foes
  

For now, enjoy this week’s selection!

With “X-Men: First Class” coming out this week I thought we could all use a dose of X-Men cosplay. I tried to find one great costume for each character, but if you know of a great costume for an X-Men member that is missing, don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments.

You don’t happen to be the biggest X-Men fan in the world, do you? Because if so, we are currently hosting a contest.

Are you a cosplayer or cosplay photographer who would like to be featured on Gamma Squad? Upload your photos to our Flickr group to be considered.
