MCM Comic Con cosplayers never fail to amaze me with their outfits, and hopefully next year my inspiration manifests into my own weekend pass

Cosplay is still a bit of an unknown world to me, but it's one I'd love to be more involved with. I've only ever cosplayed once, really—aside from the odd Halloween costume which I know doesn't really count—but that doesn't mean I don't try to stay as in the loop as possible.

I've seen a few Kojima cosplays across the last few months, but none of them outside of the comfort of the model's house. I'd be lying if I said this incredible cosplay didn't make me do a double take when Midas initially shared the photo. Sometimes you can't help but applaud someone for their commitment to the bit.

I also wanted to give a special shoutout to anyone who walks the hallowed convention halls of Comic Con/EGX in any sort of power armour, or generally armoured outfit for that matter. As soon as the temperature falls in the UK we love to pump the
