Black Bat & The Spoiler, cosplayed by Betty Felon & Ali Kay
[Boston Comic Con 2012]

At Boston Comic Con, the wonderful Nate Buchman pulled us aside from the sweltering exhibit hall to do a photoshoot in the more secluded areas of the convention center. AK and I have been wanting to cosplay Cass and Steph for a while now, and I’m still in awe that we were able to pull these costumes together before AK moved across the country. We had a great time bringing our favorite BFFs of the former DCU to life, running around the convention with our capes catching the wind.

We plan on bringing Black Bat & The Spoiler to SDCC (after a few upgrades to our costumes), so look out for us in San Diego this Summer!

Note: A super big thank you to Alex & Juli of Twin Bee, for helping us out with Black Bat’s suit and The Spoiler’s hood ♡ Aside from the boots, the rest of the costume pieces were created by me & AK.

My main goal in San Diego is to get a photo of The Spoiler with the Waffle King (the mascot of our favorite diner, The Waffle Spot).

Boston Comic Con was so much fun - we had a blast hanging out with friends, meeting some of our favorite artists, and running around in capes. I already can’t wait for next year’s show!

I’ll post a full convention report later this week, but for now, here are some teaser shots of AK & me as Spoiler & Black Bat!

FACT: AK & I kept tripping on each other’s capes

For my local civilians, keep an eye out for the Boston Comic Con 2012 commercial (featuring my crazy comic-devouring eyes). A big thank you to I Hunger Productions and Boston Comic Con for including me in this year’s TV spot!

P.S. Who else going to Boston Comic Con?
