July & August were big months with convention season in full swing! With, of course, San Diego Comic-Con being the big event, we saw so many amazing costumes, plus Otakon in Baltimore, and EVEN MORE photos from HeroesCon (Shhh, I know it was in June!) and cosplay photos sent into my blog! Not to mention a gathering of Cosplayers for the filming of this season's finale for Cake Boss on TLC!

This past weekend, with the help of Midtown Comics, we gathered a group of cosplayers on a rooftop in Midtown New York to celebrate Spider-Man's 50th Anniversary with TLC's Cake Boss.

Plus, Jay Tablante has sent along some new AMAZING photos!

Also, make sure to swing over to Marvel's Facebook page the bi-weekly Avengers Vs. X-Men Cosplay Heroes Challenge! Every other week we feature a battle between two AvX Cosplayers. This week's battle is between Spider-Woman and Phoenix Five Magik!
