Cosplay Feature: Wumbo's Monoco!

Photo by David Ngo Happy February! I hope you had an amazing start to your new year and that you're excited to learn about the amazing cosplays that are out there for 2026. The cosplay community usually dubs the one-two punch of MAGFest & Katsucon as the kickoff for the convention season. I spent the last month or so gathering cosplays that as of today's date, all stem from the former! I also am insanely excited that many of these I'm about to share are first time write-ups for the creators themselves. Today, you get a look at Wumbo's masterful recreation of known feet lover Monoco from 2025's Game of the Year, Expedition 33! In looking at some of the photo posts on her instagram, she made all of this by herself so I don't have to worry about adding in extra creators who may have assisted with design files etc. Quick backstory, Monoco is the last party member you add to your team who's a longtime friend of Verso and gained a grasp on the English language...

Convention Flashback: PAX East 2013

Earlier this year I decided to attend PAX East and see if I could have just as much fun as I did the year before. I'll be honest, not really. I'm guessing that's because of who I met that time and it just had such a big impact on me. I did manage to see cosplayers I knew like meeting Bethany Maddock, Nicole Marie Jean and Amie Lynn and they looked absolutely incredible. I also find it funny that most of the game reveals they had I didn't take a personal interest until later. Ducktales Remastered? Shortly afterwards I'm still hoping to play it one day. More recently however I've been excited for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft which is basically a free-to-play card game online. Usually I don't play card games anymore but watching videos of this? It looks so simple and freaking amazing!!

Here are some pictures I took during the event of not only myself but a bunch of other amazing cosplays I saw while wandering the floor! Oh and I debuted my Shadow the Hedgehog gijinka which did fall apart a bit but since then I fixed him up and he's ready for NYCC 2013 :)
