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...

Black Cat is arguably one of the most common cosplays I see created amongst all the cosplayers I follow. In fact several ladies who have been featured on these days have done Black Cat at some point in their cosplay run. One of my favorites has to be Riki's version. Riki (who also goes by her FB page name Riddle) is another Atlanta based cosplayer who was also a part of the show Heroes Of Cosplay. She strives to be a professional prop maker which is definitely seen in some of her past outfits such as her HellGirl seen in the show.

What I love about her Black Cat not only stems from the fact that it's amazingly crafted but the photos taken of her in it definitely captures the essence of the character. These include her casually unzipping the corset as if she's going to relax, making seductive faces and just being plain sexy (yea I said it). All these things are definitely what comes to mind when I think Black Cat cause I imagine that's how she's supposed to act in the comics. Don't believe me? Take a look at the pictures I got for you to look at! Riki nails it so perfectly and I'm very much looking forward to more of her outfits, oh and I get to meet her at an upcoming convention this year so I'm very excited :D
