Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

Cosplay Feature: Angelica Dawn's Pin-Up Catwoman!

Today I wanted to (finally) show off another Arizona cosplayer who's also a member of the cosplay group "The XX Girls"! Angelica Dawn found her main love with the Assassin's Creed Franchise and still holds today having recently done another outfit for San Diego Comic Con from the franchise representing the upcoming entry AC: Unity! She also happens to be a huge comic book geek having an actual job working at a comic book shop which has to be a very fun and entertaining job (most of the time I hope). With that being said I got one of her comic book outfits being a pin up version of Catwoman from the Batman universe!

Multiple parts of this cosplay contribute to the pin-up look here. For starters, there are the black lacy stockings along with black gloves and her cowl/cap. The main bodysuit strongly gives off that corset like vibe which was definitely worn to capture that style. In all of Angelica's poses, the cap is loose on her head with goggles wrapped around it. Then of course she's acting very playful with the ball of yarn she used in some of the shots and it's both adorable and sexy which I imagine is what Angelica was going for. The heels are also a nice touch! The leggings she wears in one shot look to be leather or spandex as are her arm sleeves. They're then taken off in the remainder of the shots showing lots of skin which as I mentioned before, adds in the sexiness of Catwoman. I feel like Angelica had a lot of fun with the shoot as well as wearing this cosplay! I hope I get to meet her one day since so far I've managed to meet half of the XX Girls ^^. Enjoy the pictures guys!
