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: Joanna Mari's Lady Sif!


I just had to share with you all today this incredibly badass cosplay made by an equally badass cosplayer! Hopefully you all remember Joanna Mari from previous features and the interview we had a few months ago. For Special Edition New York City, Joanna along with several other cosplayers made the armored warriors of Asgard including Angela, Valkyrie and Joanna as Lady Sif! For this cosplay, she went all out with the creation of the coolest armor I've seen in awhile. All done with Worbla and some chainmail, Joanna looks ever so fierce as the Asgardian warrior. I love how the circlet/helm looks on her with the two winged ends and the point in the middle. The pauldrons along with her wrists, have a small inclusion of chainmail which brings that elegant look to the overall cosplay.

The breastplate has a very simple design with gold outlining the edges and coming together in the center. The silver coloring along with the red gems work incredible here! There's also some leatherwork involved with her belt strap and boots. The latter is also covered in similarly made armor pieces. Draping off and along her backside is a beautiful red cape that definitely looks soft to touch. The sword looks incredible in the photos as well and I love how it was created.

Joanna has a long and curly black wig which looks lovely! The face-paint she's wearing is also menacing in some ways. The backdrop of a forest along with rocks definitely brings the whole cosplay together. Joanna wielding the sword in some of the shots makes her more than ready to take on a couple of Frost Giants! So much work was put into this cosplay and I'm in such awe that Joanna has SO much talent :D. Really hope I get to meet her at NYCC this year!
