Cosplay Feature: RiderCGA's King Daredevil!

Photo by Chazzy Baragiola The combination of being snowed in from the blizzard this past week PLUS being hooked hard into Cyberpunk 2077 made this post about a day late. Apologies for the delay but let's get started! I came across RiderCGA's awesome Daredevil during my collection of MAGFest pics so this is probably the last one for that specific convention. As you'll see from the images I found, Rider has a really awesome look/take on the Man Without Fear. Further research indicates that this is known as King Daredevil and is the title Matt Murdock took during a run back in 2022! Starting from the top, you can see a lot of red and black went into this look for the character. The top includes a red hood that hides just about the top of the mask the character is well known for. Small peek at the horns too!

Cosplay Feature: Abby Dark Star's Lara Croft!

The minute I saw this cosplay that Abby Dark Star created, I automatically wanted to gush about how incredible she looks in it. Also I found out that the latest Tomb Raider game came out last Tuesday! WHAT TIMING! You can't deny that Abby matches Lara Croft's iconic look which made her become an infamous female character in gaming. I really love how the cosplay looks overall. She shows confidence that she can kick anyone's butt any day. This being Lara's default outfit, Abby has on a green tank top with brown shorts. The shorts are decorated with various straps which hold holsters for her twin pistols you see in her hands. There's also a backpack being worn and combat boots it looks like as well. The belt has a golden buckle in the middle which you can see more clearly in the photos below.

You may have noticed that the top looks fairly different. Almost as if it was painted on Abby. Nope, more like latex! This top was done by Vengeance Designs so my guess would be custom made? The balance/construction of the outfit was done cooperatively between Abby and her awesome husband Zen. This style of Lara while her classic look, is apparently also based on the comic version drawn by Adam Hughes!

The poses pretty much are spot on as well. Capturing that Tomb Raider, Abby managed to have pictures taken in fantastic locations. Such as the photo on the left where she's in an action pose leaning off a construction vehicle. There's some of her with the pistols pointed and ready to wreak havoc as she raids tombs for treasure. I love the brown wig and sunglasses Abby has on. Both of which look great on her and matches Lara's look to an uncanny resemblance. Hope you guys enjoy the other pictures I have to share!

If you haven't checked out Abby Dark Star's page, I highly recommend you do so. On top of being incredibly talented, she's very active/responsive on her page provided of course you leave respectful comments. At the moment, Abby is slowly working on a badass Red Sonja cosplay (which you can help donate to in her store below!) so I'm very much looking forward to that being completed. I hope I get to meet her one day :D
