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!
I mentioned multiple times on here since rooming with her at Katsucon, that Anya Braddock is a gorgeous sweetheart who I treasure dearly. Last night I managed to do a video interview with her and I couldn't be more happier with the outcome. You're guaranteed to laugh at least once during the whole thing as I dive into Anya's cosplay life. Classifying herself as the black sheep when it came to liking nerdy things growing up around her family, Anya was definitely fascinated by cosplay. Finding people dressing up as Sailor Moon characters wowed her to the point where she wanted to do this for herself! In this interview, you'll get a peek into Anya's style with her dozens upon dozens of bodysuits and bikini cosplays for ColossalCon. Whether it's Zero Suit Samus or Bikini Widowmaker, Anya certainly has covered a wide variety of characters.
From initially being all anime and a weeb (as most anime fans are), she soon dove into the gaming side of cosplays along with dabbling in some comic book characters here and there. With Kingdom Hearts 3 being on the horizon, she mentions she has a backlog of games to finish. Just have to get through not playing Overwatch and LoL, that's all! We both take a look at how Katsucon was for us, her cosplays she brought, and the cursed Panther tail that eventually broke later on. RIP Takamaki tail.

Every time I do a cosplayer interview in video format, I love each of them for their own reason. No way could I ever pick a favorite! I definitely can't remember if there was one where I laughed as much as I did with Anya. Her personality and smile just light up the room and seriously can't wait to see her at another convention. Her all pink attire for the interview, doubling back on questions to give me even more answers, tales of the cursed image, this was just lots of fun for me to do. I hope you all sincerely enjoy the video. Buckle up too, it's a long one ;)
