Phoenix Comicon 2014: Best of video game cosplay

June 9, 2014

Classic Dungeons & Dragons back in print! - Available now @ Dungeon Masters Guild

Although this years’ Phoenix Comicon was a little light on gaming related guests in comparison to the last one, that didn’t stop cosplayers from turning out in droves to represent their favorite characters from video games. From Street Fighter to Titanfall, here are the most notable video gaming cosplays we spotted at Phoenix Comicon 2014.
