My Yennefer of Vengerberg alternate outfit cosplay is here. She’s not finished, but she’s together enough to wear at MAGfest 2020. I look forward to adding more details for future conventions.

Only went to one day of New York Comic Con, and of course, cosplayer my ever-favorite, Vanessa Ives from Penny Dreadful.

Recently I was a live model for a cosplay Drink and Draw event at a local Brooklyn nerd-themed bar as classic Black Widow. It's been forever since I wore Natasha, and it was fun to rep my favorite comic book character. I may be around again at the same event as Vanessa Ives some time in the future.

I ADORE your Lucille cosplay! I hope to be Lucille at my next possible opportunity bc I JUST missed being able to be her for Halloween last year and haven't been to any cons since. Yours is one of the best I've seen 💕

Thank you so much, that's very sweet of you!💀🌹I put a lot of heart into that costume and I want to re-vamp it soon.Absolutely cosplay Lucille as soon as you have the chance. Soon it'll be a year since the movie, and Halloween costume time again, or you can make the costume for the next time you have an opportunity to cosplay and do a photoshoot.

And finally, my favorite picture I have of Lucille from AnimeNext. Thank you so much, Anna.

I was Lady Lucille Sharpe on Friday and Sunday of AnimeNext 2016.

Someone who recognized the character called this costume “The Nightgown Knife Party” and I think that’s really apt.

A really cool thing happened at New York Comic Con this weekend. I attended the Women of Marvel panel on Sunday. I love hearing from Marvel’s lady creators and what they have to say about what’s to come of the lady-led titles in the future. The Women of Marvel panel at NYCC in 2013 really helped me get into comics, as before that, I didn’t quite know where to start, and felt like I didn’t really have a place in that fandom.

Well, fast-forward two years, and I’m at the panel again (missed it last year D:) in cosplay as Natalia Romanova, the Black Widow, ready with my questions. In the past, I felt I wasn’t “well-versed” enough to ask questions, as if you had to earn the right to be curious about something. I got that vibe off of how women who read comics are treated by male readers…the “fake geek girl” myth. Anyway, so I’m very excited because Black Widow Forever Red is coming out, and Red Widow was just introduced as a character in Mockingbird, and I want to ask things about them. When the floor is open for questions, I get in line, and I’m getting a little nervous as I get closer and closer to the mic. Confession: I’ve never asked anything at a panel. I have always felt like I didn’t know enough to present one.

It’s my turn to ask, so I start off sort of with a joke. I ask the audience where the heck our Black Widow movie is (it’s funny because I’m dressed as Natasha). And while I’m preoccupied with laughing at my own joke, @margaretstohl who is dressed as Red Widow, runs up to give me a hug and a copy of the book. At this point, I’m STUNNED…nothing like this has happened to me at a convention before. I’m surprised I even managed to ask my questions but I did, and afterward we got a pic of us as the two widows.

Anyway, I’m so excited to read this book. I’m always looking for more Black Widow content, especially stories that can give us a deep look into her character. And I feel a novel is the best way to do that. Lol if you look at the movie versions of books, they are never quite as good, because things inevitably are cut out of simplified. Literature has been a lifelong love, and the basis of my nerd-ing before comics were even in the picture.

Thanks so much to all the women involved with Marvel comics, to everyone at the panel, and to Margaret for surprising the hell out of me. Tbh I’m still in shock.

Oh, hey, you’re the awesome person who asked that? I was wondering!

Thanks for fighting the good fight, and thanks for prompting @margaretstohl‘s answer, which is that they hear us on social media and it matters.

Between Black Widow: Forever Red (in stores tomorrow!), Black Widow II, and Captain Marvel, Marvel is clearly using the YA market as a way to gauge how much fans’ vocal support of female characters extends to using our purchasing power. It’s up to all of us to make sure they hear the message as loud and clear as you spoke at the con.

[m1lfthara]

ALL ABOARD THE BLACK WIDOW AND CAPTAIN MARVEL HYPE TRAIN.

As far as purchasing power goes, that's something that a lot of young people (and people in general) are limited in. Many people, myself included, have to really pick and choose which titles to actually buy. I try to spend my money where it will matter the most, like supporting the more diverse books in the Marvel universe.

But there are many free ways in which to give support, like the #wewantwidow hashtag, and other internet-based hype to make sure your voice is heard.
