New York Comic Con 2022 LIVE — Jack Black surprises fans as Super Mario Bros teaser drops – full schedule & livestream

An ‘addiction’ for some

Cosplayer Matthew Baus commissions his cosplay from other artists. Today, he dressed as Zed from League of Legends.

“I usually commission just cause I’m not as crafty – I have a huge respect for the arts, so I don’t mind paying,” the fan said.

Matthew says the most he’s spent on a piece was around $2,700 to dress as Bloodhound from Apex – complete with LED lights.

“Being able to connect with people and represent the character means a lot. When you’re dressing as the character, you can kind of make a community with people.”

“I’ve been coming to Comic Con since 2018. I just like to come and people watch all the cosplays, that’s really what got me into cosplaying myself.

“My first year here I went in regular clothes and I decided that I want to do that too. It’s been an addiction ever since.”
