With Halloween around the corner, there’s more than a few movie festivals going on around the world that are proving that every town does indeed have an Elm Street. For the recent birthday screening of Nightmare On Elm Street 2 for lead actor Mark Patton at Fantastic Fest, the organisers wanted to do something special for the man of the hour, which resulted in a call being made to SideSerf Cake Studio to whip up a dream treat.

After two years, countless hours and a ton of elbow grease, one dedicated cosplayer has managed to craft the fabled XE suit from Batman: Arkham Origins.

Sweet cash prizes and the honour of winning one of South Africa’s traditionally most prestigious cosplay competitions drew cosplayers to rAge Expo 2019. Here are all the year’s big winners as well as a selection of other cosplay pics from the three-day event.

Taking place literally three days after Comic Con Africa, it was always going to be interesting to see how rAge 2019 fared. Was the expo’s electronic gaming offering distinct enough to draw in its own audience or would attendees’ con fatigue be real? Here’s how things panned out.

Even with a huge gallery to share, I’ve got a feeling that we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of the cosplay majesty that was on offer. So here it is, the 2019 Comic Con Africa cosplay gallery!

Here are all the top performers from the Comic Con Africa 2019 Championships of Cosplay, including the overall winner, who will be representing South Africa at the Crown Championships of Cosplay at C2E2 next year. Never say South African cosplay isn't world-class.

We came, we saw and we cosplayed. Here's what the Critical Hit gang thinks of this year's Comic Con Africa.

Comic Con Africa 2019 was massive, the attractions were many and the cosplay game was on point! If you were looking to have your weekend need for video games, comic books and listening to William Shatner spin a few amazing tales while on stage, then Comic Con Africa must have felt like home for those four glorious days that it was active for.

At some point, Hollywood costume designers embraced the black suit and tie as on-screen shorthand for simultaneously smart and cool. Turns out, the look is also extremely handy for wannabe cosplayers who want to dress up for a con with little effort required.

Next weekend, the second now annualised Comic Con Africa kicks off, and fans are excited to attend, and mingle with the stars. Unfortunately, it seems a few of those stars are pulling out.

With a Judas Effect at the last minute, All Elite Wrestling had its champion. So how did Chris Jericho celebrate? The only way he knew how: By confirming that he has to live in a reality where he’s surrounded by idiots and by partaking in a little bit of the bubbly.

PornWikiLeaks has been home to a hive of scum who’ve made it their life mission to dox adult industry performers for kicks. One of the biggest names in pornography, BangBros, had clearly had enough of this and so the minds behind the brand hatched a plan to purchase PornWikiLeaks according to AVN. And then they burnt it to the ground. Literally.
