The gallery below includes just a small selection of our favorite cosplays, submitted by you amazing, creative humans.

To submit your cosplay for our monthly web galleries or for Talks Machina’s Cosplay of the Week contest, please visit critrole.com/submit. Cosplay galleries are published on the first Monday of each month, so be sure to check back here on May 4th.

If you’ve previously submitted cosplay through our submission form, never fear: you may see your cosplay in one of our upcoming galleries.
