Cosplayers

This graphic novel is an ode to the defining element of fandom. It celebrates both the cultures theatricality and D.I.Y. beauty?as well as its often-awkward conflation of fantasy with reality?in seven interconnected short stories about two young women. Cosplayers is an affectionate, funny book about how fandom can be much more inclusive and humanistic than the stories and characters it's built upon.

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I was expecting something in the vein of Fan Girl's Guide to the Galaxy, but it had much more in common with Ghost World. (Really, that just goes to show how little I knew about the creator - going into the book, all I knew was that he's the same age as me). #litsyreadingchallenge #authormyage

Cosplayers feels like a modern Ghost World at times but it adds a layer of subtext about comics/anime culture's generational shift, with two young female fans sharing a world with older men who revere their own opinions. #comics #anime

Interesting graphic novel of interconnected short pieces about to women cosplayers. Very Chris Ware/Daniel Clowes in tone.
