Cosplayers by Dash Shaw

2.0

Quirky. Some fun moments but the main characters are a little mean-spirited and manipulative. I like the episodic stories and some parts feel like they're going to touch on something deeper, fanboys projecting personalities/creating romance where there is none onto cosplayers, feeling aimless, being a black(?/ Verti appears to be black, but idk) person/minority in the cosplay/anime community, and the seedy side of the film industry

(I really thought it was going to go there with the Hulu project. Maybe I'm glad it didn't. At first, just the way the producer guy came about was a little creepy...)

A simultaneously enjoyable (for its craft) and painful (for its characters) read. It’s basically Ghost World: The Next Generation.
