I know you were waiting for cosplay pics from last week's New York Comic Con 2012. So here they are.

This picture was found at Kotaku.com. A man, his machine... It looks like there's love in the air. (Yes, we did meet this fellow earlier this year.)

The second picture of Bare Midriff Booster, Mister Miracle, Dr. Fate, and Bare Midriff Beetle comes by way of Uproxx.com (which credits its pic to by Steven Leung at Flickr.com). As much as I love seeing Mister Miracle, something about that mask is really giving me the creeps. But I love Booster's purse!

Today's costume may be over a year old, but that doesn't make it any less deserving of our attention and admiration.

This is the costume that thomdave wore to Comic-Con International in 2011. Thomdave has posted several more pics of this awesome Smallville-inspired costume in the League of Heroes Yuku.com Forum. Better still, he gives us a breakdown of how it was made!

Jacket and Pants:
Custom tailored by Abby Polakow using navy blue and gold leather

Bracers:
Constructed from gold leather and Wonderflex by Abby Polakow

Gloves:
Generic leather gloves with a custom navy blue blend of Neopaque by Jacquard paint

Legion Flight Ring:
DC Direct

Wrist Blasters:
Constructed from Wonderflex and painted with Rust-Oleum metallic gold

Shoes:
Tucker synthetic leather shoes with custom Neopaque navy blue and true gold Lumiere by Jacquard paint

Glasses:
3M Tekk XF4 safety eyewear with the frame painted Rust-Oleum metallic gold

Now that we have a blueprint, Booster-philes, I expect to see a legion of Boosters at future conventions. (Thanks to Chris for correcting my oversight of this amazing costume.)

I can't emphasize enough how popular pics of females cosplaying as Booster Gold are here at Boosterrific. Call it pandering if you like, but here's another one:

This sultry lady is NoOfCourseNot. She cosplayed as Booster Gold during Portland, Oregon's Wonder Northwest this past May. She was kind enough to put the pics (like this one, titled "Chillen like a villain," taken by her friend Jade) up on her account at Deviant Art. If you like pretty ladies dressed as anime characters, you might want to take a look.

Last week I gave you Dragon Con. This week, I give you Baltimore Comic-Con 2012. Feast your eyes on these cosplayers:

The pic of the Blue and Gold girls on the left comes via On Wednesdays We Wear Pink, which includes this pair among favorite BCC 2012 cosplayers. It's hard to see in my pic, but that's a collared Booster Gold t-shirt in the background!

Speaking of collared Booster Gold shirts, the pic on the right comes by way of Inverse Press. You probably can't dress as Booster Gold in your workplace, but this fellow's clever update of Booster's classic costume would even be allowed on the links at your local country club! Take that, Jim Lee!

DragonCon 2012, the "world's largest fantasy/sci-fi convention," was held Labor Day weekend in Atlanta. In celebration of all the hard work that went into having so much fun at DragonCon, my fellow DC fan bloggers and I are sharing some DragonCon 2012 photos of our heroes. Of course, the photos of Booster Gold are the best.

The Booster Gal above is Shelley, and the pic comes to us courtesy The Iredeemable Shag! of FirestromFan.com. Shag normally has some great pictures of DragonCon, and this year was no exception. Better still, this year Shag introduced us to The Superhero Costuming Forum, which leads to some other great cosplay photos.

The fellow above has been cosplaying Booster Gold in his spiffy metallic costume for a few years. I guess by now he's earned enough cred to join the prestigious Legion of Super Heroes. Although, if they are going to swear in Matter Eater Lad, it looks like they'll take anybody.(Photo by KalelKara at The Superhero Costuming Forum.)

I'm not going to lie: some of these cosplayers can make the New 52 costumes look pretty good. The same cannot be said for the poor fellow who came dressed as Booster Gold. Sorry, buster, but there's just no way to make that costume shine. (Photo by KalelKara at The Superhero Costuming Forum.)

UPDATE 09/14/12: Ooops! There was at least one other Booster Gold at Dragon Con that I failed to include. Pyynk brings me to task for leaving him out of the fun. My apologies, sir. Your costume, now pictured above, is far too good to be ignored. (Photo by Bryan Humphrey.)

If you like what you've seen here, check out more cosplaying photos at these other fine sites:

Aquaman at Aquaman Shrine
Atom at Power of the Atom
Doctor Fate at Tower of Fate
Doom Patrol at My Greatest Adventure 80
Firestorm at Firestorm Fan
Flash at Speed Force
Hawkman/Hawkgirl at Being Carter Hall
Martian Manhunter at The Idol-Head of Diabolu
Wonder Woman at Diana Prince is the New Wonder Woman
Vixen and Zatanna at Justice League Detroit
and many more obscure DC heroes at DC Bloodlines

Our thanks to Shag and the great cosplayers at The Superhero Costume Forum for sharing your pics.
