While Pakistan does not have big ComicCon-like events, that does not stop\u00a0fans from dressing up as their favorite characters AKA cosplay.\u00a0This weekend, the geeky crowd turned up in droves for TwinCon’19 in Islamabad.<\/p>\n

Cosplay, anime and movie characters, we saw it all.<\/p>\n

The cosplay scene is really picking up in Pakistan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TwinCon’19, which was held on February 10, catered to a massive crowd of over 5000 anime fans and cosplayers. These fans swarmed in from all across Pakistan for the event.<\/p>\n

Even though the cosplay scene is not that big in Pakistan the attendees of the event did not disappoint. The costumes really were true to cosplay and kwai\u00a0<\/em>(anime cosplay). Here are some of the best looks.<\/p>\n

TwinCon’19 Cosplay<\/h2>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

This guy decided to go with Jared Leto’s ‘Joker’. He even has the abs to go with the look, gansta\u00a0chic.<\/p>\n

\"Cosplayers<\/p>\n

Harley was with another Joker though.<\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Of course, we’re never getting over Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack\u00a0Sparrow or the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. This cosplayer looks cleaner though.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He may be green with mischief but this Loki costume has us green with envy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Looks like someone came in from Mordor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

This looks like Deadpool, Daredevil and Batman had a child. Call me old but who is this guy?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayers<\/p>\n

Marvel vs DC again.I for one am rooting for that lil’ Superman.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Wolverine never really did like his X-men uniform, and this one’s keeping it casual.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Who’s side is Dr. Strange on, Marvel or DC? (True Believers already know the answer!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Anime<\/p>\n

\"Anime<\/p>\n

There were some anime cosplayers at TwinCon’19 after all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Anime<\/p>\n

This lady even brought her own monsters, dragons, whatever these are (sorry I’m a millennial).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Is she She-ra the Princess of Power, or an anime character?? Looks Kwai.<\/p>\n

\"Anime<\/p>\n

Major cosplay envy and kwai goals.<\/p>\n

\"Anime<\/p>\n

Who’s this bunny? The one from Alice in Wonderland?<\/p>\n

\"Cute<\/p>\n

We’ve gotta admit Kwai is cute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"Grim<\/p>\n

\"Gothic<\/p>\n

A good time doesn’t need a character label.<\/p>\n

\"Grim<\/p>\n

All this hype even had the Grim Reaper and come attend the event for ‘herself. Yeah, the Grim Reaper is a girl.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

Cosplay is never complete without Star Wars. Hey, Vader!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"God<\/p>\n

There was a Spartan in the midst too. Oh boy…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Kakashi<\/p>\n

We’ll never get to see what Kakashi\u00a0Sensei looks like.<\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

This looks like it belongs at a modern art museum more than a cosplay event…stunning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Cosplayers<\/p>\n

Are these two sisters? Sister goals it is then.<\/p>\n

\"Cosplayer<\/p>\n

TwinCon’19 in Islamabad<\/h3>\n

Surprisingly this is not the first cosplay event in Islamabad. The TwinCon has been held four times before in the capital city.<\/p>\n

The TwinCon’19 was held in Aura Grande Enclave, E-11. Besides the cosplay, the event had collectibles, books, comics and other stuff that attendees could buy. There was food too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
