Cosplay is not just for humans anymore. Whole families dress up as their favorite heroes and villains at comicons. Now cool cats are getting in on the act and stealing the spotlight in a month of covers.
Valiant Comics is the home of Faith, Bloodshoot, X-O Manowar, the Harbinger Renegades and more. This December the claws are out as the publisher marks new territory when it comes to comic book covers. Valiant’s biggest titles will have a special bonus cover featuring costumed kitties as their ultimate heroes.
Comics Dungeon in Seattle will host the December release of this all-new line of shelf covers with a live, in-person signing featuring stars (and real felines) Fawkes and Nak, with Freyu – creator of the Cat Cosplay of the Feline Variety blog on Saturday, December 17th.
Fans can meet the stars behind the purrfect covers gracing each of Valiant’s books throughout December. You can also pose for photos and get your Valiant Cat Cosplay Covers “paw-printed” for all time by these soon to be legendary cool cats themselves.
From high-flying Faith to martial arts master Archer to super-spy Ninjak, each cosplay cover captures a cute kitty turned fierce feline pouncing into action. Each model cat will sport a custom-built costume tailor-made and photographed by the minds behind the Cat Cosplay of the Feline Variety blog.
A portion of the proceeds from all Valiant Cat Cosplay Covers sold will benefit the Brooklyn Animal Rescue Coalition (BARC), a New York-based non-profit that operates a no-kill shelter for cats and dogs in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. BARC’s mission is to provide a safe haven for abandoned animals – with quality food, shelter, medical attention, and the love they deserve – and to find permanent loving homes for them.
