@MATT_WISEGUY is our Cosplay of the Week Winner. Here's an interview with MOON KNIGHT himself:
What motivated you to do this cosplay?
Moon Knight/Mr.Knight has always drawn my intention as a character. Even more so because of some of the awesome artwork from artists like Bill Sienkiewicz and Davind Finch really got me interested in making the costumes. He has such a unique design and what the artists have done just drove me to see it in real life! What is the best and worst part of this cosplay? Obviously the best part is seeing Moon Knight fans reaction to seeing the character in real life. Moon Knight is still a fairly obscure character so while he might not get the recognition like Spider-man or Batman he still has his fans! The worst part would be my vision in both costumes is fairly limited. When I wear the costumes I don't really get to see things at con's like merch or other cosplay as well as I want so I often have to de-mask |

AIZEN SOUSUKE
What was your first cosplay?
My very first official cosplay was Arrancar Aizen Sousuke from Bleach. I was helped by my mother and sister to sew the jacket. We were literally sewing right before making the 6 hour car drive to the convention. It went over well with other fans and was my first taste of a lifelong cosplay addition!
How long have you been doing this? Since 2006 and still going
What is your dream character to cosplay?
Not really a specific character but my dream cosplay right now is the Hard Suit from Gantz. Its a beefed up version of the regular Gantz suit and the design is out of this world! It would be incredibly difficult to do but if done right would be amazing to wear!
Who's your biggest inspiration?
Without a doubt my mother! She has always inspired me and driven the creative side of me. She defined my childhood and never stifled my creativity. I would not be where I am today if it was not for her. She recently passed away, and I miss her alot but everything she taught me lives on in my life, my career, my relationship and especially my hobbies!

Whats the best cosplay you have seen yourself?
That's a super tough question. I have seen alot of amazing cosplay over the years. Recently, the level at which cosplay has reached is just amazing. Just picking one would be impossible but one of the most recent ones I saw was at Wondercon 2019. Nerd_alert_cosplay did an amazing job on his DragonMegaZord (or Dragonzord Battle Mode) cosplay! I might be biased as a old school Power Ranger Fan, but it was amazing to see in real life, up close!
