As one of the longer running pop culture festivals in Australia, Supanova was one of the first events to really give our nation’s cosplayers a place to get together and show their amazing talents to the world. 2016 marks the 13th time the Expo has been on in Brisbane, and this year saw a massive turnout of some amazing costumes. My good friend David was on hand for all 3 days of Supanova, and was kind enough to share some of his cosplay photos from the show.
Enjoy!
