  • While at New York Comic Con, we reached out to Paladins of Cosplay to see if they had anything they'd like to show us. Did they ever! Adam chats with Law Asuncion, Josh Marchese and Owen Coulter about their impressive Pacific Rim, Batman: Dark Nights and Fallout costumes, and what brought these cosplayers come together as a group a few years ago.
