Leo Nocedo : How did you discover cosplaying?
Edward Charles Haas V : Between airsoft and LARPing I was already used to dressing up for less-than-normal situations. Cosplay came naturally, and my first event was a superhero flash mob.
What a great way to upgrade a Comic con than to have it at the newly built World Equestrian Center in Ocala , especially with an attendance of 2500 . the celebrity lineup was great with Matthew Wood , Kyle Herbert , Johnny Yong Bosch , Neil Kaplan , Santana Garrett ,Steven Anthony Lawrence , Hector David Jr. , Jack Guzman , Peter Raymundo ,Karl Moline , Mike Spicer , Omar Francia , Larry Watts , Roadrunner Cosplay , Amanda Panda , Atrombo Creative and The reaper Impala.

Jennifer Stroup : I had always seen cosplayers on TV and Instagram, but I never really thought it was for
