The best cosplay isn't just dress-up — it's a performance, paying tribute to the characters and stories we love. And this cosplay from Long Beach Comic Expo is just brilliant, and super-accomplished. It's the perfect thing for a dreary Monday morning. Here's our favorite cosplay from Long Beach!

This cosplay comes from photographer Davann Srey, whose work we've featured before. Davann was on the spot, capturing the greatest costumes at the Convention Center — see more of his photos here.
