Cosmode Cosplay Magazine Offers Free Online Preview

Saturday May 17, 2008

Yet another mook (magazine + book) makes its debut this month, as the first official issue of Cosmode magazine is due to debut on May 25. Cosmode is a glossy magazine that features some of the most creative anime, manga and video game-inspired cosplay coming out of Japan today, all featured in gorgeous full-color photographs. But that's not all -- Cosmode also includes helpful tips for aspiring cosplayers, including how to pose for the best shots, how to make lightweight anime armor that won't be a pain to wear, and more.

You can check out a free preview issue online at the Cosmode Online site. Check it out -- it's pretty cool how they've set it up. You can "flip" through the magazine, and mouse over the section you want to read to get the English translation. The only catch is that you'll need to register with Cosmode to access this free issue, but it's straightforward and fast. Plus, if you like what you see, you can take advantage of the 10% off the cover price discount deal that's in effect until May 20, 2008.
