It's time to step away from praising cosplay creators to talk about the true heroes of Comic Con

Imagine spending months on a project, meticulously sewing and hand-crafting fine details onto fabric, or hot glueing accessories onto a foam weapon you've poured hours into, only for the big day to finally arrive and parts immediately pop off or stitches to break in motion. I can only imagine the absolute heartbreak of feeling like all that time simply comes undone on day one of a convention, but if you're lucky, a team of volunteers are usually there to help in these exact situations.

This week I wanted to take a break from praising cosplay creators and praise the cosplay hospital at MCM London Comic Con, especially after the most recent event which took place from May 22 to May 24. If you don't know what this is, it's essentially a team of volunteers armed with hot glue, pins, sewing needles, and even tape for quick fixes, who are there to assist anyone having a cosplay mishap. Because let's be honest, in busy events like this, something is bound to happen.
