Dark Horse Comics

...and The Closest Thing are cosplaying them!

We always love to see whenever fans are cosplaying a Dark Horse character! Last year, at Anime Weekend Atlanta, I met some people from cosplay group The Closest Thing, portraying Hikaru, Umi, Fuu and Lantis from Magic Knight Rayearth. Knowing that we were going to release the sequel, Magic Knight Rayearth 2, this spring, I asked if they could please send us some of their pictures...and here they are! Don't forget to check out our Magic Knight Rayearth 2 omnibus, containing the complete sequel to the original story, plus fifty bonus color illustrations and the special "CLAMP Gazette" mini-comic where the creators sound off on the story! Thanks once again to Michelle Luquette, Hailey Champagne, Samantha Champagne, and Joshua Hart from The Closest Thing for the images.

Magic Knight Rayearth 2 hits stores April 11!
