ANAHEIM, California — If you're planning on cosplaying at BlizzCon, you'd better bring your A game.
Blizzard Entertainment's annual weekend celebration of its hugely popular World of WarCraft, Diablo and StarCraft game series drew more than 20,000 of the company's biggest fans. Those who were most addicted to WarCraft dressed up in some unbelievably elaborate costumes, from the beautiful to the horrific.
Photojournalist Karen Chu was on hand to capture the best cosplay of last week's big show.

Mistress of Pain
Last year's costume contest winner "Rainyia" brought back her winning Mistress of Pain costume from the upcoming Diablo 3 as she greeted BlizzCon attendees in the lobby. And by "greeted," we mean "fueled the nightmares of."
