The series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad airs Sunday night, and I'm approaching it with a mixture of anticipation, dread, and relief. For five seasons this show has been grossing us out, confronting us with concepts of good vs. evil, teaching us a lot about meth (not to mention how to dissolve a dead person with acid), and entertaining us with some very intense fashion moments.

ComicCons have grown from a niche "nerdy" hobby to a full-blown industry--San Diego's famous ComicCon has an estimated three-year impact of $488.4 million on the local economy--and with it, the world of "cosplay" (short for costume play) has grown as well. We talked to some dedicated cosplayers to find out how they make their costumes.
