Holly Brooke here, Interviewing Jean Gomez for Aggressive Comix. I have had the pleasure of hanging out with Jean at a few conventions, and I am happy to say that she is my first Aggressive Comix cosplay profile feature! Jean is a very talented and humble individual, who is as geeky as she is beautiful!

1.How did you start cosplaying?
I started cosplaying a few years back, after seeing so many amazing costumes year after year at San Diego comic con. It was so inspiring that I decided to go for it.

2.When was the first time you made a costume, and what did you make?
My first endeavor was Wonder Woman! I took gold craft paper, spandex and used a lot of hot glue to keep it all together.

3.What is your favorite convention to attend, and what sets it apart from other conventions?
I really enjoyed attending Phoenix Comic Con! They have so many extra curricular activities and a “Geek Prom” that really makes it fun.

4.Given unlimited time, money and skill, are there any characters you dream of cosplaying?
I would love to have legit Mandolorian armor. I have seen some really beautiful pieces. I’m slowly starting to put my kit together.

5.Are there any photographers or cosplayers you would like to work with in the future?
I’ve had the privilege of cosplaying with Jessica LG Cosplayer, I really look up to her craftsmanship and I would love to do another bigger and more elaborate cosplay with her.

6.The convention gods are against you and for unknown reasons you can only bring one costume to the con, what are you bringing?
Black Cat! I absolutely love cosplaying as Felicia, and I get to chase down all the Spideys and grab pics with them.
I appreciate both very much, but I’m a Star Wars fan to the core.
