Catching the Fun: Daisy Chain Cosplay Leads the Charge at Mississippi Comic Con
The energy was electric at the Mississippi Trade Mart in Jackson as fans gathered for the annual Mississippi Comic Con. Among the sea of heroes and villains, Daisy Chain Cosplay made a splash, bringing the vibrant world of Pokémon to life as the original Cerulean City Gym Leader, Misty.
A Legendary Encounter
The convention floor is known for its unexpected crossovers, and this year was no exception. Fans were treated to a unique “galaxy-spanning” moment when Misty crossed paths with a legendary bounty hunter. In a highlight from the event, Daisy Chain Cosplay was spotted alongside a strikingly detailed Boba Fett, proving that even a Pokémon Master can find common ground with a Mandalorian.
The Spirit of Mississippi Comic Con
Beyond the professional photo ops, the weekend was about the fans. Whether posing with young trainers or sharing a moment with fellow enthusiasts in the crowded aisles of the Trade Mart, Daisy Chain Cosplay embodied the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that makes Mississippi Comic Con a staple of the Southern convention circuit.
From the bustling vendor tables to the main stage costume contests, the event proved once again that Jackson is a premier destination for pop culture in the Magnolia State.
Misty Gone Wild at Dragon Con
One of the most unforgettable moments from Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia, was hitting the floor as “Misty Gone Wild” and crossing paths with the incredible Trash Queen. This variant brought a rebellious, edgy energy to the classic Cerulean Gym Leader, swapping the usual trainer gear for a spiked collar and a daring, high-cut yellow top that definitely turned heads.
Snapping a selfie with Trash Queen was a total highlight—seeing two distinct, bold styles come together perfectly captured the wild, anything-goes spirit that makes Dragon Con the ultimate destination for creative cosplay.
