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. Above:

Mistress of Pain
