TKM Cosplay

TKM Cosplay is a mother/daughters cosplay team. Kari started cosplaying with New World Comics Superhero School in 2013.

Kari can usually be found every other weekend at Superhero School and is the Operations Manager for New World Comic Con.  Taloa has been assisting with foam work since she was seven and started sewing at 11. She makes cosplays for herself as well as for her mom, younger sister, and friends. She is also a seasoned charity cosplayer and member of Real Okie Superheroes and JediOKC. MJ is the youngest in TKM Cosplay. She is always excited to suit up and has started building her own cosplays.
