Today is a Friday unlike any other because those of us based in the United States celebrate our Independence. It’s a day to remember what our country fought for and to exercise our freedom by enjoying the holiday, firing up the grill, and viewing or letting loose some dazzling fireworks. To celebrate the occasion, I’ve rounded up some impressive examples of patriotic cosplay from the pages of comics and from cartoons. Enjoy your July the 4th, everyone!
