As a middle class white kid, I grew up having thousands of characters I could relate to or see myself as, while my friend Maya Hanks had maybe three. Possibly, If a Black child sees Superman, he dreams of being LIKE him. But if a Black child sees Black Panther, he dreams he could BE him.

As I was at Essex Junction in Bloomfield, NJ; USA, scrolling through the ‘gram, observing the wonderful cosplay digitally, there was this cosplayer, whose rendition of Sasuke was spot on. He was able to cover the famed anime’ protagonist/antagonist with such flare that I started following him. As I continued to admire his cosplay, he started venturing into other cosplay characters; from Itachi from the famed series, Naruto, to Negan from AMC’s Walking Dead, to resembling a Mob Boss in the famed Power series (assuming here); his incorporation of the right photographers, lighting and attention to detail in their environment was more than enough for Region 99 to contact him and investigate the reason why he’s so dedicated to his craft…. This is Jake_cosplays and this is his story.

Since 2000, one woman has been the voice of Wonder Woman, the most iconic female superhero of all time. That voice belongs to Susan Eisenberg.
When the Justice League animated series first aired on Cartoon Network, it was the latest addition to the DC Animated Universe, which had already seen the likes of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman, and Batman Beyond. Superman and Batman had been on the contemporary small screen for years, but it wasn’t until Justice League did fans get to see and hear the iconic Wonder Woman. To this day, when you ask a fan who their Wonder Woman is, Ms. Eisenberg’s portrayal is the one that comes to mind.
I was fortunate to gain some insight into what it is like to voice a legendary character like Wonder Woman.

On Friday, July 17th, 2015, an artist walked into Merseles Studios, in Jersey City. As she walked up the stairs, she was met by a person who was holding a Casting Call for artists.
