Believe it or not, Cosplayers Getting Coffee  (CGC) has been gracing the internet with caffeine and cosplay for two years now! Last weekend, the CGC team went back to New York Comic Con (NYCC) for the third year in a row, producing a special episode that’s packed with geeky goodness.

In this episode, 12 cosplayers sit down to talk about creating their looks, why they love NYCC, what they’re most excited for on Disney+, and more.

Things start off with Lis (@lis.wonder), who cosplayed as Diana Prince. Despite cosplaying for only a year, she’s got the Wonder Woman look down pat. (It doesn’t hurt that she is basically a Gal Gadot doppelgänger.)
