While we’re highlighting indie black creators right now, I know this isn’t a comic book, but I’d recommend EVERYONE to watch “The Comic Shop”! It’s a mockumentary sitcom about friends trying to save their Black-owned comic book store in Los Angeles! :) https://t.co/KAlaz6NMLw
The queer comic character of the day is Sojourner "Jo" Mullein aka Green Lantern from DC, who is bisexual! She stars in Far Sector, which has an epilogue in DC Power 2024.
This pride month, I really recommend you all check out aquaman: the becoming. Jackson hyde is still continuously sidelined in favor of his white counterpart, but this comic showcases what a wonderful character he can be with the RIGHT WRITERS.
That being the case, GO BUY COMICS. Prove to DC the market is primed and ready to support and rally behind black comics.
We need the community’s purchasing power in either scenario a #dcblackout or a #dcbuyout and I hope you decide to support the comics rather than punish them.
While I appreciate the intention behind #dcblackout, the approach needs to be reexamined. I cannot dispute the facts: there have not been any ongoing titles with black leads over the past 1200 days & this needs to be corrected.
What we need tho, is a #dcbuyout. I’ll explain.
