GARBLED PODCAST - Imagining Characters in Color Nov 03, 2019

It’s been a long time in comics since a character was created who just so happened to be a person of color. Or has it? With the comic book blockbuster movie, proving to be a cash cow there’s a big push to recreate characters as people of color (or you could just create characters that are diverse, to begin with, but anyways). So we’re looking at the ones that have worked and why. We also make a pitch to re-imagine the X-men and what that might mean moving into the MCU. I'm joined again by Bria, “The Professional Jawn” of Jawnisim, “KnightSparkz” of Amerime Media.
