Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics, June 2020 Solicits, 34 Creators on 29 Books

Continuing this very productive first week of self isolation, this is the sixth of these posts I’ve written so far. It’ll be in the future when you read it, though, at least two weeks away. What will I be counting then? How many Cheerios are in a box, perhaps? Time will tell. As always, comic

Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics, February 2020 Solicits, 28 Creators on 25 Books

The New Year started off poorly for Marvel, with sizeable losses in their overall total of female and non-binary creators, but the publisher is set to bounce back in February with some higher numbers.

Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics, December 2019 Solicits: 28 Creators on 26 Books

Let’s take a look at who’s

Women at Marvel Comics Watch – December 2016 Solicits, 37 Women on 25 Books

Marvel’s had an impressive run with female creators throughout the fall with 30 or more women in every round of solicits we’ve seen for the autumn months. Now they’re set to cap the year with a new record high, bolstered by a slew of new titles with female writers and female lead characters. Let’s take
