Women & NB Creators at DC Comics, October 2020 Solicits – 22 Creators on 17 Books

DC’s post-lockdown roll out (I almost called it a post-pandemic roll out, but no, we’re still firmly in the middle of all of that) got off to a slow start in terms of female and non-binary creator representation, but the numbers are finally trending upward.

The Latest Image Expo Has More Female Creators By Number, But Not By Percentage

I had some big issues with last summer’s Image Expo.

Preview Of Kelly Sue DeConnick And Emma Rios’ Pretty Deadly #1

Yesterday, I posted the solicits for two Wonder Woman comics coming out in October, one I was a little leery of and one I’m outright dreading.  So I thought today we could use a palette cleanser from all of that negativity: A look at a comic coming out in October that I’m SUPER excited about. 

New Books Announced At Image Expo Feature Female Characters And Creators

Publishers seem very keen on having a big October, with Vertigo announcing a slew of new titles on Monday and yesterday bringing a wide assortment of new book announcements from Image as well at their Image Expo.  There are some cool sounding books coming from some big name creators, and it was good to see
