Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics Watch, July 2019 Solicits: 38 Creators on 30 Books

Marvel’s July 2019 solicits may mark the highest number of female and non-binary creators we’ve seen from either Big Two publisher in the several years I’ve been doing these pieces. I say “may” in part because I’ve done quite a lot of them and skimming back through years and years of posts to check seems

Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics Watch, June 2019 Solicits: 35 Creators on 36 Books

On the one hand, Marvel will have nearly twice as many female and non-binary creators as DC this June. On the other hand, Marvel is also putting out nearly twice as many books as DC this June. It’s hard to compare the two publishers directly these days, but what’s undoubtedly true is that while DC’s

Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics Watch, May 2019 Solicits: 33 Creators on 35 Books

Marvel’s solid 2019 is set to continue in May as the publisher’s female and non-binary creator representation remains high.

I’m done before I know it. With Marvel, it’s much more involved. There are a lot of female and non-binary

Women & NB Creators at Marvel Comics Watch, July 2018 Solicits: 22 Creators on 18 Books

Marvel is in an odd spot with female and non-binary creators right now. After a truly abysmal spring with some of the lowest numbers we’ve seen from them in some time, things have improved somewhat. Now, the totals are still relatively quite poor. Marvel’s been in the high 30s in the past, and their current

Women at Marvel Comics Watch – April 2017 Solicits, 24 Female Creators on 19 Books

After posting the highest number of female creators we’ve ever seen from either DC or Marvel last month, Marvel failed to match their record this month. In fact, they weren’t even close. Now, this isn’t a huge surprise; the story of these stats is always two steps forward, one step back. A high is rarely
