The Lack of Diversity in Comics: What’re You Doing About It?

David F. Walker

ImageIt seems like every day I read something, somewhere, about the lack of diversity in comics (not to mention various other pop culture mediums). Sometimes these pieces focus on gender, other times on people of color, and sometimes both. At the recent Image Expo, sixteen comic creators took the stage, with only two being women, and none being of color, and in the aftermath we are once again having this conversation. (Read about it here on Bleeding Cool.) To be absolutely clear, this lack of representation in the creative forces that produce comics is problematic. There needs to be greater diversity on many levels when it comes to comics, both on the creative side, and within the stories that are being produced. But that is only one problem, and not the problem I want to address.

Dark Horse’s S.H.O.O.T. First Takes On Bad Religion

Keith Chow

No not the influential punk band from the 80s — or even the Frank Ocean song, for that matter. Instead, the next big thing from Dark Horse Comics is a book about a covert team of agents that battle the seemingly supernatural forces bent on destroying our world. All the team has to cancel the apocalypse are weapons fueled only by their non-belief. That’s right, in S.H.O.O.T. First, a team of super atheists battle angels and demons. Think Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. but with Bill Maher as Coulson and Richard Dawkins as Fury.

It’s also my favorite comic book on the stands right now.
