enSeptember 09, 2018

In this episode, we talk about Rat Queens vol. 1 & 2, written by Kurtis J. Weibe, and published by Image. Rat Queens is a GLAAD Media Award winner, and has both strong female characters and good LGBTQ representation, but also had a change in artists due to the original artist being arrested. We talk some about that, but have also included links to various reporting in the notes below.

1.4: Current Issues #2: Black and Black AF

In this episode, we talk about Black and Black AF America's Sweetheart written by Kwanza Osajyefo with co-creator Tim Smith 3. We talk about both super heroes and race as it fits into the current political climate. These comics are two very different looks at a fascinating new world. In the episode, Tracy misspeaks and says that the two have different writers. Kwanza Osajyefo is the writer for both, it is the artists that are different.
