Meltdown Presents: Pod Sequentialism with Matt Kennedy #04 - Sexism and Diversity in Comics
Building on the previous theme, Matt tackles the possibility that lack of diversity in comics may be the cause of dwindling circulation when compared to the sales boost in young adult novel sales, which are inherently more inclusive. Considering current ethnic demographics, Why are so many superheroes still so white–and so male?
