Given all the controversy about diversity lately, I don’t want you to see this as an attack on your or your staff, this is just genuine curiosity on my part. A while back I asked why Marvel don’t have any LGBT solo titles and you have a very thoughtful response as to how it didn’t seem the right time, the creators didn’t fit etc & how you wanted to do it justice. My question is, given the success of Midnighter at DC & the other lgbt books, what is it that makes you feel the time isn’t r

I need the story and the creative team to show up, and feel legitimate. I don’t just want to do it because somebody else has done it, and in doing so, do it badly.

A Message To Aspiring Female Creators In Comics
Creators Talk ‘Amelia Cole’ Surprise, Success and New Collection
Hey, Brian. I’m an aspiring writer, and I have this complex about being a person of color trying to break into comics. I know I’m probably making a bigger deal out of this than I should, but it’s kind of disheartening to see gatherings of creators and to notice the lack of color. Am I worrying for nothing? I tend to over analyze things, so this has been bugging me more than it probably should. I apologize in advance if this question is stupid, annoying, or has been asked before.

Forgive me if this is a crass question, but how are sales on Wicdiv going? Better or worse than expected? Also, looking at all the artists and writers migrating over from the Big Two to Image, I’d be interested in knowing what the expected sales usually are on independent books by established comics people with a fanbase built on superhero fare. Some of this may be too general to be answered, and I know you and Jamie already had a reputation before Marvel, but still.
