After a string of sexism in April, comics fans and creators build solidarity through a blog.
The comics community saw a string of disheartening incidents in April — Janelle Asselin, a journalist, faced rape threats for gently questioning the female anatomy of a 'Teen Titans' cover; a WonderCon T-shirt was done in poor taste against 'fan-girls', who already often feel like they don't belong.
In response, Rachel Edidin, Arturo Garcia, Elle Collins, Sigrid Ellis and Jen Vaughn decided to call on the comics community to show solidarity to its less-heard voices, and the result is We Are Comics: a beautiful, ongoing series of user-submitted photos showing the true diversity of comics, and the often surprising ways people found a home in the world of sequential art.
