A celebration of comic book fans who happen to be girls.
And talking about women and comic books, Newsarama discussed women IN the industry. Are there enough of them?
From the piece...
While public eyes have recently focused on rebooted comics, people within the tightly knit fan community have been buzzing about a different subject:
The low percentage of women on the creative side of the comic book industry.
The conversation has become particularly heated over the last three months. Comic writers have publicly argued about it. Comic conventions have been disrupted by it. Bloggers have analyzed it. And even comic book companies have responded to criticism about it.
"There seems to be this sort of 'boiling up from the bottom' interest in talking about women working specifically on superhero comics," said Jen Van Meter, the writer behind comics like the upcoming Marvel title Avengers: Solo.
Judd Winick, who's currently writing two comics for DC, said it's also something that's been a topic of conversation among publishers. "This was a behind-the-scenes discussion over the last many months," he said. "Out of Comic-Con, believe me, it's been discussed."
