Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics; it's something to do with the social structure of society.
It's only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There's plenty of cool comics with female characters... But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
There were very few women comics when I started out doing stand-up. But I always saw that as a great advantage.
I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.
I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.
I hate when I get asked, 'What's it like to be a woman in comics?'
I've always had difficulties with female characters.
Girls have always read comics. There's nothing intrinsically masculine about telling stories with pictures.
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
I think women are vital to the future of the superhero comics and the entire industry - as creators, as editors, as consumers, as retailers.
