I think women are vital to the future of the superhero comics and the entire industry - as creators, as editors, as consumers, as retailers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.
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.
Women are the real superheroes because they're not just working. They have a life and everything.
I want to keep playing strong female roles. I don't mean superheroes, but women who are really alive.
Cartooning is a wonderful career, and I'd like more women to get to have it. I can't think of any reason why we won't see more syndicated female cartoonists in the future.
I think there is an enormous appetite for great roles for women.
I think that we're in a really amazing time, where there are really a lot of really fantastic female actresses and comedians. I imagine there's just a lot of opportunity for women to have powerful roles. Or it's just that there's more women writing TV. Women tend to maybe write strong women.
I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics; it's something to do with the social structure of society.
Really, it hasn't changed for female comics; it's still hard for females to really enter the game.
