#ComicsGate and the War on Diversity in Comic Books (with special guest Mexie)

Face front true believers! In this spine tingling tale of woe, I take on some of comic's most duplicitous ne'er-do--wells! The malicious mob of malcontents known as ComicsGate!

This video was going to be a good 15 minutes longer, but the financial aspect of ComicsGate and the dubious fundraisers involved with it, would probably be more suited to a future video.

For the record, Ai Yazawa’s NANA is in fact the greatest comic of all time. If people don’t believe me, I will make a super long video going into excruciating detail about why this comic about two young women moving to Tokyo is so amazing. We’re still waiting for Yazawa to finish it though. Maybe one day…

Also not included in this video was my opinion that Secret Empire (the one with Nazi Captain America) is the best comic event in years and that Miles Morales should be Spider-Man in all the new movies.

If you haven’t heard of Mexie, she makes great YouTube videos. Definitely check her out. She’s also this channel’s first ever subscriber.
