"The issue with the picture isn’t that Image Comics is against diversity. The problem is the picture..."

The issue with the picture isn’t that Image Comics is against diversity. The problem is the picture makes it look like they don’t care about it. And I know that isn’t true. I also know a number of the creative teams DO have gender parity AND are racially diverse. But here’s the big but…

Those men and women weren’t up on stage and possibly not even in San Francisco for the event.

The whole event is essentially a giant ad for Image, spotlighting the people who make the books to help sell them and promote the Image brand. Shouldn’t we see a more realistic snapshot of what that Image family looks like? And shouldn’t that family look like ALL of us? Shouldn’t it be that way at every publisher?
