Our Favorite Black Characters & Creatives in Marvel

Description

For Black History Month, we are highlighting our favorite Black characters, writers, artists, and cosplayers in Marvel and geek fandom. Genn gushes about the best moments of Nancy Whitehead, the unsung hero of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. (Did you know she’s low-key best friends with Loki?!) Caroline names fantastic cosplayers on Instagram who explore a myriad of Marvel movie and comic book characters. Bridgette covers several writers and artists who have told the stories of characters such as Captain America and Black Panther - then she fangirls over Michelle Jones from the Spider-Man movies. Good times.

Be sure to follow all these amazing people to see what they’re working on next! And if you decide to buy any of the books we mentioned, we highly recommend you purchase them from your local independent book or comic book seller.
