More on DC Comics’ Post Convergence Diversity
A bit ago, DC Comics announced what their post DC Universe will look like after their Convergence event. The name of the game is diversity, in both series, stories, and creators. How does the 49 comics and their creative teams stack up? I did my best to count the numbers, and while we can argue what’s a male led comic, female led, or team, you can’t argue about the creative teams.
When it comes to the comics themselves out of the 49 titles, there are roughly:
Woman Led | 7 | 14.29% |
Male Led | 22 | 44.90% |
Team | 20 | 40.82% |
Total: | 49 |
When it comes to the new creative teams there’s 86 announced creators so far. There’s two I was unsure of, but I went through the names, and looked up folks I wasn’t familiar with. The count is:
Male | 72 | 83.72% |
Female | 12 | 13.95% |
? | 2 | 2.33% |
Total: | 86 |
This of course doesn’t look at ethnicity, sexual preference, etc. (hello Midnighter series!). The above might not be perfect, but that’s an impressive shift in the right direction! Congrats DC Comics!
