The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore Takes on Diversity in Comics

You probably missed it last night, but The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore took on the topic of “race and gender issues in fictional universes,” aka comics. The episode featured Mike Lawrence, musician Jean Grae, Marvel’s Director of Content and Character Development Sana Amanat, and artist Phil Jimenez.

The episode was decent, though didn’t go too much in depth on the issue, and there was a lot of opportunity missed, especially at the end. Still, it’s great to see the issue get covered and put in front of a wider audience.
