Comics doesn’t mean superheroes. If you’re only interested in talking about superhero comics, for instance at your “women and comics†event, then call it “women and superhero comicsâ€. I mean, it might seem obvious when the second item on your agenda is “Female versions of already established heroesâ€, but people like me get grumpy when you assume superheroes are all there are to comics.
