Summary: <a href="http://www.speakgeekspeak.com/comictiming/comictiming/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/apokolipsnew11_.jpg"></a><br> The spiritual sequel to our <a href="http://www.speakgeekspeak.com/comictiming/?p=79" target="_blank">Religion in Comics</a> episode is finally here! Brent and Ian are joined by <a href="https://twitter.com/TheDabbaDon" target="_blank">Brandon Christopher</a> (for technically the third episode in a row if you count 159 Part A and B as two separate episodes) and <a href="http://www.julianlytle.com/" target="_blank">Julian Lytle</a> to discuss ethnicity and race in comics. How have comics evolved in their portrayal of people of color over the years? What still needs to be done to improve things further? How about creators of color getting their foot in the door of a predominantly white industry? Who are some of our favorite ethnically diverse creators? Is it a good idea to take originally white characters and reintroduce them as black, Asian, or otherwise, or is legacy the way to go? We go into all of this and more here. Listen in, and enjoy.
