- “I was nervous about going into a comic book store,” recalled Ariell Johnson, owner of Amalgam Comics and Coffeehouse, of her first experiences as a fan. “I am black and a woman, and comic book stores are not places that historically have been welcoming to different people.”
Johnson hopes Amalgam, which opened in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia last year, can be a welcoming space for all nerds -- old and young, black and white, gay and straight, comic book novices and aficionados.
u guys are forgetting about the second captain marvel WHO WAS A BLACK GIRL!!
Despite race though, the story that is being told of the characters should be well delivered and engaging. Just changing the color of the character's skin won't do it justice if it doesn't have a solid narrative. Either way race shouldn't be everything and the reason you should connect with a character, there has to be a part of the character that you can see yourself in in order for you to relate with that character. For me, it's always been spider-man and forever will be my guy.
I hope and wish I have my comic book store one day.its good to be or self.
2:43 Power Girl is from DC, not Marvel lol.
How can you be a millenial and be a comic fan and never see Storm? She premiered in the 70s. Storm has been around and is on the walls of every comic shop. Storms face has been on the cover of nearly every issue of X-Men. Where was she getting her books from and at what age was she collecting?
Patrick man shut your dumb ass up you fucking loser lol
Yep I glad some one els thought. That is my hope to change the idea of comic book store. make it a social event not a buy and get out. Keep going expand
corey deas Not if you re like me white male and able bodied.
Oh my god. Stop it with the victim mentality. She literally said "Comic shops are, I would say; for anyone who isn't white, male, and able bodied, are uncomfortable to be in." Nothing negative was said about being those things, what was said is it can be uncomfortable for people who are not. Huge difference.
Past that, Corey wasn't even talking about the part of the video focused on race and gender, all OP said was they like the idea of making comic book stores a place to hang out and read your comics as opposed to just buying them and feeling like you need to leave. Just stop. Being positive is a way better way to live.
cool
