Jazmin Truesdale grew up reading comics. But, as she got older, she lost interest in the catchy crime-fighting plots and the mostly male casts of characters.
“When you get older you start to notice more things like sexism and racism in the entertainment you consume, and I was becoming more put off by comics,” Truesdale told The Huffington Post. Rather than turning away from her interest, however, she dove into it head-on, dreaming up a squad of heroines that better reflects the lives of real women reading comics today.
“In the superhero industry, there are many physically powerful women and people of color but none of them are truly empowered,” Truesdale said. “They’ll show up for a comic issue or two and then disappear into the superhero void.”
