It's all DC/Marvel heroes who are primarily white, male, and American. Yawn. Coming from an SF/F geek who's Canadian, female, and not white, I sometimes wonder why the most accessible fantastic fiction isn't just that… fantastic with regards to character backgrounds and setting. There's entire worlds and totally different POVs to write about. But of course, the big comic imprints will keep peddling their big mainstream American creations. <br /><br />There's a superheroine I'll probably be blogging about soon named Darna. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darna I'm not a big fan of any of the comics/movies/TV series or spinoff media that she's in, but I feel like I grew up with her when I was a kid in the Philippines. She's been around since 1950 and there's constantly new fiction about her, and she fights a combination of b-movie monsters and Filipino folk creatures. It deals with some Filipino mythology (albeit in a very superficial level) but repackaged into superhero tropes. It's pretty interesting. Pulp from outside of America, represent!Frida Fantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334974296266923620noreply@blogger.com
