Albert Ching, Comic Book Resources; Marvel and DC Show Solidarity Against Online Trolls
"DC Comics made a rare and overt reference to Marvel on its Twitter account on Tuesday, sharing a group photo of its female employees along with the words, “Cheers @Marvel ladies! #MakeMineMilkshake.” Marvel quickly responded with an image of a milkshake with two straws, encouraging the solidarity between the two companies...
Archie Comics has also showed support, responding to Marvel and DC on Twitter with an image of a milkshake with three straws (both representing the three publishers, and a common image to Archie fans evoking Archie, Betty and Veronica sharing a shake)."

EXCLUSIVE: She Makes Comics Documentary Celebrates the Women of X-Men; Comic Book Resources, July 7, 2017
Albert Ching, Comic Book Resources; EXCLUSIVE: She Makes Comics Documentary Celebrates the Women of X-Men
"New documentary She Makes Comics aims to chronicle the vast contributions of women in the comic book industry, and in a CBR-exclusive clip from the film, the impact of women on the X-Men get the spotlight...
Speaking of the male-dominated climate in comics at the time, Claremont comments in the clip that Nocenti and Simonson “provided a perspective that was rarely available elsewhere.”
That perspective had a lasting effect, as not only are the X-Men known for featuring multiple female characters at a time — as opposed to one token woman on a super-team — the X-Men have also historically counted more women as fans than many other long-running superhero franchises...
Directed by Marisa Stotter and funded via Kickstarter in 2014, She Makes Comics will be available on VOD and iTunes on July 11 from XLrator Media, and also includes interviews with major comics names including Trina Robbins, Karen Berger, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Becky Cloonan and Jenette Kahn."

Hollywood Superheroes Losing The Fight For Diversity; NPR's Morning Edition, 8/9/11
John Ridley, NPR's Morning Edition; Hollywood Superheroes Losing The Fight For Diversity:
"Weaver found that white audiences tended to be racially selective with regard to romantic movies, but not necessarily when it came to other genres. So, sorry, Hollywood. You can't blame it on the ticket buyers."

Dwayne McDuffie, RIP: Championed Diversity Among Champions; NPR, 2/23/11
Glen Weldon, NPR; Dwayne McDuffie, RIP: Championed Diversity Among Champions:
"Race was dealt with matter-of-factly, but it was dealt with.
A new generation of kids who watched McDuffie's work saw worlds full of heroes — worlds that looked a lot like their own, and heroes that looked a lot like them.
Did McDuffie's pugnaciousness on matters of diversity (read the very funny memo he wrote when, as a Marvel editor, he detected a surfeit of skateboardin' black superheroes) change superhero comics forever?"
