While LGBTQ creators and characters are a greater presence in comics than ever before, what are the new challenges and directions for queerness in popular culture? What are the relative advantages and challenges of mainstream and independent comics for self-expression, representation, and visibility? What do LGBTQ fans and readers want to see in their comics, movies, games, and television shows? How can popular media help the queer community continue to make progress toward equality in difficult times? Join moderator Christianne Benedict (Exiles) and panelists Mike Sullivan (Virtual Infinity Comics Presents), Marshall Edwards (Prairie City Response), Slimm Fabert (sveltte-art.com), and Hanna Oliver (ALPHABET) for a lively discussion of these and other questions!
