Ms. Marvel / Kamala Khan Creator G. Willow Wilson Adds Some Perspective To The Marvel Comics Diversity Debacle
No follower of comic book websites can have failed to notice the controversy that broke over the weekend. In the wake of the first Marvel Retailer Summit of the millennium, a lot of websites have been reporting that Marvel's so-called "diversity initiative" has stalled, and that fans have had enough of Marvel's campaign to represent a more diverse range of genders and races in its lead characters. As I discussed in an earlier post, the comments which set the internet on fire were largely taken out of context, but their impact in undeniable. Now, G. Willow Wilson, the creator of Kamala Khan (a.k.a. Ms Marvel) has spoken out about the whole controversy. She's an important figure in this whole debate, as Kamala Khan is easily the most successful Legacy Hero, who were the main target of the supposed ire.
