I'll update the original post but will leave out the solicitations to make it look cleaner.

I wonder if Marvel will reveal some female led books today considering it’s International Women’s Day.

I'm very concerned with the lack of female led books right now so I hope this is the case

That would be cool. At the very least, I'd like to finally find out who's writing Jessica Jones!

Today would be the best day to announce that considering the release of season 2!

I don't know if that would be a big International Women's Day announcement but if they tell us today about Miles' book, hey, I won't complain!

I'm sticking to my guess that it's Christopher Priest on Miles but as my guesses on Deadpool's new writer were SO off, I'm sure I'm wrong about this too!

Marvel is OWNED by Disney-right? Who air Side Chick AKA Scandal, Grey's Anatomy & Blackish. I am SURE they can offer names of black female writers.

Also some of those YA folks are chosen for a reason and it's not SJW or Political this or PC Culture that. It is because they are NAMES in that industry and will make it EASIER to get those books into schools. Because the folks who do the BUYING of the books are not comic book nerds. Bendis and Johns and Al Ewing mean NOTHING to them. Jason Reynolds and the guy writing New Superman and Gabby Rivera are known to them.

There is a reason Jason Reynolds's Miles Morales novel is a best seller and New York Times best seller. I am reading that book and he has done a better JOB with Miles than Bendis has in 7 years. He gives that human side that is missing from Miles.

So while it annoys comic book fans-its serving the purpose for noncomic book fans.

It does get to a point of can there be a way to merge both sides and win?

Speaking to female black writers; I don't know if I misunderstood the point, but just to clarify, I am well aware that there is most likely a plethora of black female writers. I was simply stating that I don't know who they are because
A) My indie knowledge is limited as I only read a handful of indie books because theres so many and
B) I don't keep up with what my comicbook authors and artists look like. I didn't even know oliver coipel was black until like a year or two ago and he's one of my favorites.

Speaking towards the YA creative, I get that marvel is trying to expand its audience in different areas, an I actually applaud them for that. Squirrel Girl and Moon Girl are clearly not books for me, or mainstream comic audiences, obviously, based on floppy sales, but Squirrel Girl iirc made it on the NYBS list and moon girl has been a big scholastic hit. And with Jason Reynolds, as well as whoever wrote that red widow book, those don't count because they're novelists writing novels. They're in their comfort zone.

However, those books are obviously geared towards a different audience. When you have a book like Captain Marvel, with a character Marvel has been trying to put over on fans since the end of the KSD run, its obviously supposed to appeal to mainstream audiences, but its not.

Everyone had their sights on David Walker for Miles, but he dropped Marvel so I wonder who they'll pick up.

Honestly, I'll be glad with almost anyone, as I've been dying to read a miles book I can actually enjoy because he has so much potential (even if I think he needs to go back to the ultimate universe...)

Would certainly be a better approach in comparison to last year after making Emma go bad because of her man's death.
