History

Founded in 2012 by Justin Alba, ComicsVerse was incorporated in 2016. Alba and colleague Kathleen Wisneski, co-organized the ComicsVerse podcast alongside the site following a class at Columbia University in 2012 entitled "Comic Books and Graphic Novels as Literature."[3]

In his Open Letter, Alba writes that "comics saved my life" by teaching him how to cope with severe bullying and develop self-confidence. Alba notes that ComicsVerse's goal was to "help people like me who went through challenging and turbulent times" by engaging in a community of comics fans and creators.[3]

ComicsVerse immediately treated comics as an art form, rejecting the tendency in academia to dismiss comics as anti-literary.[4] Since its inception, ComicsVerse has expanded its discussion of mainstream comics like Marvel and DC to include comics from smaller and independent publishers, as well as comics-related television and film, and politics and culture outside of comics.[1]

ComicsVerse featured a Special Edition series on New York Comic Con,[5] focusing on creator interviews and character analysis in Marvel, DC, Image and indie comics.[3]

Purpose

ComicsVerse defined its mission to use "comics as a platform to discuss social issues of our time like race, sexuality, gender and inequality" [1][6] ComicsVerse investigates diversity in comic books and pop culture in order discuss representation, social justice, and build a community.[7]

ComicsVerse writer and Kat Vendetti spoke to the BBC in 2018 regarding Ms Marvel, Captain America, and the first Muslim women superheroes.[8][9][10] ComicsVerse has also discussed racial diversity in X-Men and New Mutants.[7] The website's Feminist Voices and Queer Voices pages gathered articles related to social equality for women [11] and people who identify as LGBTQ+ [12]

In 2017, ComicsVerse was recognized by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch for its story on The Dangers of Normalizing the Alt-Right.[13]

Podcast

The ComicsVerse podcast has an international audience.[3] The podcast has earned attention for its in-depth discussion of politics, human rights, and social justice as well as character analyses, creator interviews, and coverage of comics-related events like the New York Comic Con.[1]

The podcast balances discussion of mainstream superhero comics with niche graphic narratives, using different genres and media to investigate political topics.[6]

In 2017 the webcomic was nominated for a People's Choice Podcast Award in entertainment.[14]
