I don’t know how, during a pandemic, where Black people are being forced to risk their lives in order to explain that their livers MATTER, on the three year anniversary of Grenfell, a few days off of Juneteenth, in a pride month where trans rights, rights that will no doubt hit BIPOC the hardest, are being rolled back around the world I’m supposed to write about what’s been happening in comics. But I suppose that’s what you came here for. So I’m going to make it quick, there is still so much work to be done.
