The last time Ringo Nominated comics writer Erica Schutlz was on the show with me was to talk about her Marvel Comics project Hallow's Eve. That project made me a lifelong fan of her work and after that chat I knew I needed to reach out to her again for my Women In Comics Feature celebrating Women's History Month in March. Her recent Laura Kinney Wolverine book is one of my top favorites of the From The Ashes X-Office storylines and what better character to dive into the specifics of gender in comics on a podcast than X23 who's genesis is from a cloning experiment which finally met with success after twenty two failed attempts using a faulty Y chromosome to attempt to recreate Wolverine? Considering the archetype of the character, this is the most authentic Wolverine story I've read in years. Big fan.
We also discuss some of the narrative elements and the thought process behind them for the DaredeviI: Unleash Hell Red Band Edition. I was curious about the mentorship role Elektra has been playing in the last few issues of LKW and why that relationship is different and largely unexplored with female characters in comics and the impacts of all female creative teams is also examined.
