Pride Profile: Marguerite Bennett. This GLAAD nominated self-identified queer writer has been a dynamo at DC Comics and beyond. Starting with co-authoring a Batman Annual with Scott Synder, she started writing regularly the next year with Earth 2: World’s End. But, it was her launching the DC Bombshells comic universe that cemented her not only as a fantastic writer but an historically important proponent of Pride representation in comics. She wrote the series with the straight forward idea that “if you write stories that tell folks that queer people can live without shame, they just might grow up believing it.” She followed up with a stint helming Batwoman, and projects outside of DC including A Force, Josie and the Pussycats, and creator owned InSeXts. Stay tuned, because there’s no way Bennett is done yet.
Really have enjoyed Marguerite Bennett’s work, especially in the Bombshells universe. I love how she took a concept that was basically “What if DC heroines were in 40s Good Girl pin-up art” and made a full fledged universe that not only worked, but actually was able to say something about not just the time frame of the series, but today as well.
Anything can happen, but no promises! There’s a lot of different variables that can impact whether or not a series makes it onto DCUI. If it’s ever coming to the platform, we’ll let you know!
