Overview Of Inclusion In Marvel Comics
18 November 2022
A comprehensive documentary that explores the inclusion of minorities in the Marvel universe without contributing anything new to the topic. Well represented by those within the industry, there are few big hitters or household names sharing their views, even by comic book fan standards.

Behind The Mask provides a good historical overview of the introduction of different races, religions, genders and sexualities into the Marvel universe, and finds a good mix of praise whilst still calling out some of the more problematic decisions made on former characters and plots. The difficulty with that is there are a number of more contemporary writers highlighting these issues whilst patting themselves on the back for their more inclusive characters (which quite often a significantly less popular).

It's a cool comic book history, which also isn't afraid to bash DC Comics when the opportunity presents itself too.
