Episode 22: Queer Visibility in the MCU (or Lack Thereof)
With tragic news and external fears in the United States, Chris of AP Marvel brought in comic artist and storyteller Nat (@NatRoze) and Laura Berry (@laubeary) of Sapphic Zines to talk about why representation for marginalized communities in media carries great importance. The trio takes a deep dive into the few queer characters in the MCU, namely Valkyrie, Jeri Hogarth, Joey Gutierrez, Karolina Dean, and Nico Minoru.
