BLACK WOMAN CREATES SUPERHERO UNIVERSE FOR WOMEN OF COLOR -- CELEBRATES JANET JACKSON & DIANA ROSS!
Durham, NC -- With Captain Marvel dominating the box office, Aza Comics, one of the only superhero brands centered entirely around women, is gaining popularity by giving women of color a voice. "I just asked women what they wanted to see," says CEO and serial entrepreneur, Jazmin Truesdale. "I wanted to create superheroes that truly empowered women of color. Even the format of Aza's books cater to the way women read."
'Novel-comics', a phrase coined by Truesdale, takes the traditional novel and comic book format and merges them together for the ultimate reading experience.
As the rise of female superheroes continues, Aza Comics stands out with its unique roster of multicultural characters and fan-favorite leading Black superheroine, Kala. "I was told by publishers that Kala wasn't marketable but now she is Aza's most popular characer... go figure," Truesdale says, rolling her eyes. "I wanted to showcase all these incredibly different women working together as a unit and kicking butt," says Truesdale. "The best way to inspire is by example and Aza's characters were inspired by real women of color who did incredible things."
