Comics retailer and blogger Lisa Lopacinski has put out the call for people to join P.O.W.E.R. in Comics, the new online community “where people can share ideas on how to increase the activity of women and minorities in the comic book industry rather than just complain about how it hasn’t happened yet.”
P.O.W.E.R. stands for “Promoting: Ownership, Writing & drawing, Editing and Reading.”
“This is a grass-roots community,” P.O.W.E.R. founder Lopacinski writes on the homepage, “where people can share their ideas and experiences about getting comics into new communities and share letters, press releases, and blogs about not just what’s wrong with the comic book community, but how to fix it.”
