Back Matter #6 — Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose and Objectification

October 07, 2014

Back Matter is our roundtable discussion show focused on all things news worthy in the world of comics. From the big buzz around the latest comics to comic book movies and TV shows, as well as other discussion that didn’t make it into our main show. Feel free to email us discussion ideas or any comments or questions you might have at contact@viewfromthegutters.com


On this episode of Back Matter our hosts discuss the issue of the representation of women in comic books, and in particular the objectification of women being misrepresented as empowerment. This discussion happens through the lens of Jim Balent’s Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose, an ongoing series published by Broadsword Comics.


Our hosts for this episode are Joe Preti, Kirbotron 2000, Kayleigh Fleeman, Kelsea Hume, and Henry Branscombe.
