WonderCon 2023

Race swapping continues to be a hot topic of debate in the pop culture community. When the MCU changed Namor the Sub-Mariner’s origin from his original Atlantean upbringing to Mayan/Aztec roots, was this a true effort to represent the Latin American culture or just an attempt at racial inclusion for financial profits? A group of comic artists, writers, and historians discuss the diversity trends in pop culture. Panelists include Scott Mercano (Diablo Publishing), Carlos Casco (YnC Comics), Kevin Grevioux (Underworld), Larissa Lam (director, composer), B Dave Walters (actor, writer), and Ralph Miley (moderator).
