In our pride month extravaganza grand finale, we interview Vita Ayala about their body of comics work from The Wilds to Livewire to The New Mutants, why imperfect queer and Brown characters matter to them, and why superheroes still matter. We get into the role of nostalgia in how stories are made, why characters need to grapple with the consequences of their actions, and so much more! The incredible Stephanie Williams also joins us for this awesome conversation!
