Popverse celebrates Black creators and characters for Black History Month

February is Black History Month, and to celebrate, Popverse is collecting all of our coverage that features Black creators so we can celebrate their work during the month and throughout the rest of the year too!

From the best Black space captains in science fiction to Black cosplayers you should be following on social media, there are stories below for people with any sort of interest in pop culture and comics. But don't let your familiarity (or unfamiliarity) with a work keep you from reading about the wonderful creators and their art below.
