The Pink Riot Comic Show
The Pink Riot Comic Show is a live-streamed comic show and podcast that predominantly highlights Black , Indigenous, and other Creators of Color in the comic book, publishing, TV, and film industries. We interview amazing creators about their works, wax poetic about the media of our childhood, and discuss all works through a Black feminist lens. We go live on Youtube, Instagram, and Twitch every Thursday at 5pm PT/ 8pm ET and we publish our podcast the following Saturday mornings!
Come and hang out with us as we discuss our recent comic book pulls, what we’re watching, and anything else that comes up in the chats!!
