We caught up with kamigarcia, who wrote your new favorite comic book:
With so many awesome characters in Teen Titans, it is hard to pick a stand-out. For me, Raven is my favorite character—no, wait, Starfire is. No, no, Beast Boy. I love them all. Although it is hard to choose a favorite, one thing is for sure: I’m always hungry for more individual screen time from each.
“Diversity was important to me in general,” Garcia told me at a comic book signing with artist Gabriel Picolo in Chicago. “I taught for 17 years in public schools at Capital Height Maralyn, which is right outside the Washington DC line. It’s a very underserved area, and I do believe that if [someone] can’t see themselves in books and shows and movies, it is a type of erasure.”
Once Garcia told DC she wanted to work with Picolo, he got the call, but he didn’t believe it was real. Picolo says he thought the DC call was a prank from one of his friends. Once Picolo realized it was not a prank and that he was, indeed, tapped to work on Teen Titans, he got to collaborating with Garcia right away. Together, Garcia and Picolo worked to ensure the world Raven was placed in was diverse and inclusive.
Garcia and Picolo came up with a solution. “We decided the first time that the main characters were featured, at least the first time they were featured, they would be in color.” “I touched on it very lightly because I’m not a practitioner. I did research, but I feel like it’s not the same,” Garcia said. “I wanted to give her that identity because I feel like that’s such a part of New Orleans, and I also wanted to try and destigmatize the religion.”
The story is fantastic. It dives deep into the origin of Raven, and it deals with other issues such as depression, loss of a parent, and you know, the whole daughter of ultimate evil thing.
