Later on, when I went to Comic-Con for the first time at 22 with \u2018Game of Thrones,\u2019 I was amazed at what I saw \u2014 almost entirely men. Later, as tides turned in the industry and #MeToo emerged, I began to look at the community through those eyes and it was arresting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn doing my research, I found that 16% of comic book creators are female, according to a 2019 study, and only 30% of comic book characters are women. On the other hand, roughly half of comic book buyers are female. Something did not sit right with me in that exchange, and all these signs were telling me to go make my own,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Clarke recruited \u201can all-female creative team\u201d to create what Variety described as \u201cone of the most progressive female heroes in the genre.\u201d Titled \u201cM.O.M.: Mother of Madness,\u201d the comic will be released in July and was co-written by Clarke and Marguerite Bennett (\u201cBombshells,\u201d \u201cJosie and the Pussycats\u201d) with art from Leila Leiz (\u201cHorde\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Clarke described the main character, Maya, as a \u201csingle mum\u201d that gets \u201cs*** done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s a single mum that\u2019s got to get s*** done. This was born from the idea that single mothers are superheroes. You need superhuman strength to do that. When you get into your 30s and your friends start having kids, you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh my god. I was not aware of what it took. Holy s***,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>By making Maya\u2019s powers come from her menstrual cycle, Clarke said it will help twist something that women often find uncomfortable into something superhuman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bloating, the hair growth, the mood swings, the [acne], all of it. We hate that when it happens, speaking for myself and everyone I\u2019ve ever met who has had a period. What if we turned that around and made the period something that we can feel as this unique, crazy, superhuman thing that happens in our body? When Maya is scared, she goes invisible, when she\u2019s angry, she has superhuman strength. She can swing like Spider-Man from her armpit hair,\u201d Clarke said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s so ashamed of her powers at the start. It\u2019s mental. Even today, if your tampon falls out of your bag, it\u2019s embarrassing. Why?\u201d Clarke continued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/game-of-thrones-star-emilia-clarke-says-she-feels-pressured-to-perform-nude-scenes\">\u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 Star Emilia Clarke Says She Feels Pressured To Perform Nude\u00a0Scenes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/menstrual-equity-aclu-demanding-tampons-in-mens-bathrooms\">\u2018Menstrual Equity\u2019: ACLU Demanding Tampons In Men\u2019s\u00a0Bathrooms<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
