Hi, readers! 
I'm writing an article on women of color in popular comics and I need your help.
If you could, so kindly, take this survey. Its a simple multiple choice survey where you click on the box next to the name of the black super-heroines that you've heard of. I'm only using DC Comics and Marvel Comics characters, who are black and are still alive or still in circulation. Again, if you have heard of these characters, just click the box. I'd really appreciate it!

Here on Nerd News Memphis, we are doing something different. Instead of a TV show with characters I like, I'd like to discuss a podcast with characters I like. Podcasts have become a new form of media. This media let's artists, journalists, radio personalities, and many others use the expansiveness of the internet to reach larger audiences.

Cecil Baldwin is my favorite radio host, who doesn't actually exist, who is as sweet as he is frightening.

“We are the Crystal Gems. We always save the day. And if you think we can't we'll always find a way!”

Today, it is a triple threat of awesome. Steven Universe is a cartoon on Cartoon Network that premiered Nov. 4 of this year. It is a story about a boy, Steven, with a gem in his belly and, with the help of three magical girls, they save the day from certain destruction.

The three lovely ladies of Steven Universe are all my favorite characters: Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst. Rebecca Sugar, creator of Steven Universe, really made a hit with these three characters. Read on to find out why they are A+ material.
