Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke is heading into uncharted territory. The actress is gearing up to release her first comic book next month, which she co-wrote with art by comic book writers Marguerite Bennett and Leila Lees. As for what inspired her to explore the comic book world, Emilia told Variety, "I read a lot of fantasy novels as a child that were full of rich worlds, like 'Lord of the Rings'. My imagination has always That was the place. . Later, when I went to Comic-Con for the first time with "Game of Thrones" at age 22, what I saw was almost entirely male. Later, as the tide turned in the industry and #MeToo emerged, I started looking at the community with those eyes and it was arresting."
For her comic book called MOM: Mother of Madness, Emilia Clarke enlisted an all-female creative team and created a comic book featuring a super strong female character. The book will revolve around a single parent whose life takes a complete turn when he discovers his superpowers. To add to this, her superpowers stem from her menstruation.
Explaining what inspired her to move forward with the project, Emilia said, "In my research, I found that according to a 2019 study, 16% of comic book makers are women, and only 30% The comic book characters are women. But on the other hand, about half of the comic book buyers are women. Nothing went right with me in that exchange, and all these signs were telling me to make up my own."
Describing her idea of creating a powerful character, Emilia said, "She's a single mother who has to fuck up. It was born out of the idea that single mothers are superheroes. You need superhuman strength to do that." Needed."
She said, "Swelling, hair growth, mood swings, acne, all of that. We hate it, when it happens, I'm speaking for myself and for all the people I've ever met. What if If we turn it around and make that period something that we can feel this unique, crazy, supernatural thing happening in our body? When Maya is afraid, it becomes invisible, when If she's angry, she has supernatural powers. She can swing like Spider-Man in the hair next to her."
Now, this sure looks like a comic book we'd love to get our hands on when it's out next month.
