Queer Heroes and Tokusatsu: Bijhan Agha on X-Knights and Time Wars

This week on Giant Sized Violence we're joined by Bijhan Agha, a creator active in the realms of comics, novels, and game design. We discuss her latest project, "Legendary X-Nights #2," a Tokusatsu-inspired comic that features a diverse cast of queer martial artists battling evil vampires across time. Bijhan shares insights into the characters' backgrounds, their unique superhero identities, and the thematic depth of the story, and how these relate to their own personal experiences with broader political issues. The conversation also touches on the pacing of comic storytelling, the influence of classic comics, and the importance of representation in media, particularly for marginalized communities.
