The antecedent of the relative pronoun 'which'

Question

Project Superpowers is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_book http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_series published by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamite_Entertainment beginning January http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_in_comics. It was co-plotted by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Krueger andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ross, with scripts by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Krueger, covers by Alex Ross, and interior art by Doug Klauba and Stephen Sadowski for issue #0, and Carlos Paul for the remainder of the series. Ross is also art director, which includes sketched pages, color guides, and redesigns of most of the characters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Superpowers#cite_note-1I'd like to know why the antecedent of "which" isn't "Ross" or "director" and is "It" in other sentence.Thank you in advance for your help.

The use of "which" is so loose as to be effectively wrong. What it's probably trying to say is that his role includes direction of the things mentioned.

Thank you, GPY, for your another kind answer.

Then, I'd like to know whether I can take it that in my example, "which" means "the role of the art director" and "which" have a capacity playing such a role.

Even "the role of the art director includes sketched pages, color guides, etc." is not correct. The role of the art director includes direction or management of those things, not the things themselves.

The original is bady written, so I wouldn't bother too much about trying to rationalise it.
