We were a group of people who identified as women. Who just wanted to talk about comics. Who wanted talk about comics without the feeling we were being harassed again. And we had a lot of fun! Welcome to my first ever Women’s Comic Book Club.
Marvel denied geek women our representation by their Captain Marvel actress. They continue to propagate the misogynistic ideal of oversexualizing youthful beauty in lieu of age-appropriate representation.
Our favorite superheroes encounter mythical beasts and baddies in the second ‘DC Super Hero Girls’ graphic novel.
Supanova Sydney 2016 had a light side, and a dark side. Here you can read all about the fluffy, happy, fun stuff I found. And then you can duck over to my parallel ‘Supanova 2016’ post on the … less-fun parts.
It’s true not all comics are about superheroes. But likewise, not all superhero fans are comics fans.
(Redacted) was the first casualty of CIVIL WAR II #1. Tragic in and of itself, his death also signaled the death of one of the only healthy relationships in the history of comics.
This week’s Superheroine Sunday profiles the whimsy, movement, and complexity of Sara Richard.
This week I had the pleasure of attending a press preview day for the new Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood DC Universe.
Do you know what I love about Free Comic Book Day? It’s now this huge international event, with a pretty big social media presence – and yet it is still about helping grass-root comic book stores and artists/storytellers. Almost every participating store I knew this year was sharing the day with local artists and writers. My local store just happened to have Nicola Scott.

A trip to El Paso Comic Con over the weekend brought me a little closer to my geeky goal of driving the Batmobile. I’m still waiting for that day.
This week, Batgirl hits 50, Peter J. Tomasi hit two runs this week with his work on Superman and Batman: Detective Comics, and I became distracted by Mikel Janin’s art on Superman. So pretty.
Secret Six guest-starring Batgirl is bittersweet this week and, meanwhile, Midnighter hops around the DC Universe. (But not to fight Deathstroke, thankfully.)
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow gets a comic, sorta. Meanwhile, Martian Manhunter is the best comic SF epic you’re not reading. That and more reviews of this week’s DC Comics.
Am I “ugly in the face?” Sometimes I honestly think I am, and sometimes I am happy with how I present myself physically in public. Most of the time, I realize it doesn’t matter one bit, because inside where my imagination and intellect collide, I’m a freakin’ Venus.
The team behind Li’l Gotham is back for a unique take on DC’s Big Three in a book for middle grade kids.
This week: An excellent issue of Omega Men draws comparisons to Watchmen, the trade of the excellent Martian Manhunter SF story is out, and DC drops excellent issues of Batgirl and Midnighter.
This is an odd week for DC. First, an alternate universe story featuring classic Lois & Clark is our favorite, Frank Miller seems to have a more hopeful view of superheroes than many of DC’s current comics, Neal Adams goes back to 1970s style storytelling and the big Darkseid War saga is falling flat, even […]
This week in DC Comics, Harley and the Joker have an epic throwdown, Martian Manhunter turns into a giant Earth-saving machine, the Secret Six and Batgirl make nice, there’s another installment of Max Landis’ origin of Superman and Doctor Fate goes topical.
