"Most astounding thing is how DC pretty much wrecked a lot of good character development Dixon provided for Spoiler for almost a decade. "Stephanie most definitely shouldn't be forgotten, and there's still a lot of work needed if she's to be revived. The best option would be not to buy Robin as they're doing it [...]

New women in comics podcasting. Yay!
"For the Episode 0 of Four Color Heroines, I’ve got a little rant I put together concerning Joe Quesada: Still an Idiot in Public, Only This Time He’s Dismissing Female Fans To Their Faces." Episode 0: Think of the Weasels, Hannah Dame, June 17, 2007. Visit Four Color Heroines for more podcasts. Way too funny [...]
“So. Dinah Lance is going to make a REALLY bad mistake and marry Ollie Queen.”
"So *why* are they doing this? Here's Black Canary, and when she'd done well, you stop noticing the fishnets and start noticing that even without her power, she's one of the toughest and smartest fighters in DCU. And she's done most of it as a Bird of Prey or in the JSA or on her [...]
People of the Bay Area
You're SO lucky, I'd love to go to this exhibition: Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga: "150,000 pages of manga. 70 anime TV & feature-length productions. Two explosive elements of Japanese pop culture. One visionary: Tezuka Osamu. "The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco presents Tezuka: The Marvel of Manga, starting from June 2 - Sept [...]
How to be a newspaper comics editor
"If you hit us over the head long and hard enough, we eventually get the message, so we left this decision up to you. And you apparently decided that you would rather undergo eyeball surgery every morning than read 'Get Fuzzy,' the strip about a Satanic cat, a moronic dog and a clueless owner who [...]
I can’t believe it’s that hard to understand either
"Really, is it going to hurt your sales so much if you just draw female heroes with believable dimensions who don't look like they're just waiting for the next available cock to float by? If you think so you vastly undervalue and underestimate the majority of your fans. "And I thought *I* was misanthropic. Even [...]
Men hate you (TwistyTM)
I write a little about misogyny in comic books, but I think we should all remember that misogyny is a real world problem because too many men hate women. I won't say all men, but some days it sure seems that way. The DeAnza Case: men really hate teenage drunk girls reminds me uncomfortably of [...]
Mavel gives you …
Made in America... Tentacle porn! This is not Dream of the Fisherman's Wife and vice versa. (deadlinks)
Whoa! Colleen Coover is drawing for Marvel!?
Wasn't I just saying we need more women drawing at Marvel and DC? Colleen Coover is a big step in the right direction. Would be amusing if she were writing there as well. I'm also very much in favor of more humor and less cutting up women in comics. I liked Nextwave a lot. I'm [...]
ASBAR 5: There goes my street cred
I know it's uncool to like All Star Batman and Robin, but I love this book. Okay, there was year between issues 4 and 5, and my personal shopper at Comic Odyssey wonders if this series will ever conclude in our lifetimes, but I just don't care. I don't care about Vicki Vale's ass in [...]
