May 16, 2012 11:36 am Chris, I think you've put 'Jack Kirby' instead of 'Stan Lee' in the opening by accident. Other than that: great article.

May 4, 2012 12:31 pm 'The Fury abides, man.' I can only imagine that it takes a lot to make an old man sitting in his bath robe and tartan slippers look like a complete bad-ass, but Parlov makes it look easy.

March 23, 2012 9:57 am I know Ales Kot's the writer, but there's definitely a Morrison-esque quality to the dialogue.

March 23, 2012 9:56 am I smell a Grant Morrison script.

February 23, 2012 1:25 pm You're right to teach your son to embrace what he's passionate for, I'm just saying that we need to be careful about the way we're embracing the term 'geek'. Just because subculture is in now doesn't mean that the fashion won't change, people proudly identifying themselves as "geeks" now could potentially be walking right into a life of alienation later. And you're definitely right about acceptance and tolerance, but unfortunately a lot of people aren't as considerate as you clearly are.

February 23, 2012 12:32 pm I agree with everything you say Molly. I received similar eyebrow-raising treatment at a local comicbook store when I pointed another customer to 'Kraven's Last Hunt' after he asked the clerk about a specific Spider-Man arc he couldn't remember the name of, because, according to the clerk, '[I] don't look the type'. On the other hand, I have problems with using the term 'geek' in any context. At the end of the day I still see 'geek' as a pejorative term, which has always been used as a means to classify and thereby alienate anybody, guy or girl, from what is considered the cultural "norm".

February 16, 2012 11:44 am I love broken Golden Age Logic: literally the first woman outside Themyscira that WW comes into contact with also just so happens to be identical to her in every way.

February 10, 2012 2:06 pm I like her new cape personally, but I agree with the gist of what you're saying. The costume is just missing something, I think it's the gold gauntlets and boots, they could belong to any Image or Wildstorm heroine. Better to do away with them entirely. An all-white, short-sleeved one piece w/ gloves would make her cape the only source of color; forcing it to stand out and therefore giving it a much more "iconic" air.
