February 23, 2012 1:51 pm I don't know any woman who would react with anything but respect for a man looking at cookware. At the very least they wouldn't condescend to him the way men do to women in comic shops/computer stores/sporting goods stores. That is a weird example.

Dave Sim thinks that I am a soul-sucking void. It will never matter how brilliant the first half of Cerebus is. I want nothing to do with him.
To a (slightly) lesser extent, I won't support Orson Scott Card because of his views on marriage equality, but that's mainly because he is on the board of the National Organization for Marriage, and a portion of his money will go straight to their coffers. I have no interest is helping him.
November 8, 2011 12:37 pm I am already bored with the DCnU. I find myself dropping more and more superhero titles, and the ones I pick up have something else going for them (Demon Knights is sword-and-sorcery, Cloak & Dagger is about their relationship for me) After years of avoiding X-Men, I'm picking up Wolverine and the X-Men because it's shaping up to be more about a mutant Hogwarts than ~earth-shattering events~. Because really, superhero comics should be fun. If they're not fun, I'm less likely to be interested.
Furthermore, I got into comics via Sandman, Alan Moore, and The Invisibles. I've had fun in the years that I've immersed myself in the Big Two, but at the end of the day I'd rather find some comics that bend my mind and challenge the way I view the world, or at least storytelling.

Yay, I wasn't too late! (even though I was). Everyone looks great-- especially stuclach. (It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!)
