Hello again, internet!  Sadly, this time I do not come bearing fanfic.  I do come bearing a question for anyone reading this who reads comics, and the question is--Batgirl ( Read more... )

Okay, so I promised myself I wouldn't post until I'd caught up on what was going on.

However.  I've been reading rydra_wong 's excellent collection of links for THREE DAYS now and I'm still back in January--clearly there is a massive amount of catching-up to do on my part, and I have decided it would be unconscionable to remain silent while I go back and fix ( Read more... )

I'm sure there are other, more eloquent blog entries today, but this is mine.  If you are a citizen of the United States of America, GO VOTE TODAY.

It sounds cliche and trite, but thousands of people have died for more than two hundred years to ensure that every citizen over the age of 18 could vote.

Nearly every man that signed the Declaration of ( Read more... )

MINX, DC's line of graphic novels aimed at teen girls, has been cancelled.

This pisses me off.

Mostly because I've been trying to figure out how to get my hands on them for months!  They're claiming to have cancelled MINX because the market wasn't ready or it or couldn't support it or something ( Read more... )

This is not cool.

Freedom of religion includes freedom from religion, and the right of a patient to be protected from their doctor's religion should not be eliminated.  As  ilyena_sylph points out, this is not necessarily about abortion--abortion is being used to cloud a much larger issue.

Go, read,  do something about it.  Please.

I am buying twice my usual number of comics this month.  Why?  Because I'm rewarding good descisions like ROBIN #174 (It didn't fix the problem, but at least it proves *someone* was listening) with money, and I DON'T buy titles or issues that I disagree with.

I feel that as consumers and readers in a consumer industry, this might be one of the more ( Read more... )

Today, people in schools all over America are being silent to honor the thousands more who are silenced literally or metaphorically by a society in which the definition of love is so restrictive that defying it can mean being insulted, beaten, raped or brutally murdered.

The goal of the Day of Silence is to make schools safer for all students, ( Read more... )

I found pictures of the new four-set of JLI action figures.  My first reaction was, Cool!  JLI!  The team nobody in DC admin seems to love.  I love JLI, though, so I clicked.  And found the pictures.  The two guys are Batman and G'nort, which is fairly legitimate even if I'd liked to have seen J'onn or Beetle or Booster or Plastic Man or . . . yeah ( Read more... )

Okay, over at halfamoon there's a post rec'ing SFF books to read for the strong female characters.  They've invited people to rec things in other mediums where strong women can be found, and I wanted to post about comics.  Under the cut are those titles I could think of off the top of my head (I may add to it later) that I read and love at least ( Read more... )

What.  The.  Fuck.
