I probably should make notes of when I bought particular comics, if only for my own reference.

I went to the comic shop today to drop off an order from Diamond Previews.

I looked around the racks. Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #1 is out, but I am avoiding SIXIS, so nope. (Yes, I know it's meant to be AXIS ( Read more... )

A couple of days ago I decided I'd been sitting around the house too much, and I walked downtown and bought a stack of comics:

Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman #1: Wow, I was not real happy with this. I don't like Ethan van Sciver's art in general, and the lead story was illustrated by him. I wasn't really that impressed with either script ( Read more... )

I am the worst Captain America fan. I'm one of the least flag-wavy people you are likely to meet, and thus not automatically a fan of the kind of trademark Captain America is, and I don't generally buy the book ( Read more... )

A couple weeks ago, I guess, I ran across some DVD's at the store. There was a double package with Romeo Must Die, which I remember liking, and Cradle 2 the Grave, which I don't think I've ever seen but I think I remember Becca posting about. There was also the animated Wonder Woman with voices by Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion, and Alfred Molina, ( Read more... )

Do you want to do a feminist book?
Do you want a female Superman?
Do you want to play around in the DCU?

If you answered, "No," to the first one, why are you writing Wonder Woman?

He's young enough, he could have been named after the Wondy character.

"...the myth that Wonder Woman works as a leading super-hero."
"Oh, how is that? I'm curious to know why a character like her cannot carry a story of her own...."Well, she can. She's just not as commercial as people seem to expect, and it's not just because she's a woman ( Read more... )

I'm not thrilled with the villainization of the Amazons again in Flashpoint. And if the rumors are true that this time they're really going to reset Wonder Woman to some semblance of pre-Pérez tropes (not that that's ever completely happened yet, really), an specifically if they put Steve Trevor back in as love interest, well, I'm done ( Read more... )
