I can see where I am going

I am having a super-lurkery week! Just one of those times when I generally feel like I'm stuck on a "taking things in" setting, reading and reading and not interacting very much. (I don't just mean on the internet, either.) I have no idea if that makes any sense, but. Hi. o_____o

One thing I should really, really read less of is all the DC

Oh, I just ... I don't know. I've given up trying to follow either DC or Marvel's logic whenever they pull a stunt like this.

"Yay, we're more diverse! Quick, hide several of our most popular female characters and retcon away(?) the most beloved, iconic disabled character in all of superhero comics." Sure, guys. (I mean, not that there haven't been some really good steps! Above all: a whole bunch of COC-led books, that's fantastic! Wonder Woman in potentially capable hands, maybe? And on a different note ... Grant Morrison writing Superman again, we should get some good stories from that! But also ... so much WTF.)

Also, at some point I need to write something about the portrayal of female characters in superhero comics, and how it's often down to anatomy and artist choices rather than costume design alone (pants will totally fix everything, right guys?).

Forgive me for skipping over the serious stuff to say I ♥ Michiru's hair.

Hee, thank you. I had so much fun drawing it.

I have an alarming amount of talk in me about that. /o\ Seriously.

Awww, thanks! It was fun to play with. ♥

I think my mouth literally dropped open when I heard about Barbara Gordon in the reboot...

As for retailers, it's so, so important for Modern Myths to be welcoming to all. I can't believe that comic shops are still treating women that way.
