Writer Si Spurrier was supposed to be on a “How To Write A Comic Script” panel today at London Super Comics Convention, but in support of Paul Cornell’s pledge to give up his seat on panels to qualified female creators when the panels are fewer than half women, he followed suit and gave his seat to cartoonist Tammy Taylor:
Taylor’s work can be seen on...

It sometimes takes me awhile to realize that the same fantastic art that I am seeing over and over again on Tumblr is coming from the same artist. But the lastest piece by Lynne Yoshii made me go through her DeviantArt account and, eureka!, here’s a great aspiring comic book artist who draws…
These are fantastically gorgeous!

It never fails. Bring up the way women are objectified and hypersexualized in mainstream superhero comics, and I guarantee that you will get more than one response saying, “Men are objectified in comics, too! Look at those big, bulging muscles and the focus on Superman’s chest!”
I always find this kind of funny because I’ve never found Superman particularly sexually...
Got a question for me?
Folks, it seems that my tumblr ASK box is extraordinarily unreliable. I now know multiple times where people have sent me a messages that have never come through. The only way I know about these messages is because some of these people have contacted me by other means, or because they’ve sent more follow up messages until one went through. I’m not even seeing records of their...

So she was Robin? That is so freaking cool!! I totally approve of this, man! Now I actually really really really want to read this.
Apparently? She’s certainly dressed like Robin in the picture in the background, and she’s got a big “R” on her chest…I don’t know any details, but going purely by what I’ve seen so far, I’m more excited about this...

I kinda LIKE the new Power Girl and Huntress outfits.
I just do. I think they’re appealing. I didn’t like some of the new 52 redesigns, but these look nice, and the Perez cover is lovely.
Please commence destruct mode. :)
I do, too! Huntress’s outfit is perfect, especially with all the purple highlights (I kind of want to cosplay it!) Powergirl’s collar is, well,...
Trading Up: Why No 'Boxed Sets' of Comic Books? →
I really hate comic books. No, not comics. I love comics. I hate comic books.
One of my favorite activities is to curl up on the couch with ‘a good book’. As far as I’m concerned, ‘a good book’ can be anything from a prose murder mystery to a trade paperback or a graphic novel. The point is, I like to read. Pictures are optional. What I don’t like is having ...

Anonymous asked: I remember that awhile back you said that you thought the big two should give free samples of digital comics. Marvel does that in their App, the also do special deals on certain days where the decrees the price of some books to 99 cents.
And here's the cover of Worlds' Finest #1

Looks like Power Girl loses her boob window or it is hiding under her red scarf.
And on Earth 2 it looks like Power Girl is Supergirl and Huntress is …. Robin??????
Holy crap.
That actually looks seriously awesome.
