The Week of April 14-20, 2013 (and then some)
This has been a trying week for me personally, as a Bostonian and otherwise. Thankfully, none of my friends or family have been injured or killed, and the greatest tangible impact the week’s events have had on me personally is the postponement of Boston Comic Con. I will miss the energy and community of that event that I feel we could all use right now, but it is a small price to pay for the...

“It’s shameful. I cannot believe something like this can happen in the United States of America…These are not photos of torture. It’s a drawing and it’s one frame.

comiccombatant asked: I totally agree with your post. I would love to see women on titles like Worlds' Finest, Wonder Woman, X-Men, and Fearless Defenders BUT I don't want women to be stuck on books featuring only female characters. I want to see women writing Batman and Superman and the Avengers as much as I want to see them writing Captain Marvel, Katana, and the Birds of Prey!
