"Heavy Metal" Artist Finds Breastfeeding on 'Saga'... →
It looks like the blog post that started this whole discussion has been deleted. Still, it’s good to see Saga and Fiona’s art getting some more press. Even if it’s for the most absurd of reasons.

Dave Dorman is an artist whose work has been featured in Heavy Metal, the European adult comics magazine which frequently features erotic art and comics.

Farewell 2011: The Year of the Comics
It’s the last day of what ended up being a pretty eventful year for me. I suspect that, looking back, I’ll remember 2011 as the year I figured out how damn much I love writing comics.
I’ve been focused on screenwriting primarily for the past few years, and I spent the first four months of the year finishing one screenplay draft and writing another. But then in May, I heard about...

“It’s not as if women some sort of mysterious homing pigeon hormones that allow...”
– Alyssa Rosenberg on the issue of why, perhaps, Marvel & DC can’t sustain success with female audiences to the point that they’ll continue to publish titles they’d want to read. She mentions Dan Slott’s fantastic She-Hulk run and that maybe it didn’t have better success because women didn’t know...

I’ve somehow managed to go my entire life without really knowing much about Doctor Who. I saw a single episode a while back and it made no impression. But people I love and respect love and respect the show, so I thought I would give it a try.
Everyone said start with the reboot, the Eccleston…

Womanthology Sketchbook Available Now on Amazon! →
The Womanthology: Heroic Sketchbook that was a pledge incentive for the Kickstarter campaign is now available for sale on Amazon! I got a chance to flip through it at LBCC and it’s a really nice little book. It should be a great companion to the anthology itself, so pick it up now if you need something to help tide you over until Womanthology drops.
One of my favorite things about the...

Womanthology @ Comikaze Expo
This weekend is the first Comikaze Expo, a new comic and pop culture convention in Los Angeles. The lineup looks pretty good and I’m excited to hit up a show so close to home.
I’m even more excited to be one of the speakers on the Womanthology panel on Saturday. I was on the panel last week at Long Beach Comic Con as well, but this one looks like it’s going to be much bigger (in...

Womanthology has officially hit the PREVIEWS catalog! It will be in comic shops in January. If you want to order a copy (you do because it’s awesome) through your local comic book store (you do because supporting local businesses/the direct market is also awesome), the magic code is NOV110296.

DC Comics doing market research into new 52 with... →
dcwomenkickingass:
As part of the new 52, DC Comics is doing market research on its readers in partnership with Nielsen.
A letter announcing the survey was sent out earlier this week to LCSs and the text of which reads:

Yet Another Female Fan Weighs in on Catwoman #1
One of my favorite announcements out of the DC Comics New 52 launch was news that Catwoman would be getting her own series again. As a kid, the Jim Balent-drawn Catwoman series was what really made me a comic book reader. I’d picked up a few issues of The Batman Adventures (the Batman: The Animated Series tie-in comic), but Catwoman was the first book I actively hunted down in the bookstore...

Amanda Waller: A unique presence in comics
dcwomenkickingass:
Despite the fact that she’s murdered people, illegally sent people to prison, black mailed people, run a covert government organization that resulted in people being killed, I have great love for Amanda Waller. Amanda was different than other female characters. She had power. She never played by the rules. She had her own agenda and did not suffer fools gladly. And she is a...

New preview pages from Catwoman #1
dcwomenkickingass:
Here for your reading pleasure, courtesy of DC Comics, are new preview pages of Catwoman.
Catwoman, as you can see, has a lot of bras. They are one of her few possessions. I am not making this up. To quote the dialogue about what some bad guys will find when they toss her home:
“The won’t find anything except bras, books, wine and catfood.”

Thoughts on Justice League #1
Last night I went to the midnight launch event at my regular comic book store, House of Secrets in Burbank. The place was more packed than I’ve ever seen it, which was really a fantastic sight. There’s life in the direct market yet.
I hung out and chatted with friends for a while. Drove home. Changed into PJs. Brushed my teeth. Checked my email a few times. It was only then that I...

DC New 52 Tidbit - Power Girl
Today I went by my local comic shop to drop off my pull list for the DC Comics New 52. There’s only four series I’m planning to get regularly at the moment, but I’ll be checking out quite a few of the #1s. Possibly a few too many, but I consoled myself by pointing out it was less than half and therefore totally reasonable.
While I was there, I ran into none other than Mister...

Five Reasons Why Supergirl Isn't That Horrrible a...
One of my favorite non-animated movies when I was little was Supergirl. It’s a movie I still pull out and watch every few years or so. Yes, willingly. I wouldn’t call it a great film or anything; the script is silly, the pacing much too slow, and the love interest all kinds of creepy. But for me at least, the movie holds up as well as (or maybe even better than) Superman III: The Quest...

Let me warn you this post has little to do with parenting until the end, at which point you’ll realize the whole thing actually has a lot to do with parenting.

The Value of Work and Womanthology
There’s currently a lot of discussion going on about how women (and creators in general) need to be paid for their work in comics and entertainment. I agree with this 1000% because I like having food and shelter and an internet connection.
However the dialogue somehow changed into anger about the Womanthology contributors not being paid for their work despite the amount of money the...

“Oh, by the way, you’ll get something for your hard work. We were totally planning this all along. It’s just a coincidence that we never mentioned this until after people complained about it and after many of our contributors paid $50 because they had been led to believe this was the only way to get a book.” -My interpretation.
Bah. I shouldn’t complain about things turning out how...
