Superheroines played a larger part in early (Silver Age) Marvel. Due to Stan Lee's notorious difficulty with writing...

There are people in Korra's fanbase who think Korra is a white girl with a tan? I didn't realize that was a thing, but if that's true, that's messed up. She's not a tanned white girl.

I hadn't really thought about it this way before, but I think that's absolutely correct. Not only did Lee and Kirby create a black superhero, they even created a corner of the Marvel Universe around...

Okay, I'm curious: When has this EVER happened? The only time I see that many Gotham vigilantes in the same place is during line-wide crossovers, which tend to have threats large enough to warrant it.

I dunno, I could see the writers doing exactly that every time they write Felicity Smoak's dialogue. I mean this in the best way possible, because Felicity is my favorite character on Arrow.

This article is about the issues faced by writers in the book publishing industry, but there's definite overlap with the comics industry, so I thought I'd share it here:

Worth a look, and hopefully discussion:

This Isn’t Just About Star Wars: The 5 Dumbest Arguments Against Gender Diversity

As far as I'm concerned, the more diversity in comics -- whether in the characters or in the creative/editorial staff -- the better. The general population is becoming more and more diverse as time...

Now every time I read a Ms. Marvel issue, my brain starts playing this song as background music:

"Marvelous" by Adam WarRock

I think diversity of characters is important. A lot of classic characters were created at a time when the default expectation of a character -- and the default expectation of a contributing member of...

I'd have at least a marginal chance of manifesting mutant powers, but since I'd be a citizen of the Marvel Universe, I would have no control over which power I'd have, nor would I have the kind of...

I'm reminded of the entry for Stephanie Brown at TvTropes.org. One of the tropes associated with her is "Overshadowed By Awesome", which basically points out that by the time of her Batgirl tenure,...

I had a really long post in the works about a timeline that contains my headcanon of the Marvel Universe. But I'll just go with a short version that hits the basics of what's different about the...

Y'know, I really like that character design of Cassandra with the unruly hair that has two points sticking straight up like Batman's cowl. I may have to borrow that for my Batgirl fanfic series.

So THAT's where they've been all this time!

I've never seen this one before, but that is absolutely beautiful.

Cassandra is one of my favorite comic book characters ever. She has such a unique upbringing and way of perceiving the world that...
