Trans people in our media are today just now gaining ground in all mediums as we become more visible in society and are (somewhat) less demonized. Trans creators are becoming slowly more prominent but for the most part trans stories are still told by cis people. These portrayals, partially in attempt to move away from…
The new series for Marvel’s Mockingbird dropped today and gives us a mystery concerning the titular character as she finds mixing super drugs isn’t always for the best. Women creative teams are in short supply in comics and Mockingbird is a nice exception as it is written by Chelsea Cain, drawn by Kate Niemczyk, and…
Wonder Woman’s origins have changed a lot over the years for better or worse as writers have tried to provide their own take on the character and who she was. Legend of Wonder Woman gives us the origin story that is both familiar with many of its elements but with new an interesting twists to the story. Some minor…
There is a new DC universe fan film out, The Demon in the Dark, following the Secret Six as they try to navigate Gotham while being hunted by a mysterious dark figure (Give you a guess who that might be). Despite a rather small budget of $5000, the film in interesting and action packed.
The Adventures of Supergirl, a tie in comic to the CBS series, debuted today wherever digital comics are sold. This is the first issue of a 13 issue digital first series which will later be collected into a graphic novel. The first 21 page issue though is a strong start to recommend the series.
Batman is back in the NuDCAU film Batman: Bad blood. A sequel to other Batman films in the line including last year’s Batman vs Robin, Bad Blood follows the Batfamily and Gotham struggling to handle the disappearance of Batman. The film introduces two new heroes from the comics for the first time to the screen,…
Supergirl is back with a pretty solid episode! When Winn’s dad break’s out of jail we get a very Winn focused episode that actually was mostly good for his character? Spoilers below! Feel free to post your reviews or thoughts.
Starhammer, the new superhero comic, answers the age old question of “What happens if you wake up and find a floaty starry hammer following you around?”. There isn’t much to the comic yet, just having begun in October, but it is off to a great start so far!
A series of innocent but fun tweets between Laura Jane Grace, lead singer of the band Against Me!, and the official Star Wars twitter has gotten fans excited and petitioning for her to have a cameo in Episode VIII. Tweeting #TrueTransForceRebel has been a popular way to support the trans woman singer. I very much…
No one else is doing a Supergirl thread and I wanna ramble about it and you can’t stop me! So begins the (hopefully) regular Supergirl thread where I will probably ramble about the episode with some spoilers and you can feel free to post your reviews and thoughts and feelings and macaroni art in the comments.
The most anticipated game ever, some say, Fallout 4 has been out a few weeks now and now that most of us have had a few weeks to play through it and maybe remember to try and beat it we can have a discussion on the game. Where we can talk about Spoilers freely and without a 140 character limit! So here are my thoughts…
Some crossovers just make sense! And others you would never think of but are amazing and work anyways. I didn’t know realize I wanted this mashup until Polaris gave us this. I mean, look at Connie’s adorable little outfit! I think the mashup gets the characters matched pretty well though I don’t know if Jasper is…
Trans characters in comics are still far and few between despite the growing visibility and awareness of transgender people in the world. Still today’s release of Batgirl #45 was a hallmark for having the first trans character getting married in comics. But this week was a great week in comics not just for that, but…
There is a new Scooby Doo show out and maybe its just where I hang out, but what little buzz I have heard about it is negative. Still I thought I needed to give it a try so last night I caught up with the first 4 episodes and was surprised by it.
Justice League is coming as I am sure you have seen by now! And so far details are extremely vague with just a name, a tiny picture to squint at, and a tweet confirming it is real only. So lets speculate!
Does DC have robot spies in my brain? The answer is yes because they are giving us a cartoon about super hero girls. In a Bizarro universe where apparently every hero is in high school (look don’t think too hard about it), we follow some of our favorite heroes (and anti-Hero and villain who sometimes heroes) as they…
Women are a minority in Hollywood. Not only in front of the camera in starring roles, but behind it as well. From the lowliest crew member to the Hollywood Executive, a large majority of those working on a film are men. And that reflects in how women are portrayed in our media, even in films that say have a female…
How It Should Have Ended’s parody of Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood is great and chock full of pop culture characters. Batman and Superman used to be best buds, chilling and drinking coffee together, but now they have bat blood.
Poor Beeker can never catch a break. When Dr. Bunsen’s (PH.D., ESQ., INCOMP, CSICOE) anti-insomnia machine fails Beeker has to deal with a looong night with only Counting Flowers on The Wall. That and apparently having fake romantic dates with Bunsen.
The Legend of Korra gave us the miracle of Korrasami and the world rejoiced! The upcoming comics are widely anticipated both for continuing the story of the world of Avatar but also to let us see more of what happens with Korrasami. Fortunately the show also has amazing voice actors! At a convention Janet Varney did a…
