Comics, Anyone? 12 years agoJust getting into comics, the only one I have read is Buffy season 8. Any recommendations on where to start?

Get these. They will make you a happy gay:
Gotham Central (series from 2003, now collected in four trade paperbacks. You will love Renee Montoya)
Batwoman: Elegy (required lesbian comic book reading. The trade paperback collects a series of issues from Detective Comics that feature the most awesomely lesbinoic superhero ever.)
Batwoman…[Read more]

also, HUNTRESS is getting her own little bit of a book!
-
-
Also! Strangers in Paradise (by Terry Moore), Hopeless Savages (by Jen Van Meter), Blue Monday (by Chynna Clugston…get ready to have a crush on Clover)…also French Milk (by Lucy Knisley) and Blankets (Craig Thompson).
WHOO INDIES!
Also support my company and read Hexed. It’s grand.
-
Sharks did a great job of covering the lesbo hero basics and Shannon did a great job covering a lot of the Indies (looks like I’ll be picking up Hexed!) but I’ll add a few.
The Scott Pilgrim books (Bryan Lee O’Malley) if you like indieness and movie games and slackers in Toronto, you’ll probably like this. Ramona has a Bi-curious stage that’s…[Read more]

i second the Runaways series #somuch Also, Plain Janes by Castellucci
-
-
If you want to get into mainstream Marvel comics, I highly recommend Runaways, Young Avengers, and anything from the Marvel Adventures line–they’re great introductions to the larger universe, as well as very well-written. (Well, mostly. We won’t speak of Joss’s run or some of the tragic art and writing of Civil War). If you get lost as to…[Read more]

‘Strangers in Paradise’ is an excellent place to start for both gayness and delightful characters/complex storylines.
‘Transmetropolitan’ by Warren Ellis is good if you like batshit insane. Spider Jerusalem is a gonzo journalist in the future. Technology may change, but people and politics not so much.
‘The Sandman’ by Neil Gaiman is a classic…[Read more]

Comics, Anyone? 12 years agoCraig Tompson’s ‘Habibi’ is… I… I’m still processing it. It’s gorgeous and heartbreaking. I’m probably going to have to read it again because there’s so much going on in that book I know I missed some things.

Sooo how do you ladies deal with men who think that feminism is personally attacking them, and not the overarching patriarchal system and society?
-
I have a Master’s in Women’s Studies and I…never really figured this one out. I would just try to explain to them very quickly and generally that it’s not about criticizing individual people, but rather the systems and structures of society. After that, if they still feel personally offended and defensive, then honestly, you’re better off…[Read more]

What really pisses me off is when they openly recognize class privilege but when it comes to racism/sexism, you can get them to admit that it exists but it’s like “well yeah it exists, but youre just being sensitive. lololol :) i looovvveee women tho, im not sexist so I dont wanna worry about it”
It’s just shitty when you expect more out of them.…[Read more]-
Yeah, that is especially frustrating. I guess this is another version of what Annika called The Douchebag Purge. Now you know who the douches are, so you can know not to fully trust them or just avoid them altogether!
