Well, they have given CBR the news about a new creator-owned book by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney, Men Of Wrath. [blah, blah, blah] He describes the book, and the lead character hitman Ira Wrath—

Little known fact: Ira Wrath is, in fact, the birth name of the host of This American Life.
There are more ladies working on Lumberjanes than there are in the whole of Marvel’s September solicits. It’s ridiculous.
Hey, remember when Marvel launched its “Characters and Creators” initiative to boost female representation at the publisher? That was less than half a year ago.
Is it a conscious decision to keep Amelia single? I personally think it’s great either way that she doesn’t fall into the whole, “If only I had a man…”funk some writers put their female characters in.
Now this is Adam answering and I am answering for me here, really so keep that in mind. THAT SAID: On my end it came from a place of “She doesn’t have TIME.” Just being realistic here. She’s a busy, busy woman holding down a really strange job and in a place that, while she is used to it, is still fairly new to her all told. Doesn’t mean she won’t eventually have a relationship (And wait a second! Who says it would be with a man? Or with a human? Or with any specific gender over any other? We’ve never had her in a relationship so we haven’t mentioned her preferences in that area yet. Hell, she may be asexual. Perfectly fine thing to be. We’re not telling as of now.) but if she is ever in a place to have a relationship it is something I feel we would discuss amongst ourselves a good long time before pulling the trigger on so that we could do it justice and with all the care we put into everything about Amelia.
TL;DR – Yeah – she’s kinda in a war right now, bad time to go out on dates.
I don’t know what it says about me that I have never even once thought “I wonder why Amelia doesn’t have a boy- or girlfriend” during the… two years, I guess, of me reading the series.
Ultimately, Internet outrage is the milquetoast cousin to direct action, a way to protest by tapping and clicking rather than boycotting and marching. It is a noble endeavor to become incensed about a cause and risk arrest or toil without acclamation for one’s deeply held beliefs. Less honorable is joining a digital pile-on as a means of propping up one’s ego, even if it comes in the form of entertaining zings.

fake dichotomies will be the death of me
thinkpieces about outrage will be the other death of me
people who talk about outrage in generalized times will be the other other death of me

I went into Dynamite’s Gold Key reboot with somewhat tempered expectations.
Sometimes, you write 1,500 words on four comic book series. What can I tell you?

Cartoon Brew article is Bad, Stop Reblogging it.
So yeah, I linked the Cartoon Brew article as it was the first “news/blog article” stating Page got fired for being a piece of shit. I didn’t know Cartoon brew had been abusive to Emily until after I posted it and bigbigtruck made a post saying the article was bad. .
If a non-Cartoon Brew article hits stating the news he was fired please send it to me so that can get posted instead of linking people that are abusive toward victims.
Thanks.
Nope the link to Bravo contest still don’t work, ordering it anyways. The question: I assume it is ok to use Lady Sabre &Pirates of Ineffable Aether in my Steampunk comics lecture/panel held in next september? But why steampunk especially?
1) OK, looking into why it’s working for me and not working for anyone else.
2) Absolutely. I’m honored.
3) Because I love the aesthetic, and the ability to revisit a very romanticized period with the liberty of pure-fiction to justify editing those elements of history that are, at their best, problematic.
Said on Twitter, but the link worked for me so that’s… two of us, at least?
