pantslesslizard:

comics people defending Rick Remender: Mark Brooks, Cully Hamner, Mark Waid, Cullen Bunn, Dan Slott, Rob Guillory, Cameron Stewart, Ryan Stegman, Ron Marz, James Robinson, Jeff Parker, Tom Brevoort.

because this needs to be shouted from every corner. These people are defending a creator who has used his book to promote racisim, rape, and misogyny and these folks don’t see anything wrong with it.  

Tom Brevoort has been harassing on twitter.

This? This is why I only buy a few, carefully vetted comics. This is why I buy them online and not from a LCS. I don’t want to deal with the shit any more. I have money to spare, gang, and you’d think that would talk louder than their attitudes but I guess not since they still have jobs as creators. 

Why are they so afraid of someone arguing with them? What is wrong with having more than white, male characters in their books with strong storylines?

Hawkeye is AMAZING. Kate is my new favorite. What about young avengers? Anything good in this department? (I just need more Kate Bishop in my life. also lgbt young superheroes or so I’ve heard?)

Pretty much, yeah 😀

Young…

Sadly Hawkeye is coming to a close with #24. Fraction has said that they are ‘winding things up but if they think of something else they might continue’….

There is one more Annie issue, and that’s the end of Kate in L.A.; and then three more David issues. […] if in some point between now and then David has a… if for some reason we decide to keep going, we have certainly enough places to go and things to do, but I think we’re wrapping up

So today this family came into the restaurant and I while I was serving them, their son saw my Iron Man and Captain America charms and said ‘Avengers! I love the Avengers!’ I smiled and asked who his favorite was, and he said “Iron Man!’ with such a conviction that I wanted to melt.

And then I…

This is the same man.

This works quite nicely at debunking the “beefcake guys in comics are objectified for women just like women in comics are for men!”, imo.  On the left: a magazine tailored for a male audience, showing him in full beefcake-type mode with headlines about how you, too, can look like this.  On the right: a magazine tailored for a female audience, which has a headline about romance and shows him looking more or less like a normal dude.

Tell me again how comic book guys are designed for female sexual enjoyment, completely equivalent to anatomically-improbable spines and giant tits with their own individual centers of gravity, and totes aren’t just male power fantasies.

COMMENTARY

This is very important. Look at the difference there – LOOK. Every time some comic-reading shitlord comes to me when I complain about how women are treated in comic art, I want them to LOOK AT THIS and then come back to me and say that shit with a straight face. Cause I’m telling you – Ripped McBullBody isn’t for us. It never, ever was.
