Barbarian Diana takes no shit from Claw. :)
One of the many scenes that make your Wonder Woman run amazing.

Well, let it pass, he thought; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.

How apt, Mr. Fitzgerald. (via thatswhatshanesaid) |
People were asking to see Hiccup’s suit, so here is his take on the iron man design. With a bonus comic thrown in, because I loved this scene in Iron Man 2.
Part of the now ridiculously out of control ‘rise of the brave tangled wreck-it dragons avengers’ crossover. For the rest of the verse, check here. If you have any requests, let me know and I will try to get to them.
Thanks!
I think I’m in love
… I have passed beyond “in love” and have reached “rabid need for more”.
“I said I’ve gone to therapy. I went to therapy. I said ‘Fine I’ll talk to a therapist and see what they have to say’. Because I do struggle with - I get anxiety about certain things. Press and things like that. And all of those things were tied into Marvel responsibilities.”

Junot Diaz on Men Who Write About Women
The Atlantic: It sounds like you're saying that literary "talent" doesn't inoculate a writer—especially a male writer—from making gross, false misjudgments about gender. You'd think being a great writer would give you empathy and the ability to understand people who are unlike you—whether we're talking about gender or another category. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Junot Diaz: I think that unless you are actively, consciously working against the gravitational pull of the culture, you will predictably, thematically, create these sort of fucked-up representations. Without fail. The only way not to do them is to admit to yourself [that] you're fucked up, admit to yourself that you're not good at this shit, and to be conscious in the way that you create these characters. It's so funny what people call inspiration. I have so many young writers who're like, "Well I was inspired. This was my story." And I'm like, "OK. Sir, your inspiration for your stories is like every other male's inspiration for their stories: that the female is only in there to provide sexual service." There comes a time when this mythical inspiration is exposed for doing exactly what it's truthfully doing: to underscore and reinforce cultural structures, or I'd say, cultural asymmetry.
A shameful first place for Wisconsin. More fine reporting from Urban Milwaukee’s Bruce Murphy:
No state comes close to Wisconsin in imprisoning black males. The study found that 12.8 percent, or 1 in 8 of African American working age men, were incarcerated. That rate is 32 percent higher than the second worst state, Oklahoma, and nearly double the national average of 6.7 percent (or 1 in 15).
Damnit, Wisconsin… (Also all the other states are terrible.)

Fantastic job, everyone.
Why we should use the Oxford Comma
A direct quote from The Times newspaper, talking about a Peter Ustinov documentary and saying that:
“highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector”.
I’m normally a supporter on the Oxford comma, but if it will stop lines like that from happening I may change my stance. ;)
Marvel Comics pauses to reflect on the untimely passing of writer Robert Morales, a man whose dedication to diversity widened and deepened the history of the Marvel Universe.
Kinda Fun, Top Ten Stories By Me At Comics Should Be Good
For those of you coming to Octocon this year and are looking for some great Gail stories!
http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2013/04/14/the-greatest-gail-simone-stories-ever-told/
They have a list of the top ten Simone stories as chosen by Comics Should Be Good. It’s a fun list, I’m happy to see most of the choices on there.
Do you agree with their choices, or disagree? What would you choose as number one? Are there any stories you feel SHOULD be on there?
Just for fun, not taking it seriously. :)
My favourites are Wonder Woman and Batgirl, but I haven’t read many Gail Simone stories I haven’t loved. :)
Danielle

-DaniNothing to be sorry about. Not a thing.
