Free Falling

Posted on April 10, 2017 by George

I just realized it’s been well over a month since my last blog post. Since the past few posts have either been about my RPG or politics, I thought I’d surprise everyone with a blog talking about someone else’s work … Continue reading →

Knowledge is Power. And Power is Power.

Posted on November 5, 2015 by George

The power of genre-savviness. It occurred to me just the other day that I have been enjoying this online comic tremendously for over a year now, and never spread the wealth around. So here it is; Grrl Power is a … Continue reading →

Epicosity and Consequences.

Posted on October 11, 2014 by George

I love the look on GL’s face. Seeing the launch of this new Green Lantern arc has got me thinking of epic scale–what I like to call “epicosity”–and consequences in superhero worlds. Because, let’s face it, if we’re talking about … Continue reading →

Marvel Mystery Men

Posted on August 24, 2012 by George

Superhero Noir

Posted on February 24, 2012 by George

Wonder Women; Both Functional And Decorative.

Posted on June 4, 2011 by George

Now that the hoped-for Wonder Woman TV series has died in production, I think this is a good moment to talk about superheroines (or, to be PC, female superheroes) and their treatment in comics and cartoons. I’m not going to … Continue reading →

The Midas Review

Posted on June 3, 2011 by George

Brains are Beautiful

Posted on May 26, 2011 by George

In keeping with Mark William’s Girls Just Want To Have Fun month, I’ve decided to put up the brainiest girl of them all, Agatha Heterodyne. . . . This is Agatha. . . . Agatha is the creation of Phil … Continue reading →

Wild Times

Posted on May 17, 2011 by George

I’ve learned I’ll do anything to avoid writing. Like more research; after enjoying Power Down (see previous post) I pulled out some of my old comics, looking for the ones that I enjoyed the most. One short series–not so old–that … Continue reading →
