DC Super Hero Girls: Spaced Out #10

I had to mention the latest installment of the digital series DC Super Hero Girls: Spaced Out, #10, because it’s just so darn cute! The story so far has involved Green Lantern Jessica Cruz overcoming her fears, a trip to Oa (the Green Lantern home planet), Supergirl being misled by other Kryptonians, and Wonder Woman dog-sitting Krypto in Supergirl’s absence. It’s the pets that make this issue, written by Shea Fontana and illustrated by Agnes Garbowska, so much fun. Krypto [...]

Cartoons Get Women-Heavy Teams; Comics Are Still the Boys

I found these relatively recent announcements enlightening in their contrast, although I know why the differences exist: Comics are still considered the domain of young males, while cartoons have the potential for greater outreach (and are likely of more interest to Marvel’s corporate parent Disney). Plus, Marvel has probably noticed the success of DC’s Super Hero Girls franchise in sales and impact. So, first, the new Avengers team was trickled out over a few days at the end of last [...]

Collections Are the Future: Make Publishers Commit

I know many people (myself included) who rarely pick up comic miniseries or limited runs these days. Just about everything will be collected, and books are so much easier to buy, read, and handle. Also, they’re not the next hot thing that’s old news within two weeks. A good collection will sell for years. I think most smart publishers these days are only putting out short runs just to finance the artwork, since artists can’t often work ahead without pay, [...]

Gender, Body Issues, and Teen Angst: Alexis Sugden’s Comic

“Gender, Body Issues, and Teen Angst” is Alexis Sugden’s tagline for her comic It’s All for the Breast, her story of why she got breast reduction surgery at age 18. She’s right – it’s a fascinating, well-drawn exploration of those subjects. I appreciate seeing more of these kinds of stories about finding yourself and becoming comfortable with your body and gender being published; it’s a insightful way to understand more about all kinds of people, including those facing challenges a [...]

DC Super Hero Girls are a bonafide phenomenon, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they’ve expanded into toys and DVDs, including an animated version of them as Lego toys, Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain. That movie must have done well, since there’s now another coming out. Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Super-Villain High will be available May 1 on digital and May 15 on DVD. After a mysterious school opens across the street, the students of Super [...]
