Queer Comic Book Character: Naked Justice (Oct 28th)
Normally, I keep this blog pretty PG-13. Or more that I just don’t talk about explicitly erotic comic books. However, I couldn’t resist throwing in the Naked Justice by Patrick Fillion because those comics books are campy, porny fun. And … Continue reading

Queer Comic Book Character: Thundra (Oct 26th)
Thundra is something of Marvel’s answer to feminism, in an attempt to mock or make fun of it. At least in her beginnings in the early 1970s. Thundra’s a Femizon from an alternative universe 23rd century Earth which is ruled … Continue reading

Queer Comic Book Characters: Grace Choi (Oct 23rd)
Grace Choi is part Bana Amazon and metahuman. She has super strength, durability, and healing powers. Grace has mostly appeared in DC’s The Outsiders. She’s pretty distinct as a 7-foot-tall Asian American woman with many tattoos. Grace is known to … Continue reading
Time to stop asking where all the women reading comics because here's one, right in front of you. Reviews and general comic book squeeing by Erica McGillivray (and a few others). I love She-Hulk, tiny baby polar bears, and a good book.
