I have been having an argument with a friend and he says that Marvel is for guys, please help me prove to him that there are lots of women who like Marvel!
MARVEL WOMEN ASSEMBLE

WE BROKE 90 THOUSAND!!!
I just realized I don’t know any male Marvel fans. All the comic book guys I know are into the New 52 for some godawful reason.

Peter Parker doesn’t matter anymore.
Peter Parker was the nerdy and awkward teen outcast who got to be a superhero. This was relatable to comic book readers (and later cartoon viewers) who self identified as outsiders and who didn’t see themselves in the other larger than life superheroes like Captain America. Parker might have worked in the 1960s and the decades that followed but in 2015, it’s hard to see a cisgender, straight white guy as a visible outcast. Stories and characters need to evolve which is why we got an African-American Annie as opposed to the red-head we all know. The red-headed Annie no longer makes sense for the story that needed to be told TODAY, when a black girl is more likely to embody who Annie is in relation to the society that surrounds her.

First drawing I did after setting up this slightly better-older comp hahaha;;;; I don’t have a lot of my other programs in this one, but it’ll have to do for now *flops*.
I hope to see an older Peggy meeting tiny baby Tony one day, and telling him amazing stories about Steve :’))))) Marvel, don’t disappoint me, I need this…
- DC announced a new editorial line-up including more female creators (Ming Doyle writing Constantine, swoon) and more female-led books (Black Canary! Starfire! PREZ!).
- I personally am obsessed with the new PREZ, presumably featuring a teenage girl president of the United States, even if I am also extremely skeptical of it.
- Marvel went on THE VIEW to announce a new all-female Avengers book — A-FORCE — written by G. Willow Wilson & Marguerite Bennett and it looks AMAZING.
- And then, Captain Marvel & Ms. Marvel editor Sana Amanat was promoted to Marvel’s new Director of Content & Character Development.
gailsimone ain’t lying. Today is a very good day for women in comics.
Plus!!!
- Cyborg, a prominent black hero, is not only getting his own book, he’s going to be written by a black man (David Walker)!
- Midnighter, a gay hero, is getting his own solo title!
- Annie Wu is drawing Black Canary!
- Starfire is being written and drawn by female creators (Amanda Conner (with Jimmy Palmiotti) and Emanuela Lupacchino, respectively)!
- Chinese-American writer Gene Luen Yang (author of the acclaimed graphic novel The Shadow Hero, which I really want to read) is writing Superman! (And Shadow Hero artist Sonny Liew drawing Dr Fate!)
- Genevieve Valentine, who was originally slated to write only one Catwoman arc, is continuing as the series writer!
- Look at the tonal shift! Bizarro? Bat-Mite?? Prez??? These are not the kind of books I’d have expected to see in the all grimdark, all the time New 52 even a year ago.

MARVEL 4ever!
Avengers: Age of Ultron sneak peek on ABC
No, but let’s talk about the little pout frown Thor gives Steve when he actually manages to MOVE HIS MIGHTY HAMMER! It’s so quick and so easy to miss if you weren’t looking at that exact moment. And then there’s the relief that he feels when Mjolnir stays sitting firmly on the table, waiting for someone who’s truly worthy. Waiting for someone who’s capable. WAITING FOR THOR. And he smiles and laughs because was there ever any doubt?
