The Mary Sue Exclusive: Preview of Betty & Veronica and Life With Archie

by Susana Polo | 2:23 pm, April 15th, 2013

New thing to fall in love with: Stephanie Buscema’s variant cover for Life With Archie, a serious (yes) soap opera comic that follows the adult lives of the Riverdale gang in two alternate universes: one where Archie married Betty, and one where Archie married Veronica. Unlike most of the comics world, a more “adult” story Life With Archie doesn’t mean sex, but rather a bunch of characters struggling with dreams deferred and the hard realities of working, married life. Not what most people associate with Archie Comics, but then again, neither was Kevin Keller!

But if you’re just looking for your regular Archie fix, you’ll probably like the five page preview we have here of Betty and Veronica #265, an Archie-style retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

The Mary Sue Exclusive Preview of Worlds’ Finest #11 With Huntress and Power Girl!

by Susana Polo | 10:16 am, March 29th, 2013

This month is “WTF” month at DC Comics, which they assure us stands for “What The Fifty-two.” What this means, tangibly, is that each New 52 issue out in April will feature a cover that’s… well, based on what I’ve seen, no more sensationalist than your average sensationalist comics cover. The promise this time, however, is that the stuff on these covers is actually representative of what’s inside, and that each cover is part of a double spread, with the other half of the image revealing an even more sinister twist to the story. Here’s a preview of Worlds’ Finest #11, the book of dimensional refugees, renegade-superheros, and best buds Power Girl and the Huntress.

When Professionals Aren’t: The PAX East Tomb Raider Cosplay Harassment Story

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:31 pm, March 28th, 2013

Convention harassment is just an off-shoot of regular, old harassment but seeing it invade your “safe space” can be tough to stomach. And some people have had enough. At PAX East this past weekend, a journalist (I use that term loosely) decided to interview a group of Lara Croft cosplayers at the new Tomb Raider video game booth. What followed was not a professional interview of fans but rather a chance to treat women in costume not as people, but as sex objects. The Mary Sue spoke with one of the cosplayers involved as well as PAX management about the situation – a situation we’re hearing about far too often these days.
