If Jonathan Coulton and Greg Pak‘s Kickstarter gets $7k more dollars, they’ll make a comic for kids based on Coulton’s song “The Princess Who Saved Herself,” which is about a princess who convinces all the monsters that threaten her to join her rock band, as a stretch goal. I’ll just leave a link to it here. (MTV Geek, Youtube, Kickstarter)

We admit, part of the reason we find this Hitler Learns video so funny is because it touches on comic book journalism, something we’re actually a part of. While The Mary Sue may not be solely about comics, we’re fans of many sites that are, so we were bummed to hear AOL shuttered Comics Alliance yesterday and left a gaping hole in great comic book coverage. In response, Zack Smith of Newsarama and MTV Geek put together this video. Hopefully you will appreciate it as much as we did.

I haven’t posted the reveal panel here just in case anyone would rather find out through reading, but as long promised and delayed by crossover events and other… things, Gail Simone‘s Batgirl #19 reveals/reintroduces a character as transgender this week, and as an achievement in diversifying the current DC universe, that’s nothing to slouch at.

Indie comic fans, get ready: Jess Fink is bringing sexy back…in time, that is. As a longtime fan, I was thrilled to get a chance to catch up with Jess to talk about her new book, time travel, Star Trek, female heroes, and the timeless inspiration of good smut.

Character deaths aren’t an unusual thing in comic books but a huge nerve was hit yesterday when it was revealed DC Comics was planning to kill off Green Lantern John Stewart. The news came out amidst two more DC writers stepping off their new titles before any issues hit stores. Hit the jump for reasons, rumors, and more.

Kevin Warren drew this as an illustration of some tweets by comics journalist Chris Sims, which you can read here. Because a female fighter pointedly putting her hair up should have the same cinematic caché as a scientist pointedly taking his glasses off. It’s the opposite of the Samurai Jack effect, where when his hair came out of his ponytail, you know that shit just got real.

PBS’s Off Book series has done a really interesting job of taking a look at some of the new communities and new ideas about community that have arisen with the internet. Today, they’re talking about webcomics, and while no eight minute video could possibly cover the entire breadth of the webcomics community, this is a good introduction to the way webcomics are becoming a new and powerful distribution and creation model for the comics industry. Also, it’s got Christina Xu of Breadpig and Lucy Knisley of Stop Paying Attention!

Marjane Satrapi‘s Persepolis, if you haven’t read it (and I highly recommend you do, perhaps after borrowing it from your local library) is a memoir of growing up in a secular and feminist family during the first decade of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, a family that eventually decided that in order to keep their daughter safe without going against everything they’d already taught her about confidence and morality was to get her out of the country. Its two part narrative touches on religion, self-confidence and self-discovery, morality, femininity, justice, and protest, among many other issues.
So I can understand why many librarians in Chicago were puzzled by a direct order to remove the book, which is actually part of the curriculum in some classrooms, from libraries, classrooms, and even the hands of student borrowers.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
