First of all, as a Scorpio-Slytherin, let me just say that I am here for a revenge story—the more exacting and drawn-out, the better. As a former art historian, I also can’t resist beautiful visuals for a book inspired by real-life historical mysteries, all of which is to say that Shanghai Red, a new Image book by Christopher Sebela, Joshua Hixon, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, is a lot of my favorite things straight out of the gate.

Stephen Byrne created stunning comics panels that imagine what might have come to pass post-Infinity War. My heart hurts.

Together these characters not only shaped me as a person, but really shaped how I view feminism — which is that being a woman doesn't have look a certain way. 

Dr. Zia Rodriguez, a new character in Fallen Kingdom was written to be a lesbian, but that got cut.

When it comes to portraying straight married couples with kids, TV and movies leave a lot to be desired. Too often, women are presented as “do it all” supermoms, and husbands are presented as childlike buffoons, incapable of being responsible parents. As a result, the moms come off as overbearing, but desperately necessary, and the dads come off as another one of the children (think Modern Family's Claire and Phil Dunphy in their most broadly drawn moments).

In our Era of Perpetual Reboots, there is one revived franchise that already proved itself worthy: extending the Rocky universe to feature Apollo Creed's son in the form of Michael B. Jordan.

In the war for Fox's chunk of the Marvel Comic World, Comcast made a surprise bid against Disney's offer of $65 billion. Not one to be screwed out of a possible monopoly, Disney responded today by raising their bid to $71.3 billion for the Fox assets according to The New York Times.

David Harewood and Carl Lumbly (as J'onn and M'yrnn J'onzz) created a perfect black father-son storyline on Supergirl.

The showrunners of Star Trek: Discovery recently exited the show over allegations of verbal and emotional abuse, but if you were worried that would hinder your Star Trek intake, you need not fear.

Hey everyone! I found it, the worst thing that you will ever read!

For more than three decades, Fred Rogers brought kindness and compassion into children's lives through his television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. As one of the millions of children watching, I know I was deeply affected by his presence, but I, like so many other young people, couldn't possibly have realized just how profound, and even how subversive his work was.

The struggle of finding a space between genuine feminine expression and internalization of patriarchal expectation.

Comedian Michelle Wolf had a brilliant segment on The Break with Michelle Wolf about how much our culture of pretending everything is fine and dandy contributes to silence about our own mental health and the stigma around mental illness.

As we get closer to Ant-Man and The Wasp's release date, I'm increasingly interested to see what the movie does with Hannah John-Kamen's Ghost. Ghost will be the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first villain played by a woman of color, and its second-ever female villain onscreen.

For those of us who grew up cisgender and straight, cartoons and films were surface-level entertainment. We didn't have to work too hard to identify with characters on the screen, and we're doing just fine. I'm worried about the children who discover from an early age that they are a part of the LGBTQIA community, but the world around them and the media they see does not represent them. Part of the problem begins with the censorship campaigns created by the group One Million Moms.

Imagine if anti-abortion groups cared about children as much as they care about a fetus.
