The News Blog of Comics Culture

Tweet(Via CBR) The 2008 Eisner Judges have been announced. (Please forgive my second-sourcing blog news items. I know it’s not the best netiquette but I’m just a guest-blogger?) a.i.

TweetThe NY Times profiles DC’s first ongoing woman writer for Wonder Woman – Gail Simone, who also started “Women in Refrigerators.” This (Women in Refrigerators) is a list I made when it occurred to me that it’s not that healthy to be a female character in comics.
