Got an essay up at Shotgun Reviews about Watchmen and aging. Check it out.
The Watchmen trailer is beautiful, a comic fan’s wet dream—it’s lush and dark and brooding and scary, and the world is perfect. It gives away a little too much, but that’s not my biggest complaint.
It rubbed me the wrong way only for one reason—the ages are all wrong.

I’m quite happy with this interview that just went up today on Newsarama. G. Willow Wilson is a journalist turned comic book writer, and her excellent new book Air just hit stands yesterday. My local shop was already sold out, so you might have to ask your shop to re-order, but check it out. It’s quite good.
And check out my interview, please. There’s a link to click to recommend it, and I’d appreciate if you did that too, but enjoy the story.

So I recently wrote an article on the 20th anniversary of the Sandman for Comic Foundry magazine. It will be in the next issue, so pick it up.
I made an excellent playlist to listen to while I was re-reading and staring at interview transcripts and writing, and though I can’t share my actual music with you, I thought I’d share my list, anyway. Isn’t there an option on iTunes somewhere that you can make a playlist and people can download things if they want them? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
Anyway, list below the fold. Because it’s really long. But I put in some pictures, too. Read more »

This time with Highly Educated Anthropological Analysis. From Isabelle, whom I befriended at WWChicago, and got quoted heavily. (See if you can guess which one’s me. Like it ain’t obvious.)

We will now have a break from talk of feminism and whether or not I’m a sellout to the patriarchy. Why? Because I’m going to talk about a big summer action movie!
Which was amazing. Get on seeing it now. For those of you that haven’t, there be spoilers below, so click at your peril….

If you’re at all interested in comics, comics for girls, Ryan Kelly, or Brian Wood, or just in giving me some love, my review with Janelle of The New York Four is here and my blurb on the BUST blog is here.
If you go to the one on Newsarama, hitting Recommend would be awesome–we’re currently the 5th most recommended, and I’d like to see that go up. Comments are excellent, too. Want to show the men in the industry that comics for women are a good investment, as are woman critics.
Plus, you should check out the book. It’s really cute.

Williamsburg, that is. But then some guy roped us into eating at his restaurant by promising free drinks–and it was so heavenly.
Then I found a feminist film theory anthology with the out-of-print Mulvey essay I was referencing below. For $7. So now I can polish that entry up and try to submit it somewhere…
And now I actually feel creative again.
