Erika Fucking Larsen

The latest "nonsense" (his words, not mine) run through the Regenderizer:

"I mean, there have been a number of gruesome torture scenes involving ripe young males squirming and arching their bodies in poses designed to titillate. That's caused a few men to get bent out of shape and pissed off at the comic book industry as a whole, as if every person involved in the creative process, on every book from every publisher was guilty of perpetrating the very deed that was depicted.

And that's not entirely fair.

Which isn't to say that it's "right" to depict such things either, but people do get tortured on occasion so it's not entirely unrealistic (although they seldom look "sexy" in the process, I'll grant you). "

(Obviously, click to read the whole thing.)

Oh yeah. Uh huh, it's your birthday...

What I Want In Comics #3

Technically, this would be what I want in a comics movie, but I include it here because I like it so much. Is there Wolverine/Cyclops slash out there?

Presenting "Brokeback Mutant":

An Interview With Me! (6/1/2006)

Check out my short but sweet interview at Invasion of The Pod People, a new podcast review site run by Daisy Timm.

I said things like this:

"As for doing a podcast at all, I just thought it was ridiculous that there were like ten different comics podcasts out there, and not one involved a woman. I figured that I knew enough and had strong enough opinions to make this work - hey, I'm a woman and I read comics! And, yes, part of me feels like I need to stand up for all the women who read comics, and seek out the good comics and complain about giant inflatable tits."

Giant Inflatable Tits(tm). I manage to work that into every conversation, don't I?
