OKay. Fine. Fine. I give!

Hey, comic people on my friendslist? Anyone want to give a girl some pointers on how to get into this fandom? You know what kind of thing I like, I'm assuming, and I've sporadically read X-Men in the past, so I at least know who the players are, there. Well, sort of.

ETA: If it helps, from reading scans_daily, I seem to be developing an odd affection for this Bart fellow. Hm.

D'oh! I forgot Devin Grayson (who wrote a really good miniseries about Arsenal that I may have to send you), and Gail Simone, my two favourite female comics writers. Currently Grayson's writing Nightwing (which I don't read), and Simone is writing Birds of Prey. Grayson is a bit of a slasher who believes that Robin/Nightwing loves Batman, and it very much shades her writing, even if its not outright. Simone just writes really good stories. Both of them are comics fans first, and you can tell through their writing. (Simone is actually the woman who started the Women in Refrigerators (http://www.the-pantheon.net/wir/) site).

Accept that if you are not a feminist when you start reading comics, you will be in a month.
