Apologies in advance if this is not news? Walking by the Halloween candy yesterday, four DC Superheroes on Reese’s PBCs. Bruce of course, Clark would a safe bet, and DC’s darling-boy-let’s-put-him-everywhere Hal. Fourth? Sorry, Barry, you’re sitting this one out, it’s our favorite Amazon. So happy! Love Barry, but Diana’s been dissed too much (HELLO, HOSTESS). I googled for some kind of announcement but failed. Each (single) cup has a logo, and I fished around until I saw Double W. Yay!

Oh that’s so cool. I have not seen them. Is this in the US? I’ll have to look for them.

It’s really funny to me that people are so critical of female comic book readers. I worked in a comic shop for a couple of years and I got a lot of weird shit about being there. People would test my knowledge and question if I was interested in comics, as if I only worked there to be pretty behind the counter. I managed the store at one point and people would ask where the real manager was. I don;t understand why it’s such a boy’s club.

It seems, oftentimes, that DC is constantly bent on finding new ways to take a gigantic crap on female, POC, LGBT, disabled, and just plain new readers, up to and including those who are vocal about fair representation. I was hoping the DC relaunch would fix this, but the ratio of amazing-to-tone-deaf seems pretty stuck, to the point where only five or six books are keeping me hooked on comics at all. DC framed this as the thing that gives the masses comics, not the finger. What keeps you going?

Thanks for recommending Batwoman to me; I read the first issue and had to go back for Elegy. I really enjoy her character and look forward to the future issues. Totally unrelated, but kinda is, has there been a green light on a Wonder Woman film adaptation?

how many Marvel comics are you at? Also, have you ever read Powers by Brian Michael Bendis? I think you’d like Deana Pilgram.
