It's mostly boring. I kept thinking "who cares" when I read it, which is not usually what I think when reading Moore.

There's a person who's entire gimmick is posting long, philosophical sounding life affirmations on top of keanu reeves images to facebook and passing them off as real things he said. I don't think they're doing it as a joke, either.

The assertion that half of all Amazons are trans women is also absurd, since babies born with penises are not obviously cis or trans at time of birth and a big deal was made about Diana's maybe-brother being born male.

It'd also defeat the whole purpose of the trans rights movement if they just indoctrinated everyone into being whatever their idea of a girl is. The whole point is that gender assignment at birth is bullshit, "everyone is a girl regardless of genitals!" is missin the point hard. Once contact with other civilizations started, you'd end up with trans men who were born with dicks.

Huh, I kind of want to write a speculative fiction story like that now.

I guess this is the only way you can get a solo book published for an LGBT Marvel character: bring it to Image instead.

They're also banking on their interpretation/creation of the character being what people love, rather than later writers and artists work on that character. If you asked a bunch of people who created America Chavez I bet a lot of them would say Gillen/McKelvie.

So don't expect that in the Image book, Barry.



(Well, and as much as someone who comes from a universe with only women can really be gay.)

Yeah, Gillen is the one that defined Miss America for Marvel. This seems like they're just wanting to get sued.

I do hope maybe now that Gillen is finishing Darth Vader that he and Rocafort do a Miss America solo series.

That won't happen if only because it would be my dream book.

But yeah, if Casey and Dragotta DID pitch an America Chavez book to Marvel, I bet they turned it down because they wanted someone else on it.

You could at least post the Simon/Kirby Fighting American that was created as a direct reaction to Atlas's relaunch of Captain America in the 50s.

I've been reading a lot of Brubaker and Darwyn Cooke stuff lately and along with this talk of Moore's work, it got me thinking.

I've enjoyed literally everything I've read by both Brubaker and Cooke, and I can't think of any other writers for whom that holds true. My other favorites, like Lemire or BKV, either have particularly crappy books or else have a noticable hole in their game (BKV's inability to finish books without going off the rails).

So... Who are the creators who can do no wrong by you?
