yes to this cover, even if a (majority) girl team book by two guys leaves me completely unenthused this was incorrect, devin is a woman, i am now enthused



also yes



that ant-man and wasp book almost had me until i scrolled down and saw that they gave it to waid and not back to whitley

imo having moon girl get into some dustup with wilson fisks never before mentioned daughter or niece or whatever instead of keeping her going with fun cosmic stuff is a bad move, unless that first issue is incredibly good im already seeing myself dropping it for at least that arc

One of the best run on Wonder Woman in the history of the character was written by a man. Squirrel Girl is written by a man. America Chavez was created and defined by a man.

The only male Devin-with-an-i I've ever heard of is Townsend (a song of whose started as I was typing this, freeky).

Also I was about to lol at a Dazzler solo title being attempted again but then I decided to look it up and it's a one-shot. I'm surprised by how few things in that solicit I'm really enthused for. Thor's always been good but I don't like the new artist. I'll still give Iron Man a chance cause I'm not sure I've actually read anything by Slott. Probably jump back on to Deadpool. I've been enjoying Doctor Strange so I don't like that it's getting yet another new writer. Fuckin FOUR Wolverine miniseries and not about the good Wolverine, but all four by good writers so... gently caress, I dunno.
Also Tamaki is the one doing the new X23, right? I'll publicly walk back some of my un-enthusiasm for that replacing ANW because at the time I hadn't realized she wrote the newest (She-)Hulk, which I loved. Still hate the codename thing, still hate that my favourite book is ending, but I've got more confidence in the new title being good.

Ashley and Whitney where both originally boys names. A side effect of gender being a social convention is that sometimes the social convention changes rapidly without warning.

There's very, very few cases of female names becoming male names, but lots of the opposite.

Was anyone a little bummed that at the end of Thor he came back with Jane's body unharmed? I'd imagined her going out in a totally godlike way, cremated by the sun, then nope.
I guess the body's there so they'll revive her as a healthy Thor-less Jane, or whatever, but Odinson returning alone would've been way more powerful.


Also, Comixology has today's new release trades out at 99c, including the entire Spider-Men 2 story.

The clouds were dealt with and no more mutants are getting it, and while its lethality varies from "AIDS but quicker" to "bubonic plague but grosser" to "basically mustard gas" depending on who's writing, it is apparently curable sometimes
