Because some people really do pick at random. And the table for kids is the last table. And they always pick from the front tables.
Jeez louise.
On another note, have everybody heard the news about the horrific DC reboot?
Starfire, we hardly knew ye.
In other comic book news, be sure to check Von Allan's Stargazer and this awesome webcomic called Plume. I do love them so :D

Okay, I just finished Plume and now am adding it to my reading list. XD In exchange, there's one that I started to ring, it might be a bit too shojo for you, but I find it amusing so far: http://www.genkigirl.com/wolvesandmen/

Date: 2011-09-30 04:30 am (UTC)I wanted to do a big ranty write-up about all the horrors going on in DC's reboot universe (you think Starfire was shafted? Poor Catwoman was turned into a brain-dead sexual predator!), but Meg beat me to it.
That web-comic you posted perfectly explains why DC failed BIG TIME with this reboot. This reboot was the perfect opportunity to recruit new fans and, more importantly, pique the interest of girls who have fond memories of DC cartoons but never wanted to dive into the comics because of all the continuity.
...But no. They instead decided to reinforce the old stereotype that superhero comics are a boys' club and that the boys who read them are all creepy losers who spend their days fapping in Mommy's basement. I honestly can't believe more male fans aren't pissed about this. These books don't exactly shine a positive light on them.

Normally, I'm against affirmative action. But I think DC is in desperate need of more female writers and artists. There's a reason that the only new book starring a woman that ISN'T universally hated right now is Batgirl (Gail Simone is awesome; but she can only do so much at once).

After watching two shows with great potential die horribly because the writers sucked at writing romance; it would make me very happy to see a new show starring young characters that chooses NOT to incorporate awful romantic melodrama.
...and if they absolutely must have a romance, they need to hire someone who knows how relationships (and female brains) work.

Date: 2011-09-30 11:50 pm (UTC)And the examples of men being sexualized are so few and far between that they really don't even count (who the hell even knows that Anita Blake comics EXIST?). Men in Superhero comics are drawn to look muscular because it makes them look powerful and it makes sense for a man who fights a lot to be buff. Women in superhero comics are drawn to look like skinny porn stars because it makes them easier for the target audience to masturbate to.

Date: 2011-09-30 05:07 pm (UTC)I have a list of the New DC 52 (I really want to buy a bunch when I get some cash, just cause I'm new to comics and want to see what I like) but with all this new info I'm getting on the net, I made sure to cross Red Hood and the Outlaws and Catwoman off my list -__-

Date: 2011-10-03 03:42 am (UTC)Superheroes are fucking AWESOME. Why would someone try to turn mainstream ones into nothing but porn? We want role models! Not jerking jerk jerkyness.
I hear people complain sadly about how European comics and Manga are going to take over and comics are going to die. This is why. Bad writers.

Date: 2011-10-04 07:14 am (UTC)They'll also die because the Japanese and European comic industries do one big thing that the current crop of American superhero comics refuse to do: respect female readers and try to give them something they can fall in love with.

Date: 2011-09-30 11:57 pm (UTC)And I HATE what they did with Starfire!!! It makes no sense whatsoever!! I mean, they turned her from a sweet, if somewhat fanservicey alien fish out of water into a promiscuous slut. I mean, I have no issues with characters having healthy sex lives, just don't make that all they are.
