Ready or Not, Girl Comics is Out

Books post by Kjerstin Johnson, March 4, 2010 - 4:30pm; tagged comics, Girl Comics, Marvel, women and comics.
a comic book cover featuring She-Hulk beating Ironman in an arm wrestling match. Other superheroes look on from the background, the female superheroes are stoked. Girl Comics Issue #1, a collection of comics written, stenciled, and illustrated completely by women, hit stores yesterday. It's one of three anthologies to be released this year by Marvel Comics. It's actually part of a year-long project of "Marvel Women," celebrating female characters and creators alike of one of the top comics publishers. It's also been wracked with controversy since its December announcement.

I Can Has Feminizm?

DigiBitch post by Kelsey Wallace, September 5, 2009 - 6:05pm; tagged Disney, feminizm, gender norms, I Can Has Cheezburger?, I Can Has Feminizm?, LOLCats, LOLz, Marvel, The Consumed Issue.
Hold on to your hats feminizts, because I Can Has Feminizm? is back! I may have let a few LOLz haters get in the way of my providing animal-and-feminism-based laughs these past few weeks, but no more! LOLz are back by popular demand and the first one this weekend comes to us from a Bitch reader and her, well, bitch. Check it out:

How cute! And it's nice to see that the Consumed Issue is a hit with the canine set.

Our next kitteh is responding to the Grrrl on Film post from earlier this week about Disney's purchase of Marvel comics and what that might mean for girls who are hoping for a woman superhero to make it to the big screen one of these days:

We're right there with you, cat friend! Do you think she's got her paws crossed for a silver screen adaptation of Kitty Pryde or what?

And just in case you forgot that gender norms can affect our animal friends as well as us humans:

Srsly, look at that girl forcing her cat to wear a pink apron! It's like The Feminine Mystique was never even published or something.

Have a good weekend everyone, and enjoy the LOLz! Don't forget that you can make your own feminizt LOLz by visiting the I Can Has Cheezburger? LOLbuilder and sending your creations to us here.

Grrl on Film-Princess Synergy: Disney’s Acquisition of Marvel is Good for Boys, But What About Girls?

Social Commentary post by Ink-Stained Amazon, September 2, 2009 - 11:40pm; tagged Arana Corazon, Disney, Elektra, Iron Man, Jean Grey, Liz Lemon, Marvel, Ororo Munroe, Pixar, Princesses, Superheroes, women in film, X-Men.

The big pop culture news this week – and other than the death of Michael Jackson, likely some of the biggest pop culture news of the year so far – is that the Walt Disney Company has purchased comic book, film, and video game powerhouse Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion.

While I’m personally in no way rattled by the acquisition/merger, I do think that it provides some opportunities to discuss gender, entertainment and marketing.

Marvel has over 70 years of history, and Disney will have access to over 5,000 characters (though the ones that have been mentioned most in the past week are the most profitable: Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men. Hmmmmm . … what could be missing here?)

The deal has included lots of business speak about “brands,” “vertical integration,” “long-term growth,” “value creation,” and my favorite, “synergy,” (mostly because it reminds me of 30 Rock’s Jack Donaghy telling Liz Lemon to “never badmouth synergy”). There certainly will be many opportunities for profit, but I’m interested in how y’all respond to the fact that one of Disney’s major motivating factors has been securing a young male demographic.
