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.

Nicole Georges pays tribute to the Queer Animal Kingdom

Friend and contributor to the magazine, Nicole Georges, was featured in a mini-documentary recently on Etsy.com. I thought I would share because I'm always inspired by how genuine and positive her work is. She touches a lot on her personal relationships (so relatable and painfully honest), but often also weaves her love of animals in to her work as well. This documentary is specifically about her latest project—an exploration of the Queer Animal Kingdom.
