Post Awesome Things Month: Awesome Comic Ladies Picspam

Jul 11, 2011 23:13

So, chaila43 has made this a month of Posting Awesome Things. And since while things are mostly good over here I am super stressed and busy all the time, I think this is a GREAT IDEA, and everyone should do it.

The theme of my Posting Awesome Things post (note the singular, as I'm not sure I'll have time to do another before the end of the month) is all ( Read more... )

picspam, awesome ladies, dcu, marvel, comics

Awww, yay, I'm glad I inspired awesome picspams! I'll be honest, Runaways is the only rec here that even slightly tempts me over to the MARVEL DARK SIDE MWAHAHAHAHA! but I do think I need to check out Steph's run as Batgirl (particularly since it's manageably small, tragic though it seems I will come to find that ( ... )

Runaways is FANTASTIC, especially if you are looking for awesome ladies. It fluctuates a bit, but I think there's always more girls than guys, or at least an equal ratio, and also it's just really well done. There's 3 pretty short volumes, but fair warning - the last one ends on a HORRIBLE cliffhanger. It was said it was going on 'hiatus', but that was in like 2009 and I don't know if there has been any news since because I don't know where to look! And Steph's is a fantastic run. There's only 23 issues, and one last one to come, but it's really great.

BIG BARDA IS JUST FANTASTIC. I love her so so much. <33333 I need to figure out what she's in and READ IT ALL. Her husband is pretty adorable too! I like them and their marriage ( ... )

OKAY, I have a gazillion comics to read during my current Mad Dash Through Comics, but consider Runaways at least on the list someplace, though argggggh cliffhangerz! Is it set like, really thoroughly in the Marvel universe or could I understand it with minimal knowledge? As I think I mentioned, while I read comics very off-and-on and have a kind of "I will take what I like and leave the rest" attitude to them on account of how often they get...weird, I've always been a DC girl and my Marvel knowledge is...limited to say the least.

And, um, speaking of weirdness in comics, um, okay, look, I have to warn you. Big Barda is fantastic but there was this THING in the 80s where the entire plot revolved around a supervillain brainwashing her and Superman and forcing them to make a porno which he then showed to Mr Miracle. No, I'm not joking. It really happened. REALLY. HAPPENED. Some shit you could not make up if you tried ( ... )

I thought I'd replied to this, but I guess in all the chaos of moving I didn't. Hm.

Runaways is almost entirely self-contained - there's two crossovers with Young Avengers that are parts of two huge ongoing Marvel events, but other than that there's only small stuff, a few guest appearances etc.

... wow. that's. Impressively weird.

And a;lskdhg I would so, so read that. MISS MARTIAN AS ROBIIIIN.

This post is made of awesome! You've got so many of my favourites (Steph, Cass, Grace, Faiza, Kate Bishop, Helena and Kate Spencer) and even a few that I've never really come across before (the X-factor ladies).

I'm sitting here grinning so hard right now.

Here via silveronthetree, and I agree: MADE OF AWESOME. So many great ladies plus some ones I want to know more about. I would also add, let's see, Dakota North, Echo, the Night Nurse, White Tiger...
