Getting My Geek Back On

X-Men are now an all female team! This is HUGE! It's only like Marvel's most well known team

Omg. I can't wait to show that to Alexia!
I think I buy it for her.

Hi! I'm hoping to get back to "me" soon so I really get that feeling.

Now we just have to hope that the artists keep it in their pants and the women aren't all bent into impossible posses, showing off T and A at the same time.

Good luck with that!
Pre-ordered! Amazon has it for Nov release.

Huh. The article says it came out yesterday, which is weird since from what I remember comics come out on Tuesdays like books and DVD. I'll have to do some more investigation.

Yay! I might actually buy this one!

[ms_hecubus]

I'm trying not to get my hopes too high because it's still Marvel. I doubt it's going to be the kick ass feminist manifesto I want, but it's a step, and a big one at that.

That's cool X-Men has evolved enough to go all female. :)

The only food I really like at RL is their biscuits which are so delicious.

[ms_hecubus]

Right? I admire them for not taking the characters and making a new book like Girl Warriors or something.

I can't stand sea food in any form, but RL does love their all you can eat special.

I don't think all of the artists/writers were female though which would have made the book an even better triumph.

[ms_hecubus]

No, but women are a minority in the industry. Since guys hold the power I think in some ways it's better to have them on board too. As long as they aren't trying to speak over the women involved it might help start changing the viewpoint of comics in general.

I may need to buy that as well. The girl X-men, especially Rogue, were my favorites!

If Kira hadn't just crashed on the living room floor I'd be tempted to go right now.

[ms_hecubus]

She was excited by the idea of an all girl superhero team.
