I agree except for:

1) Grant Morrison is my Grant Morrison
2) Being overly brutal isn't a problem re: females it's a problem re: comics are lazy. "I don't like over-done gore because I am a lady" isn't a valid complaint. "I don't like gore because I am reading for a story, not for an explosive autopsy" is. It also makes us sound, you know, 'girly'. Which the powers that be will just laugh at and use against us.

Otherwise, yes! AUHHHH CROP TOPS.

Yes violence is okay, but it's not an excuse for good storytelling or especially character development.

So yes.

CROP TOPS ARE THE WORST THING EVER

Fashion-wise at least.

I'm not even a huge Gaiman fan. He's okay, but my ovaries don't sing every time his works and I are in the same room together. (Same with Whedon. Deal with it, Sisters.) Basically, enough with the "hot" writer and the "hot" artist getting every A-list project everywhere all the time.

Period.

Not every talented person is a perfect fit for every property. Besides, other talented people deserve a chance to be in the spotlight, too. Finally, if you really love your hot, brilliant writer/artist, don't burn them out early and risk a huge fan/critical backlash in the bargain.

Whew. I feel better now.

Well, that's kind of what I was trying to get across with the Morrison bit. I can see how it might be confusing? I just meant 'will read anything with his name on it, pretty much' with the Gaiman comparison.

Oh, sweetie, you so completely do NOT have my number as a fangirl it's startling.

Let's run through this:

I still wear crop tops. Love them. Have no interest in wearing what is in fashion, I wear what I like.
I don't even OWN leggings, and have no desire to see them on... Anyone.
As a reasonably thin and athletic girl (not trying to sound vain, or anything

WTF happened to my formatting?? Argh.

First of all, I'm a fairly skinny girl with big boobs. I'm not saying we don't exist, just that there aren't as many of us as comics art would suggest. Besides which, when I'm exercising, I have to wear a sports bra. That makes my boobs look significantly smaller. Basically I was asking for a realistic range of body types ( ... )
