9th December 2007I know I want castle waiting, absolute sandman and more love and rockets.. you? 2nd October 2007Hi, There of some of you that may know me already but there are some that don't! My name is Jordan and I currently live in Portland, Oregon and I'm starting to get my stuff together for art school to work in the comics field. So that's it for introductions! I was wondering is anyone here reading New Warriors by Marvel? It's one of the most diverse, non-mutant, doesn't have a Wolverine clone in sight, comic I've seen! It's amazingly drawn and the story-arcs seem to be along the lines of "sticking it to the man as much as possible." If not New Warriors, what books are people reading right now? --Z-- 20th July 2007I got my copy today- any other folks getting theirs? I am happy to see how the shading came out. 28th June 2007let's watch How should mainstream comics artists deal with black(or asian, or hispanic, or arab) culture?

Its brand new, so link everywhere! For those of you who don't know what a Blog Carnival is: A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks. (And as long as I'm here, the 14th Feminist SF/F Carnival will be on May 30th.) 29th April 2007Mostly strange manga. 13th April 2007How can we fight the high levels of white privilege and stupidity in comics? 11th April 2007Send it in. 9th March 2007KING GUISE Call for visual/ digital / photographic images of self-identified, of 'Color' Drag Kings, Genderqueers, Male Impersonators, Masculine Impressionist, Studs, FtMs, Butches and related trans- identities for proposed coffee table book. This collection of images and accompanying text will focus on and explore the act of putting on masculinity / man / he / h?m. Special consideration for 'action images' depicting the putting on, taking off, performance or 'captured desire' of the 'masculinized-self.' King Guise will use critical inquiry to investigate the process and execution of these transformations and the eventual outcome, if any, of public display and interaction. Thru dialogue with actual image 'recorders,' the subjects/objects themselves and the voyeurs drawn to these particular 'looks,' King Guise will delve into the murky palette of 'gendered desire and play,' with particular attention given to the operation and influence of cultural, racial and regional 'ethics/values/norms.' All submissions, commentary and visual submissions shall be fully considered. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ACADEMIC, "POLITICALLY APPROPRIATE" or "GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT" I am also accepting portraits, written works, sketches, drawings, digital imagery, reprints, cartoons, erotica and more.
