My 6 Favorite LGBTQ Couples in Comics
Even comic book superheroes can fall in love. Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Lois and Clark. All those women that Batman falls in love with, only to lose them in the end. Romance is as important to comics as superhero capes! It’s even the basis of my own comic, Gamer Girl & Vixen, a lesbian supervillain love story!
Read the first issue on my Kickstarter!
I like writing Gamer Girl & Vixen because I legitimately enjoy the push for diversity that we’re seeing across all entertainment, not just comics. I would love to see more LGBTQ romances in pop culture, and we’re slowly getting there. If I can help that along with my own writing, whether in my self-published comics or in this blog, then at least I’m having a good time.
So to celebrate the progress that exists, join me after the jump for my favorite LGBTQ couples in comics! And you’re welcome to share your own favorites in the comments!
6 Characters I Do and 6 Characters I Don’t Want to See in the DC Cinematic Universe
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has come and gone, and now all that’s left is for that justice to finished dawning. The movie made all the money, so there’s no doubt that Warner Bros. is going to forge ahead with all of their plans. We’ve got the Wonder Woman movie coming out next year for sure, and plans are in place for the Justice League, Aquaman, Cyborg and more. In a few short years, the DC Cinematic Universe could be as big and as varied as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So what does an old comic book fan like me want to see in the DCCU?
This has all been pre-ordained
I did this list before with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Who doesn’t love talking potential movies or character cameos? There are decades of DC characters, both big and small, who could be used on the big screen. Not all of them deserve their own movies, sure, but who doesn’t love a little Easter Egg or two? Maybe a surprise cameo? The sky is the limit for DC. If they can make Superman dark and gloomy, then they can do it to anybody, and any character can appear.
Join me after the jump to see who I would like to show up, as well as who I hope DC keeps on the cutting room floor.
6 Thoughts on the Second Season of Daredevil
Like many comic book fans, I spent this past weekend binge-watching the new season of Daredevil. Once again, Marvel dominates entertainment. This show is everything we comic fans could possibly want from a Daredevil adaptation. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s charming, it’s exciting; this is damn fine television, and fits perfectly with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Season Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I also love the Netflix delivery system. I like being able to binge-watch an entire season in a few sittings, getting the whole story in one big go, rather than waiting week to week. It keeps me in the moment, it allows the writers to really dig deep into the material, and create a big tapestry of a story. I loved almost every episode, I loved every storyline, the new characters were great; Daredevil Season 2 was another huge success for Marvel!
Join me after the jump to hear my specific thoughts on the season. There will be MAJOR SPOILERS for the whole season, so read at your own risk.
My 6 Favorite Female Comic Book Characters
Once upon a time, back when I started this blog, one of my first Lists of Six was of my favorite comic book characters of all time. The list is all men, in large part because I settled on my list of favorites back when I was a kid, and Young Sean wasn’t all that interested in female characters. Or facial hair. I didn’t like characters with mustaches for some reason.
So in honor of Women’s History Month, I want to talk about my six favorite female comic book characters.
I need to catch up on A-Force
This is a purely personal list. These are the characters I enjoy reading about, characters whose existence alone will almost guarantee I take a look at a comic. I love seeing them pop up in cartoons and movies. And I’m usually excited to see how their characters grow and change. We all have our favorite characters for one reason or another, and these are some of mine.

6 Thoughts on the Avengers Academy Mobile Game
Once upon a time, superhero video games were a rare and sometime special occasion — especially if the game was any good. But now, superheroes are everywhere, and while we haven’t had that big budget, A-List Avengers console game, Marvel is going gangbusters in the mobile app market. There are fighting games, team-building games, card games and more, all advertising excellent superhero action.
I’m now a month deep into their latest offering, Avengers Academy, and I wanted to list out a little review.
Once again, Hawkeye gets shafted
Avengers Academy is a free-to-play city building game that recasts the Avengers as college or high school students. It’s a bright and colorful game that has you sending the Avengers on missions throughout the day, while buying new buildings to put on campus. At the moment, we’re right in the middle of the first big game event, featuring the Leader, A-Bomb and Red Hulk attacking the campus.
Avengers Academy is free to download from your mobile game store of choice. But join me after the jump to see whether or not you should.
