Wonder Woman is Going to Wear Pants After All!
Starting in June, Wonder Woman is getting a very conservative costume redesign. Not only will she get pants and sleeves, but she’s getting a pretty high collar as well. I am completely in favor of this change! The new costume is designed by current Wonder Woman artist David Finch.
Pants and arm stabby thingies
It’s just a shame that I stopped reading Finch’s Wonder Woman…
I definitely like the new costume. And in today’s world, with the push for treating female supeheroes equally, there was no excuse to keep Wonder Woman in that one-piece bathing suit. It just didn’t work anymore. This new outfit is pretty cool. Maybe I’ll pick up an issue or two. It’s not as modern as what Spider-Woman got, but it’s still a nifty new outfit for Wonder Woman.
Oh, and apparently Superman is getting a haircut and Batman is becoming a robot. So there’s a lot going on at DC, it would seem!

Gamer Girl & Vixen: Meet Taylor Esposito, Professional Letterer
Big news this week, comic book fans!
It is with great pleasure that we welcome letterer Taylor Esposito to the creative team of Gamer Girl & Vixen! Formerly of both Marvel and DC Comics, Taylor is the lettersmith behind recent comics like Red Hood and the Outlaws, Constantine, New Suicide Squad, Vibe, Katana, Watson and Holmes, Bodies, and more.
Taylor has worn many hats in the comic book industry over the past several years, mostly in the graphic design side of things. He was a staff letterer at DC Comics for the past two years before leaving their employ in December. Since then, Taylor has decided to go freelance with his own graphics studio, Ghost Glyph Studios.
And one of the first projects Taylor signed up for was Gamer Girl & Vixen! Taylor discovered us through the Twittersphere and quickly offered us his talents to help make our comic a reality. He’s been hard at work for us behind the scenes for several weeks now, and he finally gave us the go-ahead to announce his involvement publicly.
As a special treat with the announcement, we present the completed first page of Gamer Girl & Vixen #1, with Taylor’s lettering! On this page, Vixen is narrating her opening heist!
Artist Gemma Moody is hard at work this month on finishing up issue #1 for us, and we’re going to share more completed pages in the weeks ahead. So stay tuned. We’re drawing ever closer to getting our comic off the ground, and now with the creative team complete, it’s only a matter of time!
If you’d like to follow along more closely with the production of Gamer Girl & Vixen, you can follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Both are updated frequently.
We’re also turning our Tumblr page into the Gamer Girl & Vixen HQ! There you’ll be able to see all preview pages we show off, as well as get some more background info on the project and the team.
I’ve also got another announcement for Gamer Girl & Vixen soon, so keep your eyes peeled to this blog. I’m going to need your help with something!

6 Things I Would Want in a Justice League TV Show
Rumors and news tidbits have been swirling for a few weeks now that Warner Bros’ next live action superhero show is going to be a team effort. We’ve already heard that Firestorm, Atom and Captain Cold have been tapped to appear (along with Sara Lance, for some reason), and casting notices have teased a few more characters.
Something is definitely in the works. Could it be a live action Justice League TV show?
It’s been done
Considering how much I love Arrow and The Flash, I can’t wait to see what else this DC brain trust can produce! I’m excited for Supergirl and Vixen, and the idea of putting together a ramshackle Justice League TV show sounds pretty amazing. That Flash/Arrow team-up last year was great television. If DC and The CW can turn that energy into a whole TV show, they’ll have another hit on their hands.
They’ll also have a hit if they follow my advice after the jump!
The New Daredevil Trailer is Chillingly Good!
Somebody get me Netflix on the phone, I need to buy all the subscriptions! The second trailer for the upcoming Daredevil TV show has hit the web, and it is mind-blowingly cool!
Oh man, that was exciting! The characters, the physicality, the Kingpin, the MCU references, the blood, the music, the darkness, the dialogue; it all looks great! I am so pumped for this show. And I am so pumped for it to be amazing. I hope Daredevil really takes off for Marvel and Netflix. I hope people flocked to the show.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this is a great time to be alive!

I Never Had This Much Fun When I Went to Tomorrowland
Possibly because they changed the awesome Alien Encounter ride from when I was a kid into some dumb Stitch comedy show. What a waste. I hope somebody got fired for that one. But at least this new Disney movie, Tomorrowland, might make up for my lost 40 or so minutes on that ride.
The teaser trailers were neat, and now that we get to see even more…I like it. Not the premise I thought it would be, but it still looks pretty cool. The effects look especially dazzling. So maybe I’ll actually see more than just superhero movies in the theater this Summer.
