“And Marvel’s announcement was as awesome as promised— they are starting a new all-female Avengers book! Coming in May to coincide with their Secret Wars event, the A-Force will include She-Hulk, Dazzler (!), and Runaways’ Nico Minoru (!!!!!!!), written by G. Willow Wilson and Angela: Asgard’s Assassin’s Marguerite K. Bennett, with art by New Thor’s Jorge Molina.

Wilson said that they’ve “purposefully assembled a team composed of very different characters–from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies.” Bennett added that their heroines “embody the ideals of what we can each strive to be.” The women will be faced with problems like what they must sacrifice for success, and what being a hero is worth.

A-Force will also introduce a brand-new superhero called Singularity, who series editor Daniel Ketch says will “push the boundaries of diversity in comic books even further.” Perhaps… dare we wish… a trans woman superhero??”

Dear god.  Is that SNOWBIRD?  And RESCUE?

Is this a team that has DAZZLER AND MOONSTONE?  MONICA AND CAROL AND JESSICA AND-

superdames:

gailsimone ain’t lying. Today is a very good day for women in comics.

Plus!!!

  • Cyborg, a prominent black hero, is not only getting his own book, he’s going to be written by a black man (David Walker)!
  • Midnighter, a gay hero, is getting his own solo title!
  • Annie Wu is drawing Black Canary!
  • Starfire is being written and drawn by female creators (Amanda Conner (with Jimmy Palmiotti) and Emanuela Lupacchino, respectively)!
  • Chinese-American writer Gene Luen Yang (author of the acclaimed graphic novel The Shadow Hero, which I really want to read) is writing Superman! (And Shadow Hero artist Sonny Liew drawing Dr Fate!)
  • Genevieve Valentine, who was originally slated to write only one Catwoman arc, is continuing as the series writer!
  • Look at the tonal shift! Bizarro? Bat-Mite?? Prez??? These are not the kind of books I’d have expected to see in the all grimdark, all the time New 52 even a year ago.

Clint Barton doesn’t show up 15 minutes late with Starbucks. Clint Barton shows up an hour late with cheap pizza, a broken nose, and a stray dog.

– moodyrebelmage [x]

of course there is an explanation for the dog:  

I was around the corner from the gift shop where I got the balloon 

(this was the only ‘love’ one they had left, and it’s either clever or hopeless, I kinda futzing love it, I relate to this balloon) 

and these kids were harassin’ this dog, so I said ‘hey leave the dog alone, c’mon, not cool.’

so then they’re like ‘hey mister we’ll sell him to you.’

  • not gonna lie I admire that kind of moxie
  • they wanted twenty futzing bucks
  • I gave them a dollar it is seriously all the cash I had

dented pizza is still delicious, he’s laughing and blaming his afternoon on wearing a shirt with buttons (‘I have never ever had a day go right when I wore a shirt with buttons’)
