Addicted to heroines
Just in time for Mother’s Day, and as a nice counteraction to creepy sculptures and badly-drawn poses, here’s the latest podcast cartoon from Kyle Baker (alert: M4V file) all about a mother’s dilemma in trying to get her daughter interested in strong female comic book characters. And just look at this gorgeous cover for Marvel’s Nova #5:
Wow. I mean, wow. This is what so many of us are talking about when we discuss wanting artists to depict women in strong, nonexploitive action poses. Well done, Adi Granov!
That is one seriously awesome cover. It may in fact be enough to make me go out and get that comic.
"Heroine" is one of our favorite Kyle cartoons: Lillian and I just laughed and laughed the first time we saw it. Btw, had a lovely Mother's Day. Kyle took the kids to Forbidden Planet; I napped.
