Val's right.<BR/><BR/>(It could also be that this blog moves so fast people can't keep up with every post :P)<BR/><BR/>Actually your angry is reaction is a good illustration of what we DON'T want when it comes to gay characters in comics. We need less sensationalism, less social commentary, and more interesting stories and likeable characters. If a writer makes a character gay just to make a statement, they're missing the point.<BR/><BR/>Too many times the companies have cared more about screaming "THIS CHARACTER IS GAY!!! Look at us! Aren't we socially aware?!?! Aren't we!?!?" than just writing a good character.<BR/><BR/>So far Batwoman has been a pleasant surprise, despite her initial marketing. We'll see how she does on her own (assuming her solo title is still happening).<BR/><BR/>And I fully endorse well written gay characters in comics.<BR/><BR/>http://comics.rogue-wolf.net/nocturnalessence/LRStahlberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703436150331550760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-14009124620248980472007-06-22T17:33:00.000-04:002007-06-22T17:33:00.000-04:00i love how flash getting attacked by a vaginal squ...i love how flash getting attacked by a vaginal squid gets 11 comments and a mary jane statue gets tons of reaction, but something about gays gets 3. bravo you "civil rights champions"<BR/><BR/>assholes.sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-11189566739036746982007-06-22T04:56:00.000-04:002007-06-22T04:56:00.000-04:00Superhero comic creators should follow the example...Superhero comic creators should follow the example of the new Doctor Who series. It's a show that's aimed at (and reaches) a family audience, is popular with children, a massive success story for the BBC, and at the same time features many homosexual and bisexual characters.Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198262501277963163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-11569753971632759022007-06-21T11:39:00.000-04:002007-06-21T11:39:00.000-04:00Particularly, I don't subscribe to the notion that...Particularly, I don't subscribe to the notion that pushing for gay visibility in comics necessarily means excluding or alienating gay audiences.<BR/><BR/>Like Sammy above said, Avengers fans will buy Avengers books, even if at a first glance they complain about them.<BR/><BR/>If the story's good, they'll stick with it. <BR/><BR/>And that clip's hilarious, btw.James Figueiredohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281007632591613192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25566450.post-54427098182798654712007-06-21T10:52:00.000-04:002007-06-21T10:52:00.000-04:00amen. although young avengers was great, but it wa...amen. although young avengers was great, but it was written by a gay, so that's why.<BR/><BR/>and it was a HUGE hit among gays and non gays. so it obviously works.<BR/><BR/>the fanboys are going to read the avengers no matter what, sure some of the ignorant ones may grown about a "gay guy," but they'll still read it, and learn to love it.<BR/><BR/>who doesn't like a little man on man action every now and then? it's hot.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=yZRom_Lp5kw" REL="nofollow">http://youtube.com/watch?v=yZRom_Lp5kw</A>sammy.the.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244600298489890263noreply@blogger.com
