Sterling Gates went off on someone on Twitter about that same shirt today. It's nice to see creators stand up against that stupid shit.
They like fan girls....spilled? D:
This exclusive attitude that permeates our hobbies is antiquated and quite frankly fucking stupid. Who gives a shit that another gender is playing games or reading comics that you too enjoy. I love that my girlfriend shares my interests.
Man what did I ever do to you?!

I'd read that book
Super secret serial agent Dick gets sent to kill Red Robin by mysterious benefactor only to find out three issues later that this was masterminded by none other than Damien Wayne back from the dead. Book is then renamed Grayson and Wayne! and features the hair raising international adventures of the worlds greatest spies.

Forever Evil seems like it has been going on forever. The metal men issues have been good, but it could have been a much short event and not lost much.
Messi pls
Gotta keep saying this no matter how impatient we are with the progress of this message.
nice stealth girlfriend brag
Yeah seriously let's fucking talk about that because I feel like Johns does not get enough praise for getting the Metal Men so goddamn right. Like, it's the best thing he's done in 2014 in the same way Shazam was his best thing of 2013. Geoff Johns is at his best when he's being completely earnest and not going through the motions of Making A Comic Book Event, and this is him at his most earnest, taking ideas from the Silver Age and treating them with love and the required decorum. If we get this Geoff Johns on Superman, it's gonna be an instant fucking classic.
^ Optioned for a movie adaptation, or animated show. Probably the latter, I believe his Peter Panzerfaust is already doing something animated. Same company that's working on doing Chew.
That anonymous dude whining about how hard males have it... ugh.
So that's what Paul Cornell was responding to yesterday when he tweeted "I like fangirls how I like my coffee: strong."

Only if Nocenti and Liefeld are the creative team.
Cheska:
Only $350.00 I want one . Let me live vicariously thought you.
Well Obviously...

Also, as better stated by an actual writer of prose fiction, if you're gonna make a shirt singling out people in the way the Coffee one did, just cut to the chase and tattoo "I HATE WOMEN" in big bold letters across your chest, then dig a hole and stay in that hole forever while we enjoy things without you and the people who'd try to stop anyone from enjoying anything while being respectful of others.
Ha you just know Nocenti would be writing that.
"NO MORE WOMEN" would be better then other like minded folk could be all like
It's a D&D type book, the Rat Queens are an all female band of adventurers.

Heh.
Rat Queens 1 21,745
Rat Queens 2 12,335
Rat Queens 3 11,967
Rat Queens 4 11,553
Rat Queens 5 11,121
Well they are at least pretty consistent after that brutal first issue crash.

So stupid. So, so, so stupid. How the fuck are fangirls a bad thing?
It really does sound a lot like Flashpoint, with tons of characters becoming bizarro versions of themselves.
The Swamp Thing text sounds way too much like
Geoff Johns creating a ton of other Lantern corps
Man if the message of the shirt was that he liked black fangirls, I'd buy two.
I've noticed two patterns among this group:
1. The inability to not take criticizing potential sexism (or racism or homophobia for that matter) in these hobbies personally. So every critique immediately becomes a personal attack.
2. The feeling that asking for the media landscape to be more welcoming means pushing them out and how dare the women who formally rejected them for their nerdiness* decide to come in and start changing shit.
*Note: Even though, more often than not, women "rejected" them because they lacked social skills and had some harmful ideas about women. But that's another conversation for another thread.

So I spent the last hour reading the Daytripper deluxe hardcover.
Those feels.
Manly tears were shed. Manly tears.

Heroes and Villains sounds like what you are looking for, http://heroesandvillains.libsyn.com/. Basically they take a character and run through their publication history, story arcs etc.
It features guests from others comic podcasts like Comics Conspiracy and Infinite Longbox, two other podcasts I enjoy very much as well.
I already mentioned it on Twitter, but LETS PUT A PODCAST TOGETHER AFTER ALL!
Seriously guys, I would totally be interested in this, both in listening and in participating. I don't personally have a ton of experience with the clients used and where to upload but I'm sure putting some tech savvy minds together we could figure it out.
Convo would be easy, we could talk about the week's releases, backlogs, tv/movies, etc.

That's great news! Although I'm on the fence on Day.
It's incredible how perfect Holloway is for Colby.
I honestly think this is a good idea. But is the world ready for such a thing?
Yes.
ME TOO! We have the perfect combination for this too, think of all of our tastes in here.
We have the DC is awesome crowd, the Web slinging crowd, the IDW transformin' turtles crowd, the I'm too cool for superheroes crowd, the Nocenti followers, etc. We can do this!

Pretty much how I reacted. "Black, and too frequently for my own good? Might be nice, but don't tell my girlfrie- oh wait."

The first episode should be a retrospective on Nocenti's career
Really glad they releases this in hardcover, it deserves it. Maybe this will get it the extra exposure it needs at Barnes and Noble and such. I really do think it's a modern classic, but we'll see what I think now that it's been a few years.
This sounds like a recipe to have a group of people talk and slowly come to hate each other.
So what I'm saying here is "Sign me up!"
I'd podcast the hell out of some comics talk.
We got that Johns Superman, back during most of his Action Comics run and Secret Origin. Shit was great.
Also, whoa@ Chew animated news. Chew has been consistently one of the most entertaining books out there; I'm very interested to see how it translates to animation. I'm glad Layman is directly involved.

Just burned through Rat Queens: Sass and Sorcery. It was a great intro to a series and I was happy to see each characters' individual traits start to define them so early on. With that said, the MadLib style stick-a-random-dirty-word-here-for-a-laugh schtick was overused, and the fact that every character is written in the same "voice" could become a problem (for me) in the long run. In the end, it was too much fun to be ruined by my nit-picking and I'm looking forward to more! 4 out of 5 Catwomans

So what ReiGun is saying is he wants to be senior Anime Manga-er.
I mean, if you just want me to come on every week and talk about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and bash Sword Art Online, I could totally play that role.
It's like the opposite of a team up.
