I wish I had something special to give you this Free Comic Book Day, but all I have is this lousy ol’ hi-res preview PDF with four more pages of content than the current online preview, including one that’s exclusive here, and won’t appear in chapter 1.
I guess this preview download of Misfortune High (8MB PDF) will have to do. Enjoy your Free Comic Book Day!
I wish I was joking, but I really did this to poor Myq Kaplan. Thank god he was a comedian who could laugh it off and continue the conversation like nothing happened.
OHMYGOD.

Can anyone tell me if this is an actual promo shot or a manip? Because if it is a promo shot I WANT TO WEEP WITH ITS RIGHTNESS, HOLY GOD. Lois in STANDING IN FRONT OF CLARK. She’s in the foreground! SHE IS STANDING IN A PHYSICALLY STRONG POSE. She is staring STRAIGHT AHEAD (i.e. she is NOT averting her gaze). Her shoulders are back, her legs are planted firmly on the ground, shoulder width apart, STEADY. SHE IS TAKING UP SPACE, AND NOT OVERTLY SEXUALIZED. CLARK IS STANDING BEHIND HER MIRRORING HER POSE. This is the most beautiful photo I have ever seen, holy fucking god. GETTING IT RIGHT.
(to answer the question, yes it’s official, it’s from Empire magazine)
Too often, female characters are posed for these promotional shots in distinctly sexual (and just plain uncomfortable) positions and told that it is somehow supposed to empower them; here, Lois Lane demonstrates both the strength and the femininity of her character through a confident, assertive stance. Because the two go hand-in-hand.
(Not to mention that, as previously stated, Clark is not only behind her, but also mirroring her pose.)
Love it.
ten points to DC
don’t make me revoke them later I will Dumbledore your ass.holy things done right batman
i may just have to get my ass out of the house and see a movie
you have to laugh when it has somehow gotten to the point where “woman from comic book stands up straight” is cause for celebration and praise
We have really low standards when it comes to this sort of shit. Yet we are still so very often disappointed.
this post makes me so happy I get chills.
Yes to above and Amy Adams! Love her. <3

Went and saw Jurassic Park 3D this weekend (I have never seen it in theaters and it was a blast)
Thought of how different the movie could seem from another perspective.

When the new X-men lineup was announced I, of course, thought it was amazing and refreshing and about damn time. It wasn’t until a friend of mine brought the new team up again that the idea for another X-fashion developed. It really was a “duh” moment for me - they’re ripe for a fashion piece, and not just because they’re women but because they are some of THE biggest female names of the X-men. So I went for it. Wanted something a little more dynamic than X-fashions of the past. My main thought going in was more pants, less dresses and frippery. Of course there’s still bling and heels - you can’t take away all the fun - but I wanted fashion that was a bit more street, more real, a little more badass.
Rachel is grunge. Love her jacket, not so happy with her shirt.
Psylocke is NYC fashionista tomboy. Dip dyed hair (so trendy) and a butterfly print blouse.
I’m really happy with Kitty’s dragon t-shirt and bad ass heels. Had to get a shoe in there somewhere, people.
Storm is my 80s executive realness. Her earring is fashioned after the one Willi Ninja bought (he has the receipt) in Paris is Burning.
My southern belle is in a loud print and hose - she’s the only one in a dress. I wanted her in printed leggings but she was already such a patterned mess I decided against it.
And Jubes is just all over the place. Bikini and hot pants and a bedazzled jacket.
The original will be going up in the store as soon as tomorrow. Prints as well - in TWO sizes :) Hope you guys like it, let me know what you think!
“VIRGO RISING,” the first book for Little Foolery’s “THAT WHICH WILLS” world, is up for pre-order until March 31!
For as long as he has lived, Liam Harbinger has been known only as the son of Esmeralda la Deluge, one of the most infamous witches to plague Virgilia. Born under favorable stars, gifted with remarkable powers, and possessing a demon as his only companion, Liam has no interest in his mother’s dark history — his dream is to be a hero, the greatest Virgilia has ever seen.
“Virgo Rising” is the first introductory issue to the world of “That Which Wills.” Contains three stories:
- “Dance with the Devil” - Liam has found himself the unexpected guest to a royal ball. Determined to prove himself against a host of nobles who remember his mother’s dark past — Liam plans to be on his best behavior. However, his demon companion, Ronway, has other ideas.
- “Meet Cute” - While out after a night of sport, perfectly ordinary citizen Tibsy Greencastle finds himself in a tight spot. Lucky for him, help comes from the most unexpected of places.
Colored by Jen Doyle. (preview pages above)- “Harbinger” - Following an ill-advised magical escapade in a small country village, 13 -year-old Liam Harbinger is brought to the capital for the first time.
Whew it is finally coming together. Muun and I are very excited for this, a lot of work went into this. Special thanks to Airy, Jen Doyle and Mira Ongchua for making this work possible!We’ll be sending the book out to the printers next week with any luck!
Just a reminder that pre-orders for That Which Wills: Virgo Rising will be open for another week! Five dollars off + free print as a pre-order bonus, plus, you know. Some sexy magical boys on the side.
Please have a look if you’re interested! And spread the word! A lot of cool people have worked very hard on this, and I’m honored to get to put my name down with them.
