IE: good plot device, but it woulda been nice to see a real live lesbian, too.

Moore could have been conventional and had say, a Labour party supporter or a black man in the role but he choose the character of a young lesbian because at that time, it was something that related to his personal life. Valerie is better written in a few pages than some characters have been in their entire histories.

Exactly. If you've ever read the Celluloid Closet (which is about movies, but it certainly applies to literature and comics too), it basically shows examples from the beginning of film where queers in movies are basically accepted if they're not directly interactive and/or don't make it through to the end. They have to be tragic and distant just so the public will allow them in. Originally Posted by Reverend Smooth

The latitude between Rucka and Grayson reeks of sexism to me. One is stopped before it even gets out of the gate, the other has full carte blanche. Originally Posted by andy khouri

State of what union? This is a pretty ridiculous misapplication of a specific phrase. Plus, it's unnecessary; "state of homosexuality in comics" says exactly the same thing, with fewer words. Originally Posted by andy khouri

The constant ass kissing of Alan Moore in comics is grating, no matter what his achievements. I imagine his fans like Bjork or Radiohead fans sitting in a room, finishing each others sentences and all nodding in agreement at everything he does and every opinion they have. Dull and annoying drones.

I'm sure you find the idea of people nodding in agreement with each other horrifying. Originally Posted by MartinRedmond

Thus do I write the first chapter of my new scripture. And the first verse is "Let it all burn."

Very intese people are fans of Bjork, Radiohead, and Tori Amos, even. Originally Posted by Matt Algren

As per the article:
