You'd think this would be a big talked-about thread here at CBR...
But I guess no-one has anything to say?

Props to Marvel for even thinking of having this panel! The mainstream comics industry isn't perfect, but to have a panel like this shows that Marvel is willing to look at these issues while their Distinguished Competition fumbles the ball left and right. I'd love to see more panels like this from other companies, or to see a panel that includes women from all the major publishers to priovide an ever more diverse view of what's going on.

If nihilism didn't take some delight in destruction one might suspect nihilists were an unnaturally morbid sort.

Aren't there only, like, five women working in comics?
New Avengers, Morbius The Living Vampire, Scarlet Spider, Iron Man, Fearless Defenders, Fantastic Four, Deadpool Killogy, Savage Wolverine, Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men & X-Force, Cable & X-Force, Gambit

I think it's just that DC has more female fans. Originally Posted by Songbird/Diamondback

It would be nice for these creators (and the characters they talked about) to have a presence at ComicCon outside of the woman panel.Last edited by Hrist; 10-25-2011 at 03:44 PM.

Weird thing is, I have such a thing for when a woman's ears stick out of their hair like that. Originally Posted by Agent_Torpor

I just got a crazy idea. Do you think it would be worthwhile for Marvel to introdue a Women's line of comics that is largely female-centric? Not that the intent of it is to just cater to female audiences or keep them seperate from the main lines, but a line that highlights all the lovely female characters doing, well, female things?
I know I could probably sound sexist, and maybe it is to some degree. But, I'm a male, sue me.
