OMG

Yesterday on Tumblr I posted this bit of dialog I had with my wife regarding my daughter's Halloween costume the night before, which amused me:

So last night my wife came home with some suggestions for my daughters Halloween costume from her coworkers (who are into comics while she is not). One of them apparently ”corrected” her on my suggestion of Captain Marvel to Ms. Marvel. I replied, with no small amount of conviction, “She’s Captain Marvel now.” to my poor wife’s shock. I then ranted for a bit ultimately giving the example, “It’s like calling Hilary Clinton the former First Lady despite her having been a Senator and Secretary of State.”
I did apologize to my wife for going off the rails a bit though.

 

All well and good but then the author of Captain Marvel saw it, liked it and reblogged it. It's now up to 52 likes and several reblog. My inner 12 year old, who is convinced no one likes him, is squeeing. I've also gained several new followers and I feel like I should post something real and not just my typical reblogs. 

Comic day

Ultimate X-Men: Damn I was really trying to get away the Ultimate universe but the things they are doing in Ult. X-men are very intriguing. 20 mutants given a plot of land in the deserts of Utah as a reservation, can they build a society? Well, yeah. That and better. Can it survive itself and the petty humans when they do? That remains to be seen.

Age of Ultron: Holy shit, Marvel finally is doing the summer cross over right. Have the heroes on the ropes due to a villain rather than having them fight themselves. Issue 02 is still the set up but I am very curious and hooked.

Fantastic Four: Damn but Fraction is really getting the family dynamic down! He also has Susan and Reed fighting perfectly. Much better and more believable than them post-Civil War.

Fearless Defenders: Kick ass ladies continuing to snark and take names. Definitely on the continue to buy pile.

Rachel Rising: Terry Moore proving he is still a master story teller even when writing spooky stuff. Great art.

 Her Ladyship has read Captain Marvel up to issue #6 and has admitting to not only liking it but being addicted to it. Achievement Unlocked! \o/

I wish she was old enough for Batwoman. =(
