Single Issues
This week, I reviewed the very interesting first issue of Bread and Butter by Liz Mayorga.
Other Stuff
This was the week that Wonder Woman was announced as being canonically (i.e. officially) queer.
(I already had a Wonder Woman action figure stock photo, ok?
I was totally gonna use it!)
Which is an awesome-sauce step forward for LGBTQ+ representation! :) Here's a fantastic piece on After Ellen which explains just why this matters.
DC down, Marvel left to go - #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend, even comic book creator Mark Millar is not-so-secretly shipping Stucky!
(Fangirling notes:
Shipping is wanting characters to have a romantic and/or sexual relationship.
Stucky is the name of the fan-favoured romantic relationship between Captain America and Bucky Barnes - the man for whom Cap went to war with over 100 countries.)
And that's about it for this week my nerdlets!
Short but sweet - I'll be back with more comics-y-ness next week!

I loved it when that Wonder Woman news came out! It's a great step in representation, especially since she's such a huge female icon!
