Webcomics

This week I read Galdranorn and the Fury - an 18+ only webcomic (on account of (porno)graphic sexy times and lots of anatomically correct pics of dudes.)

I quite enjoyed it - the central m/m relationship definitely felt very real, and it was very interesting.

There were a few issues I had with it though - the whole you-kidnapped-me-and-now-I-think-I'm-falling-for-you trope, and a hint of the White Saviour trope creeping in at the corners.

Don't get me wrong, it's not, like, blatantly racist, but Ceres couldn't be more white if he tried - he's literally made of ice and snow, and his eyes have no colour - and Galdranorn is green. And Ceres definitely has the upper hand when it comes to the life-saving business.

So *squints suspiciously at comic* - something to be wary of.

Other Stuff

I'm not going to spend too long discussing Marvel's idiocy in the whole Captain-America-is-now-a-Nazi realm of things, since I did a lot of that last week.

What I will say is that letting the Nazi version of Captain America lift Thor's hammer (which is only for the worthy) is a beyond-sh**ty decision. You stupid, stupid, people at Marvel. *sighs*

Lindsay Smith @ Women Write About Comics wrote an excellent piece about why this current story is SO VERY BAD, and what the fans - y'know, us guys - actually want. (Hint: it's not a Nazi Captain America.)

Other comics-related links I stumbled haphazardly across this week are:

• Jessica Pryde @ Book Riot explained why comics are great fodder for readathons.

• Also at Book Riot, Charlotte Reber describes the oddities of being a webcomics fan.

• Rosie Knight @ Women Write About Comics continues to examine comics' terrible father-figures with this article on Magneto.

• Johanna @ Comics Worth Reading reviewed the manga graphic novel, My Brother's Husband, Vol 1.

• Comic Book Resources explains the weirdness (and, let's face it, awesomeness!) of Gerard Way's comics (I'm MCRmy, a member of the Black Parade, and an undeniable Killjoy - anything with Geesus' name on it makes me trash.)

That's it for this week guys! If you liked this post, please comment and share!
