It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y and/or superhero-y goodness!
Ginormous Fun!
Hilarious YouTuber Steven He has created a superhero-based YouTube series called Ginormo!
The trailer is a lot of fun, and giving off original Power Rangers vibes all around.
The first episode premiers tomorrow (Friday 12th May,) and I'll certainly be giving it a look!
Warning: flashing images, general violence inc. guns
Small, Clumsy, Steps Forward
Jessica Plummer @ Book Riot explains the often-forgotten, sometimes problematic, history of Transgender characters in mainstream comics.
She takes a look at 3 early Transgender characters in DC comics, and the way that each created a (small, awkward, sometimes problematic,) step towards genuine Trans representation in comics.
Shameless Self-Promo Time!

Cool article by Jessica! I didn't know DC had early transgender characters.
ReplyDeleteMe either - they are problematic in various ways, but each was a step forward.
