randomlongbox.blogspot.com 6/27/2009 — One man's trek through his 46 longboxes continues. Completely at random, and with no game plan, I have happened upon Cerebus.

Comics in the Closet, Part 2
hoodedutilitarian.blogspot.com 10/20/2009 — This is the second part of a lecture I delivered last year. In the first part here I argue that super-hero comics are built around homsexual panic and repressed male bonding. In this second bit I'm extending that argument. (Be warned; there are some ...
Cerebus: A Diablog
cereblog.org 1/7/2009 — Ah, winter 1977. Sadly, neither of us Cerebloggers had yet been born, and so we cannot nostalgically recall what it was like when Cerebus first came out, only that it was a long, long time ago. I say this not to make anybody feel old , but to ...

hoodedutilitarian.blogspot.com 2/17/2009 — So this is my second longish post on Wonder Woman. In the last one I talked about Charles Moulton, Wonder Womans’ creator, and why I thought it was very difficult for other writers to put together decent stories using his character. Basically, I ...

Who Should Really Be in DC's Trinity?
filmfodder.com 4/22/2009 — DC has long recognized a three-legged stool upon which to structure their heroic foundations: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. They have long occupied the front and center of an untold number of cover pages, splash pages and pin-ups. When we were kids, it was just the way of things. DC ...
Only One Can Wear the Venus Girdle
hoodedutilitarian.blogspot.com 2/16/2009 — A couple weeks or so I wrote about female super-heroes and the way that the major properties of the big two are justly not as popular as, say, Sailor Moon. In particular, I talked a little about Wonder Woman, and how she was just not necessarily what ...
Why All The Wonder Woman Hate?
io9.com 6/8/2009 — With Transformers starlet Megan Fox calling her "lame" and the most successful writer in the American comic industry joking that she's "a walking STD farm," it's time to ask: Why doesn't Wonder Woman get the respect she deserves?
