Still reeling from the goodness that was Archie #1 and Archie’s continued efforts to make Archie current, relevant, and interesting, we decided to celebrate our excitement with…drinking!
Crossplaying at Con: Becoming the Invisible Man
It’s probable that most people, seeing me, would consider me to be fairly traditionally femme. Take a glance at my author icon: it’s all lipstick and lashes and one of the few times I got my hair to look like I wanted it to. I would estimate that in my adult life, I tend to get…
Book That Shaped Me: Little House in the Big Woods
I honestly can’t remember a time when Laura Ingalls wasn’t as familiar to me as I was to myself. I don’t remember the first time I read her books, and I can’t recall the first time they were read to me: I only know that there was never a time I didn’t know her name…

Super Betty Cooper: 5 Reasons She Is the Hero We Need and Bestie We Deserve
The Riverdale gang aren’t just musicians, athletes, designers, scientists, time travellers, adventurers, and Predator and zombie battlers, they’re also superheroes! Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie, and Moose are the Super Teens.
Leia Organza: A Fashionable Celebration of the Quintessential Princess in Gown, Cape, and Jumpsuit
For many of us, the first princess we ever knew was the rebel leading, blaster shooting, badass Princess Leia from Star Wars. This is a legacy we strive to pass on to the next generation. I’d like to think that, after finding this in my nine year old’s homework, I’m doing a good job of…
The DC Daily Planet: Dream Projects and So Many Trailers
Happy Friday, everyone! I’m back at the reins for the DCDP today, but can we all agree that Desiree has been doing a fabulous job? In fact, she even collected these links and articles for me. Everyone say thanks, Desiree! We’ve reported before that Marguerite Bennett, awesome creator and all-around cool person, is working on…
Closet Cosplay: The Star-Spangled Man With a Plan
Listen, I know the US of A isn’t super popular, globally speaking, but for all my country’s issues, I still love it, and the Fourth of July — a.k.a. Independence Day — is still one of my favorite holidays.
#FreePeterParker: Spidey is Trapped in a Timeloop — WWAC to the Rescue!
When Sony agreed to let Marvel Studios give us the next Spidey film, we had our hopes that we’d get something more, because really, after five Spider-Man movies, we’re tired of Peter Parker and had our hearts set on a fresh take on the webslinger. Alas, we’ve got a new Spider-Man and it’s, unsurprisingly, not Miles Morales and…
WWAC Warriors: Standing Eight
In the course of eight days before beginning this article, I had six separate pep talks from five different people about my upcoming second fight. A week and a half before I was scheduled to get back in the ring, I asked my kru (my coach; see previous previous posts 1 and 2) to take…
Top 10 Redheads: Anime Edition
We at Women Write About Comics want to show our support for the red-haired people of this world! Back in 2014, Ashley Schmuecker put out her top ten list of kick-ass superheroes and villains with glorious red (and orange) locks. It’s about time we showcased more awesome redheads, isn’t it? WWAC writers have nominated and voted on our favorite…
The DC Daily Planet: Shipper Edition
Not a lot happening over at the erstwhile Action Comics this week, crusaders, and I’m a bit crunched for time, so today’s DCDP is going to highlight two great shippy moments from this week. Starting off strong, right out of the gate, we finally have confirmation that Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy aren’t just best…
