KS Spidey (and redheads)

At Midtown Comics last week, I scored the King Size Spider-Man summer special. Colleen Coover's art is the star, with "Un-enchanted evening" the starter story, staring Mary Jane Watson. In fact, there are many redheads-- Hellcat, Marvel Girl, Scarlet Witch (with Medusa as "redundant. already have three redheads.".

Mary Jane's story begins with a night with models Millie and Patsy (Walker, as in Hellcat). Patsy goes through a portal and a team of female hero-types, with many redheads and She-Hulk, another female favorite of mine.

If you missed this summer special, there's also a Keith Giffen "Street Monsters" story and a "Paperboy Showdown" by Chris Giarrusso, also in the fun cute style that pits Spidey with Venom to deliver Norman Osborn (Green Goblin) paper.

Picked up 3 weeks, for $36 worth of comics. 3 Trinities, and assorted other titles.
Hope you are enjoying the start of fall-- I've been wearing sweaters myself.

Love

Love can not be retconned.

Minimates and Baby Taylor

Look at the cute Minimates I got--
Her dress is actually a dark green, like in Spider-Man 3. I actually got the variant, which has an additional Spidey head with mask.

Another gift to me this week (helped with some cards for buying a Refridge and W/D)

I haven't done much more than look at the cover flow art, and download free Anderson Cooper and Variant Edition vidcasts. I can't believe the studios try to make us believe they make no money from all those TV shows and series you can buy on iTunes. Give me a break!

While I'm sharing this, how about my Baby Taylor, only a few months old. Was working on "Santa Claus is coming to town", "Blue Christmas" and "Auld Lang Syne". I think the sound for a 3/4 size is excellent, and it's so light to play after using an electric solely.

Hope you are all having a good holiday season! Patrons and staff have been giving us cookies and candy. I gave Ref. some green tea and popcorn today.

Fact vs. Fiction

Fiction: A fictional character represented by an absurd statue, that spawned many an overheated blog post.



Fact: A real, live redhead doing actual laundry!

As a woman and a comic fan, I hate how ridiculous her body is sculpted and posed, but also believe the button-pushing is not furthering the women are sequential art fans /comic book fan cause. Let's just use our sense and dollars to buy art and stories that do represent us in a real way - we can be smart and sexy and authentic.
