fuckyeahnormanosborn asked: Wait, there are tumblr fan-blogs like this that AREN'T Fuck Yeahs?

fuckyeahmaxwelledison asked: we memes have to stick together, sister.

Anonymous asked: excuse me, but why the juvenile Team America style F***Yeah in the title of this otherwise brilliant and essential BW fansite? Kinda spoils it.

Review: Fear Itself: Black Widow

petervnguyen: fuckyeahblackwidow: I am bad at concise sum-ups, and they do not interest me. If there is a given comic with Black Widow in the title, my opinion is: hell yes you should buy it. This is an uncomplicated one-shot that has Natasha encountering terrorists and running out of bubblegum, with bonus cameo by a white guy with silly wings attached whose name is not Tim Drake. If we go...

Anonymous asked: is there a reason you don't post much movieverse stuff?

twbasketcase: fuckyeahblackwidow: In 1999, Gail Simone, with the help of a few other fans, compiled a list of female characters who had been raped, killed, tortured, depowered as a plot device within superhero comics…. This is an excellent post, and I kinda really want to read this story now. o.0 I have a newfound respect for Marjorie Lui. Off topic of the post itself, this is the first time...

Anonymous asked: Why do you hate Invincible Iron Man?

So apparently the submissions page was broken thanks to the great 2011 tumblr layout shift. But I have fixed things now so you can submit things and thereby have your internet existence fulfilled by contributing to this blog. You can hardly wait, I can tell. Also I made the “submit” and “ask” pages easier to find, hopefully!!

Bucky Barnes and the Impossible Standard

Captain America #45: A world in which nobody wears a shirt Today I’d like to put my cynic shades on and write about the recent desecration of Natasha Romanov. It goes like this: boy comes back from the dead via convoluted retcon and creator bias, boy meets girl, girl becomes empty shell of her former characterization and now lives eternally semi-clad in boy’s apartment. We’ve...

wondygirl: latkje: Oh, I see. Natasha gets to stand around and sob and be ~comforted~ while the same white dudes who always get their big damn hero shot get their big damn hero shot. And Sam just kinda disappears. Everything went as expected. There’s going to be a Black Widow Fear Itself mini chronicling her adventures during the event, but it still doesn’t excuse this. I agree 100% though,...

The Perils of Tumblr Tracked Tags

Some observations on certain character tags that I track. The character that appeared in the Dark Reign issues of Thunderbolts, including that, uh, completely necessary crossover with Deadpool, was not Yelena Belova. It was Natasha in disguise, and the real Yelena Belova (per the Grayson/Rucka stories) does not act like that. Corollary: This is not Clint Barton, it is Bullseye. It shows up at...

The Problem of Ivan

Eyes front, Ivan! It’s Father’s Day, and so I thought I would do a post on Natasha’s surrogate father figure, Ivan Petrovich Bezukhov. Spoilers: I’m not going to be very kind to him. And trigger warning, this post deals with pseudo-incest, unwanted sexual advances, assault, and threats of rape. Plus a whole lot of bonus slut shaming, so I’m cutting the post...

keter-in-malkuth reblogged your photo: Here’s something I love unreservedly: John Paul… Ellis loves Steranko, he referenced him constantly Yeah, I know!! That is why I felt I could address him personally. ...
