Review: Amazing Adventures #1-8

In a luxurious penthouse high above the East River, the mysterious Madame Natasha whiles away the hours like any other international jet-setter… You probably wanted me to talk more about Winter Soldier but instead here’s several rambling paragraphs about seldom-reprinted issues from the early 1970s. I do what I want, Thor! Like most of Marvel’s women who haven’t carried a...

“Just look at the movies: only the bitches wear black. There is Margo...”

MMMOBW 3: Natasha Walks Out of a Refrigerator

fuckyeahblackwidow: My only complaint is these restraints. I’d like them a little tighter, please. 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. She called it, “women in refrigerators.” You see: violence against women is far more likely to have a sexual...

asgardianshakespeare: It’s really tragic. There’s one lego set with her in it, and there’s an expensive action figure, but there’s nothing else. No plush dolls, nothing.

It had a script, it had a director, so, everything the Edgar Wright Ant-man flick has, locked as it is in the cyrogenic rumor chamber of maybe someday. It...

So Marvel, can we have that Black Widow film?...

More on Avengers Assemble

“Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room,” Loeb said. “I know a lot of you are big fans of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.” Alluding to internet rumors—”a lot of things on the internet are not true”—Loeb said Earth’s Mightiest Heroes was always going to be 52 episodes, an animation industry standard order. “When that show...

“I’m more than tired of the conventional wisdom that Marvel doesn’t have the...”

“[They would be] brought together for a very specific purpose…because they have...”

– Marjorie Liu describes a team made up of Black Widow, X-23, Elektra, and Mystique— a pitch Marvel rejected because it “wouldn’t sell”. Just reading that description, replace “women” with “men” and ask yourself if it sound like a book Marvel would publish. Or already has (*cough* Uncanny X-Force...
