Comics are Awesome!!

[nenena]

Hey, look what poisonivory and I are doing!

Lookeeeeeee!

And yes, we are still very very interested in getting guest posts from anybody and everybody interested. Personally, I'd be especially interested in hearing from somebody with experience using science- or math-focused comics, i.e. The Manga Guide to Statistics.

Also, since I haven't plugged this in a while, and hey, a reminder never hurts:

We're still working on this totally awesome map of feminist-friendly comic book stores, and I only added two lonely little submissions this month. If you know of an awesome comic book store that deserves to be on the map, please submit one!

Finally... Watchmen: Portraits. WOW.

I was going to add Planet X but I dun rly know how to answer most of those questions so maybe I dunno the place well enuf to declare it feminist friendly yet :(

Also the Beguiliing, but you alrdy have that :|

Wait, The Manga Guide to Statistics exists? Whoa.

The only actual science comic-like books I've dealt with are Anatomy coloring books. I don't think there's anything gender-biased or gender-liberating about those (though I think they did use a female face for the facial muscles - can't remember though). :\

Sequential Smarts looks pretty awesome.

If you find a manga which is useful for teaching biology please let me know. :D

Well, on the Sequential Smarts blog we're definitely not looking at everything through a gender-focused lens. It's just that, if a particular comic happens to be egregiously sexist, we'll definitely take note of that.

1. Sequential Smarts = Awesome Idea.
2. Keep an eye on your mail in the next couple of weeks. <3

Ah, I see. I still don't think I could be of any help with my Anatomy coloring books, but I'll certainly look forward to any science-related comic reviews that come up!
