Don’t Be Shy; I’m A Doctor

It has been a strange and full day, culminating in a spirited argument between me, Amanda and conributor Lance Manion as to the proper order of a Dr. Who-themed Fuck, Marry, Kill game populated by Amy Pond, Rose Tyler and Jon Pertwee (Editor’s Note: I have chosen… poorly). So combining that and hard liquor means that this…

…means the end of our broadcast day.

But if you have to find yourself in a position where you’re denying that Tom Baker’s scarf might be hiding tits and an Adam’s Apple, there are worse takes with which to distract yourself. We’ve got new Ultimate Spider-Man, Secret Avengers, Avengers Academy, All-Star Western, and a bunch of other cool-looking books to distract you from what happened at the glory hole in the side of the TARDIS!

But before we can review them, we need to read them! Also to gargle, but mostly to read them. So until then: see you tomorrow, suckers!

The State Of The Superheroine Addressed

Yesterday on Comic Book Resources, Robot 6 announced that Wonder Women! The Untold Story Of American Superheroines would receive its world premiere in Austin, Texas at the South By Southwest Film Festival on March 10, 2012 at 7pm. According to its official Web site this is a Kickstarter funded documentary, which:
 

…traces the fascinating evolution and legacy of Wonder Woman. From the birth of the comic book superheroine in the 1940s to the blockbusters of today, WONDER WOMEN! looks at how popular representations of powerful women often reflect society’s anxieties about women’s liberation.

WONDER WOMEN! goes behind the scenes with Lynda Carter, Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real life superheroines such as Gloria Steinem, Shelby Knox and others who offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male dominated superhero genre.

Check out the official trailer after the jump and read on for some separate, but related material, also posted to Comic Book Resources, by Kelly Thompson that questions just how equally men and women are portrayed in the comic book medium.
