Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman

To my utter disbelief, Rebirth will not include Sensation Comics, a compilation of Wonder Woman short stories. From encounters with Cheetah to tales of love and war, this offshoot covered alternate story arcs for our favorite Amazonian heroine, unrelated to her main title series.

Comic Books With Strong Female Characters That Are Not Half Naked!

Not all comic books are centered on Superheroes and most of those that feature women do so in skimpy clothes. Been there, seen it, read it.

DC v Marvel

A few of my readers and friends were very curious to know my take on DC vs Marvel.  Because in some cases all they know about comic book characters comes from what they have seen in TV or the movies, I felt I needed to split the content into three parts: history, evolution and pros […]
