Quickly put together To be read Picture

This is my quickly put together To be read pile. It is by no means completely, but..

We have: Madman and the Atomics by Michael Allred
Madman volumes 1-3 by Michael Allred
Superman The Golden Age vol 1 (trade, not omnibus)
Mockingbird Bobbi Morse Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Miracleman/Marvelman Book 1-3 by Original Writer and The Golden age by Neil Gaiman
Roy Thomas Presents Planet Comics vol 1
Vampirella Archives vol 1
Shang Chi, Master of Kng Fu volumes 2 and 3 (4 has already been pre-ordered)
Tomb of Dracula omnibus vol 3
Wonder Woman The Golden Age omnibus vol 2

And again, this is no where near complete. I have read Miracelman before, but not since it has been collected in trades, so that's why it's here..

Pride Month Recommendations 2 Lesbian/Bisexual female list

Ok.. on to the next recommendation list. Again, focusing on bisexual female and lesbian leads/major characters, but mostly leads. The first was gay/bi men (aka male/male relationships), this one will be lesbian/bi female (aka female/female relationships), trans*, queer, intersex, and asexual will be next and a final installment with books that just have a lot of everything. Again I'm putting lesbian and bisexual female characters together for the simple fact of female/female relationships would appeal to similar readers. That's all. So onto the list shall we? First up is Harley Quinn. Most of her books will work as there has been a strong subtext that she and Poison Ivy were more than just friends since she first appeared, but it's recently been confirmed in the Amanda Conner/Jimmy Palmiotti run that she is in fact bisexual and in a finally happy and healthy relationship with Pamela Isley aka Poison Ivy. It's a wacky fun series and Harley has recently gained a g...

Comic books and age limits

Greetings, I have not posted anything in forever and for that I am very, very sorry. I just haven't had much to talk about.. but since this came up and it's bothering me, here we go. Comic books (particularly superhero comics) and age ranges/limits - Recently a fellow librarian asked for help on suggestions for tween comics. I named a few more recent ones that are for a kid/tween/teen demographic and then explained that most older comics would also be appropriate for this age group. At this age, I was reading New Teen Titans and Uncanny X-men for instance without any issues. I specifically stated that comics, particularly superhero comics, have largely been "all ages" for most of their history. This angered the librarian who I made the recommendations too. This librarian told me they specifically wanted TWEEN books because it was helpful for parents, tweens, and librarians and they needed to be TWEEN. Also that older books were too dated and the color and art wasn...

Pride Month Recommendations 4: A Cast With 2 or More LGBTQ characters

Back again with the 4th round of recommendations.. So this list is books that have an ensemble of different LGBTQ characters. So with no further ado, here they are: Secret Six (first run) by Gail Simone and various artists - This includes Villains United, Murder for Money, Cat's Cradle and Caution to the Wild for all 36 issues plus the mini that started it all and yes.. you want them all. Contains: bisexual man , bisexual woman, lesbians, and genderqueer characters So to start off this rag tag band of misfits were a group of villains that refused to join all of the other villains in the world as they teamed up and the Secret Society of Villains didn't take to highly to them doing that, so they tried to have them killed. The Secret Six of course resisted, fought back, and won despite their power sets. It's a really fun romp all around and it has some nice emotional moments and backstabbing fun. In case you're wondering, Catman (Thomas Bl...
