Also, I thought this was interesting, at Free Comic Book day, I was told by people dressed as Spiderman, Thor, Captain America, and Black Widow that I look EXACTLY like Miss Marvel. So of course I have no idea what she looks like and I ask to see her, so they take me to the owner of the store and…

I’m a little obsessed with this upcoming Captain Marvel series by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Dexter Soy, featuring Carol Danvers as the new Captain. It’s a bold move and atypical of what you usually see in female superhero characters, who too often end up over-sexualized decorations for male characters. The costume (designed by Jamie McKelvie) makes a statement, not for its own sake, but because it makes sense for the character. And frankly, she looks badass. There’s an interview at CBR where DeConnick has this amazing quote:

“C’mon now, people: prove me wrong. Show me that a female-led book about the power of the human spirit, about the many guises of heroism, a book wherein no one gets raped or puts her cervix on display, can break six issues, won’t you?”

Reading the article about Robert Frank’s NYC photos in the paper this morning put me in mind of one of my favorite photos by Helen Levitt. Is that kid in the shorts coming in or out?!

I don’t know anything about her, but the work speaks for itself and she sounds fascinating.

COVER OF THE HOLIDAYS: Daredevil No. 7, by Paolo Rivera. For the hard-earned money I set aside to spend each Wednesday, there are other artists whose interiors I’ll pop to buy no matter the cost. John Romita Jr. comes to mind. Sergio Ramos. I’m digging Greg Capullo’s Batman run. But Rivera has emerged as the master of the cover. Every month, the cover of the Daredevil reboot sings with depth, creativity and simplicity. This one captures the whimsy of the season, with Daredevil doing a snow angel (get it? get it?) with the skyline a silhouette in the back. The series started with the Cover of the Year (in my opinion), one that featured Daredevil swinging through the city and sounds — not lines or coloring or shading, but actual words — making up the buildings and water towers and birds around him. Check it out. Later covers included one featuring Captain America holding Daredevil’s batons and Daredevil riding Cap’s shield. For issue No. 4, Rivera’s cover riffed on those stark propaganda posters from the past and featured Daredevil swinging over a skyline made up of automatic weapons. It’s not just the art is sleek, it’s that the ideas are so bold and inventive. The cover that reached shelves this week are no exception. And coming in the new year: Rivera’s yin-yang cover featuring Daredevil and Spider-Man. Can’t wait.
