I want this thread to be devoted to the ladies. I wanna create a place where we as women can get together and talk about our favorites-- comic books, titles, characters, artists, etc; movies, actors, anything that crosses your mind. Time for all the ladies in the house to sound off!

Since this is my brain-child, I'll go first, of course. But before I begin my mad ravings, I'd like to throw out a question--Do you think that admitting your gender adds or detracts from your individual opinion--that is, do the guys take you more seriously if they think you're one of them? Or do you think that they respect you more because you don't only care about hair styles and fashion trends?

Now, then, I'm 30, been married for almost 9 years, and have 3 sons--Brendan, 7; Cameron, 5; and Alex, is 3, but he and I will be celebrating our 31st and 4th birthdays on the 7th and 6th of June, respectively.
I have been in love with Spider-man my entire life, and began collecting comics when I was about 10 or 11. The first series I began actively collecting was the Transformers and G.I. Joe--and am still an avid fan of both today. The Transformers was initially supposed to be just a 4 issue limited series, but it ended up being 80 issues long. At the top of the last issue was the heading "#80 IN A FOUR-ISSUE LIMITED SERIES" I always thought that was funny.
I have always been a Marvel girl, though I did collect some DC stuff for a while, as well as some Image stuff for a bit. I had been unimpressed with the same sort of primitive drawings that the 2 giants were releasing, and Image's pencils and inks were light-years ahead of where I thought Marvel should be, but fortunately, they evolved.
My favorite character is Venom, though I have many, many others that I love nearly as much. My favorite artists are Skottie Young, who I know most people hate, but who gives a sh*t? I also love McFarlane, Michelinie, and Bagley's work. But enough about me... I'd like to hear from all the gals who post here. Not just about comics, either, but that's a good place to start.

This doesnt exactly belong in the comic book forum. VENOMfan will probably move it. the off-topic forum?

It's a tought one......... I mean this thread is about discusing comics right? it would get moved back If I sent it too the OTF

I think it's alright here

doesnt exactly sound like just comics.

OK. as long as it stay's around Comics I dont have a problem with it. but try to keep it about comics in general K?

writers, artists, Characters, companys such. there isnt anything wrong with Badsymbiote reaching out to fellow female comic readers.

but for future referance if there is somthing anyone has a problem with hit the report button. seriously if anything anybody see's fit just report it and either Fire or Myself will handle it.
good job lookin out tho Arachnoidfreak

Hey, I put it out here 'cuz I have noticed more women posting in the comics section. I have no problem with ya moving it, It just don't think the gals posting on those other forums are gonna have too much in common with me, since I'm not too terribly into discussing how cute Orlando Bloom is, or nailpolish colors and underwear and stuff.
I'm guessing they really won't wanna post after I've just ripped on some of the stuff that they hold most dear, and as of yet, I'm still the only woman on this thread--so I may just ask VENOMfan to close it entirely. But I figure it'd be nice to give it a day or 2. Afterall, we as women have more stuff on our proverbial plates than to just live on the computer and wait for responses.

Ill just wait and see. hopefully the thread does well.

but most of the female comic readers dont come here. they stick to the X-men forum I could move it there but then your kinda restricted to X-men topics and disscusion. I wont close it, if the thread does well it does well.
if it dosent then it will die anyways.

unless of course forum rules are broken in witch case I will close it, but lets try not to be a rowdy bunch

Aye, aye, skipper. Roger wilco and all that. Thanks for not tryin' to ostracize me. I don't anticipate much of a response here, though, you're right, this subject would probably get more attention on the X-men threads, but then I'd have to start hearing all the girls yammering on about Gambit and Wolverine, and those guys already get too much attention.

Yeah thats what I was thinkin. OMG Wolverine and Gambit!! *sarcasm*

I figured you wanted a more quality based conversation. hopefully a good discussion starts.

Loved the sarcasm thing. Your conversation's good enough fer me, though. Hey, are you having any trouble with your computer tonight? God, I think mine needs to be euthanized to put it out of my misery. I can't post a bloomin' thing without a buttload of trouble.
Hey VENOMfan, congrats on the moderator thing. It'll make good use of some of your talent.

Well KMC has been a "tad" on the fritz lately. too many differnt things for me to recall at the moment.

did you get ahold of Venom #15?

Oh, yes. I got my grubby hands on it before it even hit the shelf at my comic shop. Check your messages--I made ya an offer I don't think you can refuse.

Indeed! but this is getting off topic. we can move this to the Venom thread right?

i'd like to know the female perspective on daredevil. is he just a pig out to get lots of sex or is he just a genuinely sensitive guy? what about Anne Nocenti's creation, Typhoid Mary? and most importantly (speaking of x-men) why so many girls still like cyclops after "from the ashes" and "inferno"?

Good lord! I replied to this once, but it didn't post for some reason. Damnation! OK, I'll be brief, but I want to respond to this stuff. I think first, that's great the DD has the opportunity to be a pig, and nice to see that he can still attract some interested booty despite having what others may call a "disability". He seems fairly sensitive, and I do admire the strength and conviction in his character. If, at the end of the day, you manage to do more good than harm, then you should sleep easy. My boss used to tell me, "Be good, do good, and you'll always be happy." I'm very inclined to believe it.
I don't know enough about Typhoid Mary to offer an opinion, but like her name implies, I'm sure she's an absolute bad-*ss.
Regarding Cyclops, I have no idea why women are drawn to him, but I know that they are. I don't know why, but I do know that I am somehow immune to his charms...

I'm not cry

sorry for bringing this up...

Well in my book no one can surpass teh hotness that is the Dark Night!
The way his slits contract when he's pensive, the way his mouth is set in that grim line, his strong prominent jaw, that cape of his that oh-so-modestly engulfs him so that he exudes mystique and suspense...Did I mention the amazing shape his body is in?!
And as Bruce wayne, he is a bad boy alright! But I just LOVE those intense blue eyes...showing there IS more to him than that play boy aura...that trademark smirk...I could drool...
