The drugs are working! I’m insanely happy—even when I’m ironing. So far, I’ve ironed everything in the house—including my husband!

I’m not beautiful or popular.

Or smart.

But at least I have good self-esteem!

I’ll be signing autographs and showing off lots of cool Last Kiss goodies from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. this coming Sunday (Aug. 10) at Comic Dungeon here in Seattle. The C. Dungeon is holding it’s first mini-comic convention along with a huge sale.

If I’m not a enough reason for you to come, then there are other guests (including the fabulously talented David Lasky) as well as cosplayers and food trucks.

More details here.

Captain America: Patriotic, Sexy and…Female?

Captain America! The ultimate symbol of a patriotic, WW II era, American man—right? Not so fast, Bucky!

More and more at comic conventions, I see women creating female versions of superheroes. Personally, I think this is great (and strangely sexy), that women are claiming these characters as their own. On the downside, I suspect a lot of this also has to do with the fact that there aren’t enough female superheroes that women want to emulate.
