DC Women Kicking Ass

Thoughts, pictures, reviews and other stuff about the women in comics who kick ass.

"... provides a much-needed voice that is not often heard on traditional comic sites." - Wired's Geek Dad
... she's pretty amazingly ignorant of comics outside of the Batverse and some recent Wonder Woman, and seems pretty clueless about the way the industry works. That and she doesn't write that well at all." anonymous poster, Dreamwidth

Preview of Batwoman #19

We find out who that mysterious person Cameron Chase met up with in the last issue and its a nice revelation for those who have read the Chase series. 

I think the WTF panel of the cover reveal isn’t nearly as WTFky than others I’ve seen.

Preview of Batwoman 17: Say Goodbye to J.H. Williams’ Art

Batwoman #17 is out tomorrow and it is the last issue for the foreseeable future with J.H. Williams III on art (he’ll continue to co-write the book with Haden Blackman.) While I think Trevor McCarthy has been doing a good job handing art on the alternating issues, the loss of Williams is a significant one. Williams has been the signature artist on the character since her arc in Detective Comics almost four years ago. He created the character’s post 52 look and has been the creator associated with the character the longest. I am going to greatly miss his art on this book.

Here’s a look at the issue also wraps up the arc with Wonder Woman.

Kick Ass DC Woman Tourney: Sweet 16, Match 1

And we’re back with the next round! Yesterday I posted the list of the women who made it into this round if you haven’t been following the tourney.

As I said, this is only going to get harder.

And here is today’s first match, and it is a battle of red heads from the Bat-verse!

Hmm, that really doesn’t narrow down the list that much does it?

Okay, in this corner a woman who kicks ass and leaves her logo doing so

Kate Kane, Batwoman!

and in the other corner, a woman who “leaves” her enemies wishing they’d not run into her

You can vote in this tournament here

Voting ends at 8:30PM EST.
