Valerie D'Orazio

I gave up on Benes after he did a Supergirl story for us where he was supposed to draw a granny and she was drawn like a thirty-something hottie with a tank top and a mini-skirt. We sort of looked at that panel, considered asking him to change it, and then just said "f**k it.

That's damn funny.

Good Blog Spotlight: Digital Femme

I met Cheryl Lynn back at NYCC last year. We had conversed via blogs and MySpace a bit. It was a pleasure to get to sit down at the convention and talk to her for a bit.

Why? Because I greatly admire her work on her blog. I do miss the days where comments were allowed, but I can understand turning them off due to the spam she was receiving. She blogs from a unique perspective and never, in my opinion, says anything simply to shock or stir shit up. Often on the most controversial topics, she expresses her opinion reasonably, sometimes even understated. She almost always delivers it with a good deal of humor, the kind that wouldn't likely even agitate anyone with an opposing viewpoint.

For example, her coverage of the idea that the artistic representation of African American females in comics are too unrealistic or model themselves off of Halle Berry too often? Much tamer than the people that wind up joining her side of the argument than they link blog.
