Awesome Comic Sunglasses “Sun-Staches”.

Nubia 10:10:00 PM

Maybe They're Not For Everyday But They're Hella Cool.

(Harley Quinn)

I read about these "Sun-Staches" on CBR and couldn't help but agree, I'm not sure why the name? haha. They have nothing to do with mustaches which is where my mind immediately wanders with the name.These sunglasses look like they're mainly for style and stunting around which makes me wonder how effective they actually are at blocking the sun.

Anyways, these DC Comics Themed Sunglasses are pretty rad. I'd rock a pair regardless. They're exaggerated and the ideal product for any nerdy/geeky fashionista. The only ones I can really see being worn on the regular perhaps are the Catwoman pair. The rest would be cool for cosplay purposes at Comic Cons or Gamer conventions.

You can head over HERE and pre-order a pair which are estimated to be released this August 2015 for a very cool $9.99 right now.

Women Wednesday: Geek Girl Declaration.

Nubia Mejia 11:05:00 AM

I found this goodie while searching The Fangirls Guide To The Galaxy...

I thought it was a good message to share on "Women Wednesday. Geek girls don't have to prove themselves. Whether you're new to embracing the geek girl in you or you're a vet... you have to just own it, you don't have to pass any test! You can be a girly girl and still a geek girl... don't let anyone judge you! It's ok to support and encourage the new female characters and writers in the comic book industry (girls have to stick together). GEEK GIRLS DON'T APOLOGIZE. You're smart, beautiful and witty.

Make sure you read the whole snippet and go do your thing girl! A Fan girl, a Geek Girl, a Feminist... whatever they want to call you, you are a force to be reckoned with!

Marvel's Princess Leia Comic Book #1 Art Revealed!

Nubia Mejia 3:36:00 PM

Just yesterday I was talking about females in the comic book world after seeing little ol' 11 year old Rowans letter to DC Comics...

Today we have great news! Fans of girl power in Comics and SUPER fans of Star Wars and Princess Leia rejoice! For Marvel has graced us with some sneak peeks into it's 'Star Wars: Princess Leia #1' available in shops March 4th 2015. Below you'll be able to see a few preview pages and a ton of variant covers. The miniseries is written by Mark Waid (DareDevil) and artist Terry Dodson (X-Men).

"When Princess Leia Organa was captured by the Empire as a Rebel spy, she never betrayed her convictions, even in the face of the complete obliteration of her home world, Alderaan. When rescue came, she grabbed a blaster and joined the fight, escaping back to the Rebel Alliance. But in the aftermath of the Rebellion’s harrowing victory and destruction of the first Death Star, the question remains – what is a princess without a world?

“How does she really cope with losing her entire world once the events around that loss have calmed down somewhat? Does she choose to be a princess of nothing – or does she set out to rebuild her heritage and civilization?” asks writer Mark Waid, in an interview with Marvel.com.

Now, follow Leia’s journey in the days following the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope as she searches for answers…and for hope. Witness the beginnings of the journey that transforms a princess without a home into one of the greatest leaders in the fight for freedom across the galaxy! It all begins this March, as PRINCESS LEIA #1, the explosive first issue comes to comic shops and digital devices!"

What do you guys all think? Any opinions or thoughts?

PREACH: A Little Girls Letter To DC Comics About Girl Power.

Nubia Mejia 12:32:00 PM

There has ALWAYS been so much back and forth about women in the comic book industry. Whether it's about female writers, artist, or the female characters in the comics themselves. People fight about how they're so sexually exposed and have crazy body standards for young women to look up too. There's also a way smaller percentage of female characters on TV shows and movies.

But Anyways, to not make this chat go on forever... it's not like adult women are the only ones noticing! 11 year old Rowan is the brave little soul who wrote this letter to DC Comics and honestly, I hope more little girls are growing up being taught to speak their minds just like here!

Dear DC comics,

My name is Rowan and I am 11 years old. I love superheroes and have been reading comics and watching superhero cartoons and movies since I was very young. I'm a girl, and I'm upset because there aren't very many girl superheroes or movies and comics from DC.

For my birthday, I got some of your Justice League Chibis™. I noticed in the little pamphlet that there are only 2 girl Chibis, and 10 boys. Also, the background for the girl figures was all pink and purple.

I remember watching Justice League cartoons when I was really young with my dad. There are Superman and Batman movies, but not a Wonder Woman one. You have a Flash TV show, but not a Wonder Woman one. Marvel Comics made a movie about a talking tree and raccoon awesome, but you haven't made a movie with Wonder Woman.

I would really like a Hawgirl (sic) or Catwoman or the girls of the Young Justice TV show action figures please. I love your comics, but I would love them a whole lot more if there were more girls.

I asked a lot of the people I know whether they watched movies or read books or comics where girls were the main characters, they all said yes.

Please do something about this. Girls read comics too and they care.

Sincerely, Rowan.

I was so taken by this letter and her detailed accounts about the packaging and numbers and how she went around asking her friends questions... Rowan, you rock!

Anyway, here is what DC Comics had to say via Twitter...

Though I do believe things have been changing and there has been more and more female writers, artist, and characters on TV... it has all taken A REAL LONG TIME to happen. I can only hope things keep going in this direction and eventually it won't be such a big issue anymore.

Some fans did jump to speak their minds on some of the issues as well...

While other fans congratulated Comic Book Houses on their progress towards females...

I personally understand many peoples frustration on this topic... these changes are WAY OVERDUE. However, they do say "Better Late Than Never". I see a lot of changes celebrating females going on. More female artist, more writers, more conservative outfits (Ex: New Wonder Woman), more on TV (Agent Carter, Wonder Woman in progress as well as Jessica Jones).

Now I believe we all have to sit back, relax, and enjoy the progress...

What do you think?

Oliver Queen

CW's 'Arrow' Back On Tonight.

Nubia Mejia 12:45:00 PM

Remember how The Arrow (Oliver Queen) left us in the mid-season finale?

Yeah... Not Pretty Buddy!

Totally not cool crushing the hearts of geeks boys and swooning girls all over the world there ollie. In the words of Stephanie Tanner "HOW RUDE!"

Basically, for anyone who needs a quick catch up...

Oliver admits to killing Black Canary (Sara Lance).
In reality, Thea Queen killed her BUT has no recollection of it.
Malcolm Merlyn used a plant called "votura" on Thea which basically brainwashed her and made her do what he wanted.
Oliver admits to Ra’s al Ghul that he killed Sara to protect Thea from being killed.
Oliver then duels to the death with Ra’s al Ghul. Oliver put on a poor preformance, get's stabbed with a sword through the chest, and gets kicked off a snowy mountain ledge.
We all presume he's dead because after that fight, I mean... C'mon.

But as we all know, Oliver won't stay dead. Who will save him? What strange magic, voo-doo tricks or fountains will be used to bring him back to life? I guess we'll find out tonight!

See you soon Arrow. And I hope you're hella pissed.
