The SJW Comic Book Club

Did you know there are just, like, SO many amazing queer comics out right now? Like, almost too many to read?
But you have to start somewhere, so let's dive into Cheer Up: Love and Pompoms, the story of a young trans girl reconnecting with her prickly friend over the shared activity of cheerleading, and discuss! And let's do it with our amazing new friends, Mike and Jessika from the EXCELLENT podcast Ten Cent Takes!
Next week, we will be reading Captain Marvel (2014) #1-6: Higher, Further, Faster, More. We invite you to read along with us.
Veronica's theme this season is Redemption (for characters we didn't like before). Monte's theme is Femme Fatales.

What makes a king worthy to rule?
This week we discuss Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet, the first Black Panther story by acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, in which the stability of Wakanda is threatened by an insurrection. Let's just say, Coates knocked it out of the park.

Redemption can look a little strange, depending on who is seeking it. For a certain someone, it might include a lot of the only thing she knows how to do well--contract killing.
Join us in delving into the psyche of Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, in Black Widow (2014) #1-6: The Finely Woven Thread.
Next week will be Mini-sode #4: . The week after that, we will be reading Ghost Rider (1973) #68: The Curse of Johnathan Blaze (this link leads to a longer collection, of which we are reading only one issue--my apologies, I can't find it anywhere else). We invite you to read along with us.
Veronica's theme this season is Redemption (for characters we didn't like before). Monte's theme is Femme Fatales.

Due to technical difficulties, this episode is a week late but it's still great! This week we discuss Nubia & the Amazons #1-6 with recurring guests and friends of the pod Marci & Ako of the Colored Pages Book Club! Unfortunately we lost a pretty big chunk of the audio for this episode, but our guests were gracious enough to re-record sections of the conversation and you can barely even tell it was Jerry-rigged. In fact if I hadn't told you, you probably wouldn't notice at all. Big thanks to Marci & Ako!
Next week is a feature, and then we will be discussing our final Wonder Woman comic of the season, JLA: A League of One, with Anne of The Comics Collective!
Monte's theme this season is works by writer Vita Ayala. Veronica's theme is a character study of Wonder Woman (with curation assistance by @AnneComics on Twitter, cohost of The Comics Collective).
