What is the best way for fans to tell Marvel that we want a Spider Woman solo title written by you? I know you may not want to write such a book, but your Spider Woman is so good!

Aw, that’s very sweet!   

The best way to tell Marvel *anything* is to write to them — mheroes at marvel dot com.

A love of superheroes | OUPblog → blog.oup.com

lady-banner:

When I started as an editorial assistant at Oxford University Press ten months ago, two of the first titles I began work on were Our Superheroes, Ourselves, edited by Robin Rosenberg, and What is a Superhero?, edited by Robin Rosenberg and Peter Coogan…It’s been a fantastic opportunity to work on a project whose topic was so close to my heart. The books operate at a unique and brilliant intersection between enthusiastic love and academic inquiry—celebrating superheroes even as they ask why they remain such compelling and permanent fixtures in our cultural landscape.

Getting so close to publication!! Also, I’ve officially given up on trying to keep my professional and fannish personas seperate when it comes to publicizing these :P. These are those superhero books I’ve been clandestinely(ish) talking about for months, friends, and this is the most official plug I’ll be making for them. Don’t have much to add other than what’s in the post, but—these books are really cool, y’all.

Also, if my word isn’t enough, I might add that the back cover of What is a Superhero? is going to feature endorsements from two of my own real-life heroes: Karen Green, graphic novels librarian extraordinaire, and Kelly Sue DeConnick, writer extraordinaire. I think the blurbs are up on the webpage already, so if you don’t believe me when I say that it’s pretty great, you should believe them :D.

How do you words so good, Kelly Sue? Teach me your ways.

Thank you.

My secret: rewrite. Rewrite. Rewrite. Rewrite. Rewrite.

You have the loveliest home I have ever seen! If I may ask, do you have a TV in your living room?

Thank you. No, no TV in the living room.

How is it that your house does not explode with the combined beauty and talent of you and Matt?

His beauty balances against my talent in such a way that all the molecules are stabilized. For now. He keeps working out though and the universe is doomed! 

(Before anyone jumps to clarify that the inquirer didn’t suggest that one was one and the other, the other — Yes, I know. It was very sweet. I’m teasing.)
