I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think more people should read Daredevil.

Request from one of my minions:
i inadvertently got my 5yo hooked on graphic novels when she started reading Amulet on her own; suggestions for age-appropriate books?
I'm useless at this...hivemind?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Teen Titans Go comic is very kid friendly, and they were collected in trades.
You can also get classic Carl Barks' Uncle Scrooge comics in reprints.

Also Tiny Titans, but IDK if it's in trades yet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
When Disney bought Marvel, the first thing that came to mind was that I hoped there would be phonebook editions of Carl Barks.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Owen reads Teeny Titans regularly. It's a very good start for very young kids. Few words, easy action to follow. DC has also started some kid-friendly Super Friends titles. There was also a 3 part Toy Story series (The Mysterious Stranger) which Owen is wearing out from cover to cover.

And actually, Tiny Titans is really damn funny for adults.
Or maybe just this adult.
But seriously, it regularly cracks my shit up. Darkseid as the school cafeteria lunchlady, complete with hair net? GENIUS.
