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

But comics are for men! She better be scantily clad.

Falcon is the new Captain America! Marvel isn't fucking around. Maybe this whole week is just Thor is a woman and Captain America is black and Iron Man is gay and Daredevil is blind wait.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

On the disabilities front Bruce Banner is currently brain-damaged and I think the plan was for Hawkeye to be deaf by now (though with the multiple delays it may turn out to be a natural consequence of aging instead of injury by a villain). It does kind of feel like Marvel Editorial is playing a game of diversity bingo, even if the end result is a trend I approve of.

Oh right! I remember Fraction saying that.

Hm, they didn't go for the trifecta and make Iron Man gay after all. Instead they're going Dark Stark or something.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Boom! Studios has a Humble Bundle right now, and if you pay $15 or more you get all 4 Lumberjanes, the whole run of Midas Flesh (8 issues), 2 issues of Bee and Puppycat, and 4 issues of Bravest Warriors, in addition to a crapton of other titles. I am ALL OVER this. [link]

A preview of the new Batgirl comic.

I'm liking what I see. How old is Babs supposed to be? (or for that matter, Black Canary?) I know that Babs is de-aged from the pre-New-52 version of her, but is she younger than the post-new-52 Gail Simone version?
