Hello! I am KJ, and this is my Tumblr. You may also know me as Owlmoose. Here you will find cute animals, fandomy things (mostly Critical Role, Dragon Age, and Marvel these days, but some Final Fantasy as well, plus other things that catch my fancy), and political stuff. Unrepentant liberal and feminist.

Greg Rucka comments on Lois Lane, Superman, and their treatment

[click here for the original post]

After watching Scott Lobdell humiliate a female Lois Lane fan on his Facebook page yesterday and then reading this…it’s honestly hard not to cry.

Greg Rucka almost never fails to impress me with how completely, perfectly, he Gets It. How I wish this man was still working for DC Comics. (Not that I blame him one bit for not being interested.) And most especially, I wish he was still writing Superman and Lois Lane. Because I really think he understands not only these characters, but a general, troubling trend in comics we’re seeing all too often lately.

Well said, Mr. Rucka. Very well said, indeed.

…for the contingent out there who sneer at heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman and Captain America, those icons who still, at their core, represent selfless sacrifice for the greater good, and who justify their contempt by saying, oh, it’s so unrealistic, no one would ever be so noble… grow up. Seriously. Cynicism is not maturity, do not mistake the one for the other. If you truly cannot accept a story where someone does the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, that says far more about who you are than these characters.

Somebody needed to say it.

Greg Rucka has rocked the worlds of comics and novels for years, including memorable Batman writing, plus the Queen and Country series and the Atticus Kodiak books…

It’s a lengthy read, but filled with honest (and refreshing) insight.

Maybe now the poor guy can just point to this the next time some asshole asks, “Why do you write so many big story-ladies, penmonkey?”
