She Has No Head! – Third Annual Awesome Women In Comics Holiday Gift List, 2011
Welcome back to my annual female positive comics holiday gift list! So the holidays are (suddenly) upon us and you’ve decided that in these tough economic times you want to support the comic industry by giving everyone on your list sweet comics. And not only that, but you want to take it one step further [...]
Committed: Ms. New 52 and Her Powerful PMS
DC’s solo, female superhero titles depict women who are firmly focused on emotions, family, home, and sex. These women are so distracted by these things, that they’re barely able to think about their jobs as superheroes. It is disappointing to read so many women characters depicted this way, consistently unprofessional and erratic, and it is [...]
Greg reviews every single new DC comic!
Oh, yes, it’s time once again for something crazy like this. Brace yourselves! You might want to get a glass of water and some provisions before you start reading. It’s a long one, in case you can’t guess.
Committed: Regarding Male Superheroes as Sex Objects
As someone who spent her entire youth having inappropriate thoughts about superheroes, I’ve always understood that women aren’t the only ones being physically objectified in comic books, and men are being depicted as basically naked and entirely perfect as well. Finally it seems that the rest of the female population is catching on.
Committed: Women in Comics
Apparently there are journalists who are so naive as to think that the reason more women comic book creators aren’t successful is because they don’t feel comfortable with the aggressive subject matter of superhero comic books. It has been suggested lately by a number of people (who should know better) that the main reason women [...]
Committed: The Hidden Life of Non-Super Heroes
There are plenty of superheroes out there who don’t have physical superpowers. They are not strictly speaking “super” in any sense of the word, outside of their courage, hard work and determination. Yet you rarely see them dealing with the harsh realities of their own physical limitations. Is Doctor Strange the secret physical therapist of [...]
Random Thoughts!… with Bill Reed!? (June 7, 2011)
Random Hijack! Yes, I am stealing Chad Nevett’s bit for a week whilst he takes a hiatus from this column. Yes, this is all Travis Pelkie’s fault. It’s Random Thoughts time! Get excited! (Or don’t. It’s really up to you. This is a free country.)
Theory: Christian Bale’s Batman = Adam West’s Batman
Thanks to The Hub, I’ve been treated to an episode of the brilliant 1960s Batman TV show just about every night of the week. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve seen many of these stories, and I’m positively delighted to experience them once again. Being a tenth-level geek, however, has the back of [...]
Greg reviews every January DC comic!*
Everyone take a deep breath. Here we go!
Box of Comics: New Year’s Resolution Comics
For 2011, I’ve told myself to only buy masterpieces, or comics that are as good as I remember comics being when I was a kid. Reviews of such comics– under the cut!
Sunday Brunch: 1/9/11
In which the author gives himself an existential crisis about the state of pop culture, and also links to a picture of a bear eating a space ninja
She Has No Head! – Bests (And A Few Worsts) Of 2010
Closing up our month of lists and year in review on She Has No Head! is a list of my “Bests” from 2010 (and a few worsts). Please keep in mind that I didn’t get to read ALL THE BOOKS. For example, The Return of The Dapper Men is sitting here and wooing me with [...]

The greatest superhero movies aren’t cartoons or direct adaptations, they are films about regular people who step up when events conspire against them.
