Strange ideas

[bcholmes]

So, today my copy of Scott McCloud's Making Comics arrived. And then, I read a comment by maevele. And now I've got this strange idea stuck in my brain: Fantastic Fourth Wave Feminism (The World's Greatest Comic Feminists!) Complete with such heroes as:

Ms. Fantastic Analysis - Imbued with unparallelled intellectual analysis, capable of stretching beyond any single subject position and expanding her critique to address the full breadth of intersectional experiences. Ms. Fantastic Analysis is the leader of this particular feminism.

The Hothead Passion - Full of fiery indignation and blazing energy, The Hothead Passion is always ready to dive into any flame war in defence of Fourth Wave Feminism. Is sometimes mistaken for that other Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist.

The Visible Woman - able to expose the social apparatus by making unseen assumptions visible, The Visible Woman is also able to create protective barriers and safe spaces.

The Complete Being - given the power to completely accept her body, the Complete Being rejects any attempt to objectify or dehumanize women -- to reduce them to merely some 'thing'. And being the most physical of these feminist heroes, she's able to go toe to toe with the patriarchy whenever she deems it "Clobberin' Time". Also bears many similarities to Feminist Hulk.

Would Feminist Hulk be part of the team, too? I suspect Feminist Hulk Smash! would as much needed in the fourth wave as in the third.

At the very least, a special team-up issue.

I've enjoyed the Scott McCloud works on sequential art that i've read, they've made me far more aware of the complexity, the embedded conventions of what i enjoy, and i really do enjoy Dicebox! Nice icon.
