Girls Love Superheroes: A Linkspam
This post is sort of a continuation of my previous post Girls Love Superheroes. There were so many links and recommendations I wanted to feature but could not fit in, especially as my post got longer. Because of this I’ve decided to make a couple of follow-ups.
Today’s focus: a pile of links related to women and comics. This is by no means a spam to all possible links; these are just the ones that I have been reading recently.
