Will there ever been a solo female superhero movie? With the recent successes  of comic books starring women (the all-female X-Men, Fearless Defenders, Captain Marvel, The New 52 Wonder Woman, Batgirl and Batwoman) is the time right?

The creative mind behind Buffy, Willow, Faith and who showcased Black Widow and Maria Hill perfectly in The Avengers was asked by The Daily Beast about the lack of female heroes on the big screen: Continue reading Joss Whedon on Female Superheroes in Film

Comic book to watch!

Did you pick up Avengers: The Enemy Within #1 this week?

This one-shot kicks off a crossover with Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble all written by Kelly Sue DeConnick.

Carol Danvers was soaring as the new Captain Marvel until she was grounded by a mysterious medical condition.

Now Carol is being haunted by visions of her past but are the threats real or just in her head? Spider-Woman may be the only person who can help her. I really loved how DeConnick wrote the interaction between Carol and Jessica Drew with the enemies that could be real or just phantoms in the Captain’s brain!

There’s no guarantee but I’m hoping Spider-Woman and Captain Marvel may appear on the big screen in a future Avengers movie. Scott Hepburn has a cool style that reminds me of Joe Madureira and Skottie Young. This crossover kicked off with a strong start, action and great development between two of Marvel’s most iconic female heroes.

Comic book writer Kelly Sue DeConnick will appear at GeekGirlCon 2013 celebrating contributions of women to geek culture in comics, science, gaming, film and more.
