However, last year about this time was a busy period for Melissa and I at When Fangirls Attack. I would say that last Spring was the time the “Feminist Comics Blogosphere” was fully realized as a community in its own right. Its really all Mr. Larsen’s fault. Starting with his assertation that the appeal of Power Girl and Phantom Lady was entirely contained within their flimsy bras, he wrote three columns that managed to collectively enrage 90% of the female population of the online comics community. To be fair, Larsen is an artist and not a wordsmith, but the fact that he’s a high-ranking bigwig at the 4th largest publisher and spewing such sexism was more than many readers could bear. There is much ranting and raging all through the month of May, as each column written by Larsen that mentions the topic manages to dig him a deeper hole. Towards the end of May, X-3 hit the theaters to the horror of feminist Jean Grey, Rogue, Storm, and Magneto fans. Two days later we learned about the sensational character find of 2006: Lesbian Batwoman! Kevin followed her trail across the mainstream global media right here as I followed her across the blogosphere for WFA. On the heels of Lesbian Batwoman, Girl-Wonder.org (which had been organizing through the entire Larsen debacle) officially launched their plan for fangirl world domination, Step One of which involved burying the Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics in a swarm of fan letters. We can probably gather that he was very surprised to learn that Stephanie Brown, the object of these letters, had so many fans.
