Fantastic Fangirls in Grok!
Our good friends over at Alert Nerd put out a semi-regular pop culture ‘zine called Grok, and this month they’ve released Issue #6.
While Grok is ALWAYS a great read, this time it’s especially great, since three of your very own Fantastic Fangirls have featured articles, all of which touch on comics in some way.
In the first, An Open Letter to the Total Stranger Who Scolded Me About Political Awareness on Facebook, Caroline writes a letter that’s just as much about Batman as it is about politics and social media.
In the second, Strong at the Broken Places, Anika discusses her identification with fictional characters, including Carol Danvers.
And in the third, Avatars, Cultural Appropriation, and Chris Claremont’s GeNext, Jennifer shares her thoughts on the use of Hinduism in comic book plots.
So be sure to head over there and download the PDF, in which you’ll find these three articles and a ton of great fiction, comics, humor, and musings from the rest of the awesome contributors.
Yay! Looking forward to reading all of your stuff!
Congrats to all involved!
(As a fellow contributor, I have to say I feel in very good company.
