Hello Handsomites! Eric and Robbie are talking about the Eisner award-winning The Adventures of Superhero Girl by Faith Erin Hicks! They discuss the juxtaposition of the nostalgic trappings of superhero comics with the progressive story of a young female superhero, the real life context of the feminist issues in nerd culture, and how gosh darn fun it is. They talk about the week’s hottest books, including Batgirl #35 and Axis #1!
