Supergirl Reinvented
July 16th 2007 -
Interview with Tony Bedard over at Sequential Tart.
I’m stoked about this. Supergirl is one of those characters that I’ve always wanted to like, but I’ve been put off by Kara’s missing ribs and that crotch-length fluttery thing that I think is a skirt?
My favorite part of the interview:
But the point of the book isn’t how she looks in her skirt. It’s that growing up and finding your role in the world is hard to do, but that making the right choices is ultimately the most rewarding thing to do.
Wait a minute, back up here! Did he just say…that how a female character looks doesn’t matter? And that maybe, just maybe…the things she says and does and thinks matter more? Zoh. My. God. No way.

I am *absurdly* psyched about Bedard on Supergirl. It’s never been a series that much interested me, but between Bedard’s writing and Guedes’s awesome-beyond-words art (OMG! There’s room for organs! She’s wearing shorts! She *looks* like a teenager!) I think I’m going to have to start picking it up.
