Response to Superheroes Are Kinda Gay

This is a response to @angelmanson's video's, "Superheroes are kinda gay." I disagree with much of their essay which I find superficial and also misinformed about comics and superheroes. Manson argues that superhero secret identities are like being in the closet and that superhero costumes are like being in drags. This has nothing to do with how superheroes were created with colourful costumes and the symbolic origin of secret identities. When I recorded the video I had not checked Manson's full profile and thus did not know that they used a particular pronoun. I did not record the video a second time, but did attempt to correct any pronoun mistakes in the video. Any omission is unintended. Please do not mock nor harass @angerlmanson.

Steve Englehart part 4: DC vs. Marvel

As a novice comic book writer in the early 1970’s, Steve Englehart was thrilled to work on some of Marvel’s most popular characters.

As a completely original creation, they both receive compensation whenever Killowog is featured in films or video games. But Guy...   More

     Here’s a story. Singer and composer Janis Joplin had a knack for telling stories as she sang. They never were the same, much like comics. Each song was a work of art, chord after chord, like a series of panels on a page, telling a story step after step. When she repeated a chord, like a comic panel, it was to strengthen a story, playing with pauses, and repetitions.

The story of comics, no matter what the naysayers claim, is not over. ComicBookBin intends on continuing telling that story for years to come, with its own unique chords.
