I'm going to go on record as expecting the new Captain Marvel to be terrible. And I'm going to say this: DC not reinventing Captain Marvel to match the version from Flashpoint is missing a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. I really, really liked the version from Flashpoint and the characterizations involved. For that matter, I loved the Jeff Smith version, too.
But I realize, in my heart, that DC doesn't want new readers, just lapsed ones. We'll see if that works in the next few months, now that the blush is off the rose, so to speak.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
