Faith

"My friend, whom we’ll call Ariel, was so excited about Faith because she said there was finally someone who looked like her. She felt like Faith represented her and was just a superhero, and you don’t really get many zaftig ladies getting to save the world while having nice hair and a day job doin’ the thing. I know people talk about representation a lot, and then other people make weird faces because they’re total a-holes, but sometimes it’s nice to see yourself and this felt like quite a leap."

ok but what about the COMIC. Not the character. the COMIC.

I liked it so I'll give an opinion.

It's a comic about a character that really wants to be a hero despite all the shit she's gone through to get there. Barring the Hillary short, not written by the person that regularly writes the comic, It doesn't try to preach to you about tolerance or whatever. The art wildly fluctuates between bretty good to hot garbage though.

It's only a few issues so if you're really curious It's online in a few places. Just skip the Hillary story (part of issue 6) for the love of god.

a way to say BBW/full-figured while sounding like you've said something cosmopolitan and highbrow instead of "I'm fat. "

It's nice seeing someone like you in media. It doesn't connect with white guys,or regular girls/ pretty girls because they're everywhere. I don't want any white guy to apologize, pander and/or destroy their artistic integrity to make minorities actual main protags, but it's hard to even grasp this concept when you're a white male.

Misspelled version of the German word 'saftig' (juicy) used by hipsters as a pretentious way to say BBW/fat.

Agreed, an entire list of virtue signaling would be anathema to neo-/co/. Only way it could be less like neo-/co/ is if it prefaced each list with weasel qualifiers like "now some of you might call me an SJW for this", or "I'm sure this will make some of you upset, but..."

>Low-selling superhero books are often the most interesting, and that was certainly the case at Marvel Comics this year, where titles like [...] Chelsea Cain and Kate Niemczyk’s Mockingbird [...] produced the publisher’s best superhero stories. Socially conscious with a strong focus on the emotional lives of their leads, these three books address real-world issues surrounding [...] gender equality (Mockingbird) [...] and feature distinct creative visions that spotlight the potential for innovation in superhero stories.
Sigh.

When will an actual feminist call these fucking shills out already? Calling your shitty book "feminist" doesn't magically make it a good innovative socially conscious book addressing gender equality. There IS a lot of potential to explore social themes in comics, but slapping the "feminist" label on a superficial, flawed book isn't the way to do it.

The superhero entries are just bait to get readers.

The serious contenders for "best comics" are all the non-superhero suggestions.
