Jenna Busch, known for her work on Cocktails with Stan, Geeknation, Fan Voice, IGN, Attack of the Show, TableTop, Girl Meets Lightsaber, Crave, Insider Horror, the upcoming The Pretender graphic novel series, and yes, even more, is the special guest this week on Nerd Alert! She talks about Legion of Leia, the site she founded with women who love sci-fi in mind!
Today we discuss the newly released Spider-Woman #1 variant cover by Milo Manara. Butts are not a bad thing. Spider-woman returning is definitely not a bad thing. But this cover is not a step in a good direction, particularly for Marvel, a company that has been attempting to show it was mindful of both female characters and female readers. How does this cover fall between the lines of sexuality and sexualization? Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Jenna Busch (Writer, Host, Founder of Legion of Leia) discuss!
