Neil Gaiman ang tigra

Got to meet Neil Gaiman today.  Not only the best writer comics has EVER seen but also one of the genuinely nicest persons you'll ever meet, specially considering his stature and accomplishments. He spent hours signing and talking to people, something that I know is quite taxing.  Amazing person. It was really a treat and thanks to Jaime of fullybooked for the oppurtunity.  


On Tigra.  I know New Avengers 35 was quite shocking to a lot of people specifically the scenes with Tigra and the Hood.  Many people thought we were too brutal in portraying violence against a woman.  
I don't look at tigra as a woman, a superheroine or a hero lady.  Tigra is a superhero in the same category as Capt. America and Wolverine. Superheroes get beat up and I think in the end, treating her as any other real superhero rather than be condescending was the right thing to do if we are to promote equality among sexes.   I was approached by a female reader today with that subject in mind and I'm glad she agreed with me.  Tigra will get her chance to show the Hood what she's made of  

See you guys in the next update. cheers.
