Musings and Mutterings

Girl-Wonder.org is a collection of sites dedicated to females in mainstream comics. Our goals are to foster an attentive, empowered audience community and to encourage respect and high-quality character depiction within the industry.

The mascot for the site is Stephanie Brown, a recent example of this genre's shameful mistreatment of women characters. Her fate is symbolic of much larger problems facing the superhero genre.

Project Girl Wonder explores Stephanie's story and how it relates to misogyny in mainstream comics.

Interesting. There is a site for everything. I haven't had a chance to check this site out, but what brought me there was an article entitled Comparative Sex-Specific Body Mass Index in the Marvel Universe and the "Real" World that compares the BMI of Marvel characters to real-world people.
