Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Image
I know this is an older campaign, but it's still very relevant to the world we are living in today. It's considered to be one of the largest pep rally in the world lending not only to the mission of "creating awareness", but also lending support and strength to those who have bravely fought against the ravaging breast cancer disease. As Wonder Woman so directly illustrates, we need all women to make regular appointments and take responsibilities for their own health. Together we can find a cure. Together we can raise hope for those battling it right now.

Character Study: What does Wonder Woman Bring to the Team?

Other than being a one-woman wrecking crew, throughout the history of the Justice League saga, Wonder Woman has continued to be a valuable member of the team. In present day lore, she's considered to be one of the founding members. But just as team members come and go (sometimes even create factions within the groups), lets examine the potential of what Wonder Woman brings to her Justice League team in DC comics. I am not a sociologist, but I will give this a try. The first observation that is made should address the fact that she is sometimes in the female minority demographic. There have been only a few women regularly included in the DC's Justice League (3 by my count.) So, we know she's looking at situations with a different point of view than her male teammates. In battle does she look for innocents to rescue first before battling bad guys? With all the male bravado, Wonder Woman is the first to seek compassion. In a similar line, Wonder Woman may act as a calmin...

The Origins of Princess Diana of Themyscira, a.k.a. Wonder Woman is a literary study of a female who brings with her the interminable strength of womanhood and the burden of a culture of her civilization. Even though she is endowed with the power of the ancient gods, her greatest power is the depths of her love and respect for everything in the world. Diana's origins in the 1940's put her into a role of establishing a new identity for women everywhere. Diana is strong, independent, and possesses a peaceful demeanor which offsets a fierce combativeness. Diana's breaking the boundary bonds of domestication and balances the battle of female equality is what makes her likable. Through Wonder Woman's origins we are introduced to an alegory of a woman who was sent as an emissary with the understanding that she can change the outside world. She's raised as a royal princess with all the hierarchy raised to believe that her limitless abilities are equal to a man. But...

Patriotic Pairing: The Super-Powered Couple as It Should Be

It was a long time ago that I was first inspired by the possibilities to create a story script based on my favorite YouTube channel. He was mixing and matching the Marvel and DC universe and formed one of the greatest pairings in Harley Quinn and Green Goblin. It inspired me to start writing again on my own and hopefully become just as good as that person. Thus became the unpublished spin-off series that developed in my imagination and daydreams. I researched my pairing in popular fan-fiction websites as well as Google searching to see if anyone else in the fan fiction writing community had similar inspiration. I only saw a few mash up pictures, a YouTube video that mashed up the Lynda Carter and Matt Salinger roles , and quite a number of cosplay pictures. This unique pairing would only have to come from the fan fiction community - as both characters are owned by rival publishing companies. Captain America and Wonder Woman. I've studied relationships for a very long time and h...
