Erin knits, nerds, exists

Thank You! I had so much fun being Cap. I get to bring it out again in a couple weeks and I cannot wait. I don’t need people to love the Cap movie like I did, just to see it because it ties EVERYTHING ELSE together, except maybe Thor, actually.

Yeah, I agree everyone should at least see it. I don’t understand how people can just skip any of the big 3, meaning Iron Man, Cap., or Thor… I will admit I haven’t seen Hulk.

I’m kind of ashamed at all the levels of nerd I’m not. Like I feel I need to immerse myself in comics and such this summer because I’m not well-versed in them at all.

Reblogging because I think this will get long.

I’m biased because I worked for the House of Ideas back when Hulk was half of the Marvel Movie universe, but The Incredible Hulk is really good. What the movie lacks, IMO, is that blend of drama, action, and, most importantly, humor that the other films do so well. The formula came from Iron Man, which filmed concurrently with The Incredible Hulk, so TIH didn’t benefit from knowing what worked and what didn’t. Hulk is also a more inherently tragic character, so while it’s possible to do humor with Hulk it’s not as apparent as it is with a character like Iron Man.

Anyway, I’m not nerdy about a whole lot of things. It never bugs me because I’m sure I’ll get to them when the time is right. If you genuinely are intrigued by comics I can let loose a raging stream of recommendations, because I picked up comics fairly recently… although I guess at this point it’s 6 years ago… wow.

This is most of the things I like about comics in one place.

Agreed.

March 8 2012 is International Women’s Day, and this year’s theme is “Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures”.

Over the past year, I found myself forming friendships and a connection with other girls who share the same love for comic book characters (yes females DO read comics too!) as I do.

Each one of these ladies have also inspired me one way or another.

WIR! (huh) What is it good for?

(A surprising number of things, actually)

My post for the Women Write About Comics blog carnival.

Thanks for reading guys. :) 

I’m currently putting together an animated film based on this. If you play ukulele and you wanna help me by sending me reference footage of you playing uke, email me at kitswilkins@gmail.com :)

FINALLY IT HAS BEEN REVEALED!  My next project: DRACULA THE UNCONQUERED! 

An all-new, all-digital comic book series by me, Steve Downer and Josh Krach.  Each issue features 24 full-color pages of story as Dracula and his new assistant, Thalia, travel the world on an adventure into the heart of horror! 

Please, please spread the word.  The first issue drops on Halloween at DraculaTheUnconquered.com!

This project has the Benito seal of approval.

It has chicks in bowler hats, a concept that someone (:cough: Scott Westerfeld :cough:) has ingrained in my head as the height of awesomeness.

The DC Reboot has me angry, so I decided to get moving. Making a jokey motivational poster won’t do much good, but breaking into the comics industry sooner than I’d like might. We’ll see what I can do.

I wanted to pick one panel from DOROTHY AND THE WIZARD IN OZ #1 to post, but I just couldn’t. So I picked five. Five great reasons to pick up the issue by Eric Shanower and Skottie Young, which goes on sale September 28, 2011.

And you should also read our latest Psych Ward article about the Wizard of Oz, written by Tim Stevens, “a Psy D candidate and practicum trainee at a community mental health facility and has experience in working with individuals dealing with PTSD.”

Also, I now want a book about cats written and drawn by Skottie. Like, a 250 page adventure story.

OOOOOOOOZZZZZZ!!!! OZ! It’s my favorite thing. Now and forever. I own every issue, most of them in three formats (floppy, hardcover and softcover)

Not the point, DC

Not the point at all.

Starfire’s depiction wasn’t inappropriate for children, it was inappropriate for humans.

One of the better things I’ve seen today.

Now, somebody get me a cat.

My dear sleuth of a kitty once managed to stretch out over four comic books as once. As in she lay down on each one, I would start a different one and she would then lay down on that too. It’s just a small part of why she was the best kitty ever.
