In reply to wererogue. You should read his run on Journey into Mystery. If you can avoid spoilers about the ending, all the better. It also sets up one of the characters in Young Avengers, but isn't necessary for reading YA.

In reply to wererogue. Phonogram is very good. Especially the new volume, The Singles Club. That's better than the initial volume, I think.

I haven’t read any of Gillen’s comic work – I’m still mourning his loss from the games journalism world. I’ll have to rectify that.

In reply to Alyson. They obviously do have a concept of gender roles. It's just that for a Skrull those roles are far more fluid and open to change than in our less developed and nuanced human gender.

In reply to Phoenix DK. I love the fact that other people have views on Skrulls' concept of gender.

In reply to Christian O..

The Skrulls have no notion of “queer” in any sense of the word usage. On panel it’s been described as “We change our gender as easy as you humans change your hair colour”. Their shapeshifting is such a part of their culture that gender roles and norms (by earth standards) don’t feature in their society.

…and there goes the geekiest thing I’ve written this week. :)

Plus, it should be noted that Skulls are themselves queer, as they’ve been shown to change gender at will.

Mckelvie and gillen: actively encouraging the fans and reblogging the fanart they find. And yelling a lot about shitty gender stereotypes and portrayals on twitter and tumblr.

Not to mention McKelvie is currently engaged in designing some of the best superhero costumes at the moment, taking over the cosplay world. (captain marvel & miss America)
