“And then, in 2010, Marvel Comics presented a Spider-Man (the ‘Ultimate’ version) who was 13 years old and brown. To see Spider-Man pulling his mask over a tiny brown chin – to see a boy with short curly hair sticking to the ceiling of his bedroom— well, something happened. Dagim has been Spider-Man for two Halloweens in a row. He takes a bath with his Spider-Man and a toy killer whale. He has Spider-Man toothpaste and a Spider-Man toothbrush. If Spider-Man offered medical coverage, I think he would want that, too.
………….
I thought for a while that my son would never be interested in my comics. I was afraid they would just represent another club he couldn’t join: all those big-jawed white guys with their hair parted to the side. But thanks to Spider-Man, my son imagines himself jumping on giant robots and saving the city. I hear him doing that behind the door of his room.”

- NY Times: A Superhero Who Looks Like My Son (via fyeahlilbit2point0)

Yes. This.

(via youneedtolookatthis)

I got to meet Miles at a convention last summer. Not some kid in a costume. But Miles.

There’s this kid at our booth. I’d guess around 11 years old. He had been by the booth solo a couple times already. This time he had an adult.

“This one dad. This is the new Spider-Man.”
“Uh, huh.” his dad was singularly unimpressed with Spidey.
“No dad see,” and he points to one where Miles has the mask off, “He’s half black and half Mexican.” the kid is just beaming.
Dad starts to smile. This is about when a lady walks up, she puts her arm around dad and the kid says hi to mom.

Here’s the thing. This kid’s dad is Hispanic and mom is black. Miles was literally showing him he could be Spider-Man.

This isn’t me wanting to grow up and be Storm. This isn’t me wanting to be Captain America. Those are characters that are like me, kind of. But I have tons of characters that are “just like me”. That’s my white girl privilege.

Miles, beyond being a super awesome Spider-Man is a super awesome role model. This is a character that says, you exist AND you can be a hero.

Miles is the reason I am so passionate about representation in comics. Because I saw that little boy’s face and the pride in having himself matter enough, his family matters enough, to be shown in comics.

The kid and I had a lovely chat about Miles and how awesome he was. His dad asked for info on the comics so he could try & find the back issues for his son. It is pretty much my best memory of that convention.

I started reading Miles because I was interested in a different take on Spidey. I kept reading because Miles is AWESOME. I will continue reading so that kid keeps being able to see himself in the pages of a comic.

Posting the old page made me nostalgic — decided to do some new sketches of my old characters.

http://crankyoctopus.com/acrobat

(Cranky Octopus isn’t the comic’s original home, so the dates posted aren’t the dates it was drawn.)

It’s funny, it’s not the comic itself I miss, but more the process of making it. The writing and art are mediocre — If I were to go back and edit it now, I’d throw out the scalpel and go in with c4 — but it was still my teenage comic. I’m not crying. Shutup.

The Last of us is out this week! Here’s a repost of my drawing from last e3 because HYPE.

I should also mention that this version of the illustration has a lot of color editing for atmosphere reasons. A more saturated, less green version of the drawing can be seen here > http://literacysuks1.deviantart.com/art/The-Last-of-Us-colors-326520716

My art used to be so kawaii, you guys. Now it’s all murder and hookers and flaming apocalypses. What went wrong?

Incidentally, it’s funny how good this looks relative to my skill level at the time — 2009, I guess? I was drawing everything either straight on or isometrically to avoid thinking in three dimensions. Made things easier, but I’m glad I’ve leveled up.

God, I love style over substance movies. Down with dialogue, up with long, panning close up shots of things. I really need to make some comics that reflect that taste.

—I’m not sure if you’re aware, but at the press screening this morning, there was a smattering of boos and some walkouts.
—Oh, cool.

—You’re excited about that?
—I mean, how can I expect someone to not react like this when on one hand you are dropping what you do in everyone’s face and at the same time saying, “Love me, please,” you know? You’re going to get that. You know, great art — horrible thing to say — but art is meant to divide, because if it doesn’t divide, it doesn’t penetrate, and if it doesn’t penetrate, you just consume it.

“Oh, cool.”
