**Reposted from the ML Archives** While Marvel Comics was the first to take advantage of zombies’ growing popularity by zombifying some of their most beloved heroes in Marvel Zombies, DC has now joined the fetid flesh party with Blackest Night.

I haven’t read a lot of Wonder Woman before. DC and Justice League always struck me as a major boy’s club, which typically played in line with normal gender roles I learned growing up. I had Wonder Woman underoos, but never really investigated who the character was outside of the token female sidekick to Batman […]
