Jane Foster: Valkyrie #1 - "The Sacred and the Profane, Part I"

[laughing_tree]

It'd be nice if there was someone there for you, when the time came. Someone who could take your hand and show you what's next -- maybe take you into it. Someone who was a little like a doctor. Someone who was a little like a super hero. Someone who would stand up for you and fight in your corner whether you were alive or dead or somewhere in between. -- Al Ewing

Repost: Spotlight on Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi

[ozaline]

A long time back I posted a spotlight on Fushigi Yuugi's Nuriko. Just recently found out that Yuu Watase came out as X-gender earlier this year (https://twitter.com/joseinextdoor/status/1164697317041168384?s=19 https://twitter.com/wataseyuu_/status/1130461270358908928). So I think let's take another look at Nuriko.





This is a little spotlight on Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi, with some major spoilers

When introduced she's part of the ignored harem of the Emperor of Konan, and she's deeply in love with and devoted to the Emperor. She is also one of the seven chosen guardians for the Priestess of Suzaku (as is the Emperor), and she has the gift of super human strength. We later discover she's Assigned Male at Birth... And the characters after this point vary in how they treat her.

Presented here are some early scenes dealing with her outing... the reason behind her feminine presentation, and her ultimate fate... warning for some homophobic, and transmisogynistic content.

Vampirella #1 (2019) - "Secuction of the Innocent, Book 1: Yellow Brick Road"

[laughing_tree]

Mark Waid may well be the very best at what he does. I’m so in awe of Dan Slott, I literally, not kidding, considered retiring after he spent a long dinner telling me the long history of his outstanding Spider-Man run. I just looked at him, “Dude, I quit. Never in life would I have thought of The Superior Spider-Man.” Please don’t get carried away with your thumbs, “Priest Bashes Other Writers,” it’s not true. But this is what *I* do: take the Justice League and crash-land their satellite in the middle of The Sudan’s civil war. Screw around with Damian Wayne’s DNA results. This is what interests me: taking a very hard look at these characters in the context of the world we actually live in. That’s what Netflix Marvel is about, and I openly wondered what a Netflix Vampirella series might be like. Now, what would a Netflix Vampirella series be like if Lena Dunham produced it. Add villains and stir. -- Christopher J. Priest
