If you went solely by listening to us, you'd be forgiven for thinking that comics were just about punching things and crying in cupboards. Not so! That would be ridiculous.

Podcast Episode 7 - Women and Comics

The whole monolithic business of comics hasn't been especially great to women historically, and in recent weeks there's been a flare up of tone deaf and flat-out stupid anti-woman statements from some of the biggest names in comics. What can we do? Have a bloody good moan, as it turns out. We also look over some recent releases.

Covered this week:

• Chew
• Hawkeye
• Young Avengers
• Six-Gun Gorilla
• East of West
• Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Grey
• Sailor Twain
• Yes Hive Overlord
• Sex Criminals
• Chip Zdarsky's Watchmen 2 Treatment (NSFW or anywhere else)
