This article was brought to my attention by blogger Catwoman over at Hardcore Nerdity. It’s a brief interview with Joe Quesada about the new Marvel title, “Marvel Divas” which Mr. Quesada is touting as a title for women. Does this… look like it’s the cover for a title aimed at women?

He describes it as very Redwall-esque, only with mice and weasels as the only sentient characters. Other animals are still animals. However, I haven’t gotten around… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #79 – Review of Mouse Guard rpg.
