Comments on: Heroes: Chicks Read Comics, Dumbass http://www.pinkraygun.com/2009/02/17/heroes-chicks-read-comics-dumbass/ "While what? I watch helplessly from the sidelines? I don't think so." - Helen, The Incredibles Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:51:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Angela http://www.pinkraygun.com/2009/02/17/heroes-chicks-read-comics-dumbass/comment-page-1/#comment-30987 Angela Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:53:10 +0000 http://www.pinkraygun.com/?p=5582#comment-30987 Can I just say that I manage a comic book shop, and people are always amazed to see me behind the counter. After about a year, people are getting used to it, but I still get new guys saying things like "does your husband own this place?" and "you don't actually read this stuff do you?" So that scene totally drove me nuts. Can I just say that I manage a comic book shop, and people are always amazed to see me behind the counter.

Right here. Hi. I don't know about "hot", but I have been accused of cuteness in the past. Anyway, it's good to see the good guys being proactive again. I was pretty tickled that the slash-your-own-hand-open trick worked better for Claire than it usually did for the immortals on <i>Highlander</i>. At least it got the recipient to run away in a productive manner. Plus, she's continuing that whole standing-up-to-her-dad(s) thing she started last week. The only thing that continues to disappoint is the Hiro/Ando jealousy storyline. They're two grown (at least biologically) men. Why can't they acknowledge that they have complementary skills and be on their merry way? But even that situation looks like it might be resolving itself. P.S. Yeah, <i>Dresden Files</i>! I'm trying to be good and wait for the trades, but May seems so far away right now. ::pout:: Here's another chick who reads comics. Right here. Hi.

Another favorite conversation for me was the one about whether or not Sylar was a serial killer! Also, I read comics and I'm a woman. Loved your post and yes about that favorite line.

Maybe Nathan Fillion? Or that guy from Life on Mars (I don’t know who he is, but he is hot)? Probably not. And you know what? I don’t hold that against you. I don’t expect you to live up to an unrealistic ideal." AMEN! If I had a hot actress buying my comics for me, yeah, I'd probably have Jessica Alba do it. As she's not available, the fanboys will have to put up with my normal-looking ass! "And really, are you a dead ringer for Tahmoh Penikett on your end of the keyboard? Maybe Nathan Fillion?
