Amplify the voices of marginalised people discussing issues within your community. Intercede when a peer is responding in a hostile fashion towards those discussions. Set a standard for public and communal discourse. Do not tolerate the dismissal or disrespect of your marginalised colleagues. Do not tolerate the dismissal or disrespect of marginalised strangers. And in every environment, no matter how uncomfortable: hold the line.”   comics, comicsgate, podcast

Hey there lovely ACC-tion heroes! On this episode of ACC, Today we’re going to explode the the myth dismantling the idea that super/cape books are shallow. We find the feels from each age: Starting the Silver Age, travel through the Bronze Age, find some gems in the Pockets/Bandoleer/Dark age, and delve into some modern books.   Hannah brought this topic up due to an issue of Daredevil, wherein we learn (spoiler!) that Sister Maggie left Matt and Jack Murdock due to postpartum depression (part one and two.)   (Editor's note:  We also talked about this in our love letter episode, and I wrote up a blog piece for it.) What cape/super-hero books do you read that destroy this myth? You should totally let us know on Twitter, Facebook, or even email us!
