Goodbye (For Now)

I think it's pretty obvious (by now) that I don't post all that often. I've said it before and I'll say it again, life happens people! But to be brutally honest, I think I am going to be taking a break from Comic City Sirens. Okay, okay, I don't actually feel that way about this...

A Good Thing + A Good Thing

I think many people would agree with me that 2016 was a year that, quite frankly, should NOT be placed in the history books so we don't have to go through the effort of trying to remove it later on when we further realize what a PIECE OF GARBAGE that year was. BUT HEY, it's...

Who’s Right When They Write?

Being someone who is so fascinated with pop culture and the goings-on surrounding it, there's a question hat's been linger in my head for quite some time. When reading or watching something, and I find myself intrigued by the way a character is written (be it good or bad), I wonder who the writer is....

The Basics to A Well Written Female Character

You know what I love? Strong characters. (Willow Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) Have you ever read a book, or a comic, or even watched a movie and couldn't help but feel irked by a certain character? A lot of times, it is obvious when a character had little to no effort put into...

My Favorite Femme Fatales

Post Written by Contributor Dondre from From The Comic Strip And Beyond There are dozens, and I do mean dozens, of women in comic books. That might seems like an obvious statement (which it is), but I for one greatly appreciate women in comics. Specifically those in Marvel and DC Comics, because at the moment...

Where Are We? ( As Of Now)

A lot of times when I discuss something that people might describe as "overtly and annoyingly feminist", it's because people have a skewed perception of what feminism is. Like every group, there's a bad apple in each who are going to make a bad name/stereotype for others. But putting that aside, many people wonder what...

Why Representation In Media Matters

I know, I haven't posted regularly lately. One, sometimes life literally restrains you with a physical virus, and two, I am not perfect people!!! Also something really good is about to happen to Comic City Sirens and I've been focusing on that for the past few days. Onto the real content. When I was a...

Why I DON’T Believe Suicide Squad Should Have Won An Academy Award

  Sigh.... First off, I want to say congratulations to Giorgio Gregorini, Alessandro Bertolazzi and Christopher Allen Nelson for their Academy Award in best hair and makeup, for their work on Suicide Squad! I know, the title is probably making you scratch your head at this, dear reader, but they deserve congratulations nonetheless. This was...

Empire Magazine’s NEW Wonder Woman Information/Pictures!

I was perusing the digital shelves of the internet looking for news in the comic world when Chris Begley of Batman-News.com released an exciting little article that had me clicking with the vigorous interest of a madwoman. Last Thursday, February 23rd to be exact (that actually might not be exact, to be honest) Empire Magazine...

Let’s Talk About Bitch Planet

The term Bitch Planet could mean a lot of things. Maybe it's an alternate title of Justin Roiland's cartoon about a planet full of dogs. Or perhaps it's what you call your friend when she's a colossal bitch, like, the size of Jupiter. In this case we're talking about Kelly Sue DeConnick's comic about a...
