Whiteness and maleness are often seen as universal, while other identities are “particular” and supposedly less identifiable. Here, Superman’s story is universal for the same reason Lan-Shin’s is: because it resonates with many different experiences of difference. 12/12

Yang & Gurihiru also add emotional depth to the original version by forcefully centering the unique perspectives of the Lee family and drawing historically & culturally informed parallels between Superman’s alien identity and, in particular, Lan-Shin/Roberta Lee’s identity. 4/9

Hellcat and Tigra’s lengthy histories don’t directly impact the main plot of “She-Hulk.” But for attuned readers, bringing these three women together, and seeing them support each other, evokes a rich, if complicated, feminist history—and plenty of feminist potential. 9/9

I’m reading portrait of a their by Grace D. Li 🙂

I really appreciate it, especially when it’s end of term.
