every copy of SEX CRIMINALS #11 ships in a sealed bag. at first we were going to put a thousand dollars in some random issue, but it turns out that’s super illegal. so we printed 1000 special blank-ish covers and spent today at cadmus in richmond VA drawing dicks and stuff on 1000 comic books. they will be randomly mixed in with the rest of the print run and should be, to the best of our and cadmus’ abilities to make such things happen, impossible to find without opening them. it costs $3.50. we cannot procure you any; we cannot tell you how to get them. if you want one, buy a copy of SC #11 and you’ve got something like a 1 in 35 chance give or take.

(there is a special XXX cover that was printed-to-order; it too ships in a sealed bag [because the cover is, as advertised, XXX] but that costs $4.69 [get it])

Dr. Lepore’s Lament

So I was the last person on the internet to find out about this little op-ed by Jill Lepore. When Harvard professors are throwing shade on you from the rarified heights of the New Yorker, you have officially arrived in life, or at least in comics. So I was rather chuffed by this piece, though I do want to respond to some of the points raised, because they tie into some of the broader conversations we’ve been having lately in the comics community. I’d like to give a shout-out to Valkyrie Leia Calderon for drawing my attention to this piece–you can read her thoughtful and candid open letter to Dr. Lepore here.

If you are an avid comic book reader and/or follower of industry trends, none of what I’m about to say will be news to you. However, for those of you who are new to the medium, returning to the medium, or just interested in the continuing debate on the role of gender in pop culture, I hope what follows will be useful and help flesh out the conversation.

First off, a funny tidbit: Dr. Lepore and I have met, though she probably doesn’t remember, as I was a scrappy teenager with a fauxhawk at the time. Way back when I was an undergraduate, she gave a guest lecture on the French and Indian Wars in an American History colloquium I was taking at Boston University. She struck me as very intelligent and thoughtful, a passionate historian.

So I was a bit surprised that someone who obviously values rigorous scholarship would analyze the first issue of a crossover event without any apparent knowledge of what a crossover event is, or what the heavily tongue-in-cheek “feminist paradise,” Arcadia, represents in the context of the Secret Wars and the wider Marvel Universe. (Does she know about the zombies? Somebody please tell her about the zombies.) Thus decontextualized, what Dr. Lepore is left with is a cover depicting a bunch of characters about whom she admits to knowing nothing, and one fifth of a story, which is perhaps why her analysis reads as so perplexingly shallow, even snarky.

Loki: Shhh. Do you hear that? That's the sound of forgiveness.
