I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

Where should new fans of Sharon, well I say new but I've loved her since she first appeared in the MCU. What I should be asking is, what comic books would you recommend for us to read to get to know Sharon better? What are some of the best ones?

I've never read a Marcel comic book and don't half a clue about them.

well then luckily for you, yoyve come to the right place because i JUST put this list together on my tiktok and have it prepared.

most of early comics sharon's story isn't " canon " anymore ( her being peggy's sister, shields first female agent, etc ) but there's some gems in those old stories so i'm gonna start the list there :

- tales of suspense ( 1959 ) / issues 75 - 99 | don't worry about reading any of the EARLY cap vol1 unless you want to. this is really all you need to understand how her character was written in the 60s. it was a lot of cheesy romance, kinda soap opera - esque drama between the characters, etc. cap stories are known for their dramatics ( tbh you don't even really have to read her " death " bc it wasn't really a death anyways and you learn more abt it later than you do when it actually happened ).

- captain america ( 1968 ) / issues 445 - 454 | the start of mark waid's era, bringing her back from the dead. you'll hear from a lot of sharon fans that marm waid wrote their favourite sharon era from the writing, to the arc, to the artwork. tbph, if you started hear and skipped the early stuff, you'd probably be fine. you might be a bit irritated by her at first ( she's a very angry, polarizing character here ), but she'll grow on you.

- fury and agent 13 | 2 issue run that you won't find on marvel unlimited. technically doesn't happen until like issue 4 of vol3, but it doesn't really hurt to read it ahead of reading vol3 either.

- captain america ( 1998 ) | one of, if not the best, cap run to date. the run that ended mark waid's era and is ultimately a fantastic story through and through for every character in it.

- captain america ( 2004 ), civil war, captain america : reborn & who will wield the shield | the beginning of ed brubaker's era. another one of those writer eras that people agree is sharon's ( and steve's for that matter ) best. it's a bit more gritty than most cap comics, so if you do read it, prepare for the shift, but that was in preparation for civil war. quite frankly, as much as i love civil war, it's a long story and...it can be hard to get through the registration garbage. most characters are OOC and insufferable and honestly reading the 2004 run - tie ins & and an overview of the event itself, is probably just easiest. reborn and wwwts come after.

- the secret avengers ( 2010 ) / issues 1 - 18 | not much character development per say, but it's good run for stevesharon mush.

- captain america ( 2011 ) & captain america ( 2013 ) | both runs debatable in character development for sharon. they have a bit, but are obviously more focused on steve. 2013 run is important for her story going forward but that necessarily mean it's GOOD for her character & is regarded as a pretty weak cap run. an overview of both might suffice honestly.

- read an overview of secret empire. don't torture yourself.

- captain america ( 2018 ) | fantastic run that's HEAVY on sharon's side of the story. really tackles how she handles the aftermath of secret empire, her depleting youth, etc. ( also has peggy moments if you're into that but...quite frankly if you like her from the mcu, then honestly reading her in comics might frustrate you because she is...insufferable, to put it gently. )

and there you go! after that is coming the newest cap run, coming out this year, but i can't say anything on how that will handle her yet.

I think one thing that a lot of Addams Family fans forget is that for the family, goth wasn’t about being gloomy and sad or bitter and cynical at all. Morticia was always gazing out at rainy days and declaring, “how beautiful a day it is!” or saying that “black is so much more cheerful!” because they found joy in their dark aesthetic. Wednesday was curious and sharp-minded and very clearly exercised and expressed her personal sense of power and self through things like her interest in weaponry and true crime - in the original series and comics, she was always dancing and playing with her brother. Edgy Wednesday didn’t happen until the 90s reboot, and well, it was the 90s. Gloomy grunge and artful sadness were in at the time. And let’s not even talk about Gomez, who was so full of life and love for his family that he’d often break into song or dip Morticia in the kitchen for an old-fashioned kiss. The Addams worked so well because they were healthy, happy, loving and goth. They were a perfect example of indulging in an aesthetic without letting it become toxic or consuming their lives.
