Yes, you all should be reading FF (not to be confused with Fantastic Four). It's amazing and heartfelt and hilarious. Very different from Hickman's run (though it uses many of his characters), but a worthy scucessor.  Also it has She-Hulk, and I've always liked She-Hulk. Well, ever since Dan Slott's run, anyway.

I am extremely shocked that Emilia Clarke was not included in this photoshoot. Personally, Daenerys Targaryen is my favorite character and one of the best reasons to tune into the show.

It's probably because she's in the US right now starring in Breakfast at Tiffany's on Broadway. She couldn't very well fly back to the UK just for a photoshoot.

Apologies for the error in terminology: "Transgender," not "Transgendered."

Unfortunately editing the title of the post would screw with the URL.

No disrespect meant!

Actually DC have had a few transgender characters in the past, like in the Invisibles and The Sandman, though these were mostly through the vertical line. Also, Sir Ystin in Demon Knights is apparently supposed to be transgender (supposed to be because it's really bloody confusing, but the writer Cornell views Ystin as transgender) so I don't think Alysia is really the first "mainstream" transgender character, Simone just called her the first "capes and tights" transgender character.

Don't mean to be an ass, just trying to ensure credit given where credit's due.
