Comics For All started out as a blog intended to help navigate parents, teachers and newcomers-to-comics navigate what Marvel had to offer. From there, it sort of became an occasional commentary on comics and their accessibility in general.

But even in the less-than-a-year since I started the blog, a tremendous variety of resources have been cropping up everywhere that address those topics more thoroughly and regularly than I’m in a position to do. I think this is awesome. In fact, I think it is so awesome that I’m going to leave it to others to address those topics for right now.

My husband and I are about to become parents soon, and as such, I’ve been giving lots of consideration to my priorities over the next couple of months before the baby arrives. I understand that as an expectant woman, I can get away with a lot of things. Rather than testing that theory by, say, punching strangers in the face*, I’d rather use that advantage and my remaining time here in the office toward blogging not about a specific theme, but about whatever happens to strike my fancy, with whatever frequency I have something to say.

I hope that you find it interesting.

*But thank you for the suggestion, Reilly Brown.

This may not entirely be appropriate for this
As of virtually two months ago, an author of a forum thread on Marvel's boards came up with the idea of having a course that teaches everything about comics. From their impact on society, to their very making. Below is the link to the author's thread.

sound advice
Reilly Brown sounds like he knows what he's talking about, Nicole. I'd listen to him. :P

I think trying to solely blog about one specific subject can lead to apathy from both readers and the writer. It takes a lot of dedication to go over variation of a theme and still make it interesting each time, and since as you said there are other resources out there, I personally feel you should be allowed to post just about anything you want, pregnant or not.

But either way congrats and best of luck!
