The series also got Liu nominated for a GLAAD Media Award "for outstanding media images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community." That's right, she was the writer on that famous (at least in the comic book community) wedding between Northstar and his boo, the first ever LGBT wedding in Marvel comics history! In a genre where character development and relationships can fall by the wayside in favor of kitschy hero plots and explosions, Liu is a rare gem of writerly brilliance. In Astonishing X-Men she puts together one of the coolest X-Men teams ever, including a relatively new character Warbird, an alien warrior whose love of art was a taboo in her war-driven Shi’ar society. Her stints on X-23 and Astonishing X-Men lent amazing depth to characters long neglected or sidelined by Marvel. Marjorie Liu is one of the best comics writers out, and it’s surprising that she’s not better known. These are the books, both fiction and non-fiction, that every nerd would get a kick out of, whether for the complicated concepts that get your brain going, or just to laugh along as you recognize your own nerdy tendencies in the lead character’s nerdtastic mannerisms. But every nerd ought to branch out, or just take the occasional breather from programming your PlayStation controller to turn on all the lights in your house and read books by and about other nerds. Whether you’re a nerd for books, brains, space travel, or Boolen algebra, the one thing all nerds have in common is a love for learning, problems, and, just generally what I like to call “brain food.” That’s the thing with nerds, they’re all probably already reading heavily and relentlessly in their fields of interest. You know, those of us who’d rather read than… well, pretty much anything else, or those whose eyes light up at a mathematical problem as if it were a giant piece of cake. It helps that many books are pretty much by and for nerds. 9 Buy Now on Amazon: > Click Here << This might not look nerdy but by clicking on the image link you will see that it definitely is with other metal artwork bookends such as the word geek, nerd and REDRUM they are definitely nerdy and definitely well worth looking at.
'Suck it up, man, we're not coddling you, take care of yourself, what's your problem?' It's jocks versus geeks, and I've always referred to life as perpetual high school because it never stops.There are all kinds of nerds - book nerds, computer nerds, history nerds, science nerds, space nerds, sci-fi nerds, math nerds, even just plain nerd nerds - and the land of the literary has room for all of them.
I honestly see the battle between Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative as the exact same dynamic-there's a group of people in this world that don't like conflict and care about what other people are going through, and then there's this other group of people in the world who hate that.
