Spider Gwen wants you to be a hero.

Bullying strikes a very hot nerve for me. It makes me grit my teeth to this day. Bullying is never, NEVER, ok. No matter how insignificant it may seem, bullying can destroy people. I was lucky enough to survive the bullying I endured as a kid, but some people I knew were not so fortunate. Before I climb to high up on my soapbox, let me just remind you to think before you speak. If you can't say something nice, don't say it. If you can't do something nice, don't do it. Bullying has to stop.

Heroes like Spider Woman know this and do their part to help. Now it's your turn. If you see bullying, be a hero and do something to help stop it.

Pick this and 6 other stickers up at Carol and John's Comics.

Bullying Awareness-- Nightcrawler Edition!

Hi all, Mark here!

I'm a huge Nightcrawler fan, so for Bullying Awareness month, I drew Nightcrawler comforting a young boy.  Nightcrawler is arguably one of the compassionate X-Men, and despite his outcast status, he always treats others with kindness.  Growing up, I was a very awkward and very nerdy kid, so I know that bullying is a serious issue-- but it doesn't have to be.  Be a hero and do your part to prevent bullying!  A little kindness towards others goes a long way.

Stop by Carol & John's comic shop to get this sticker (and 6 additional stickers) to raise awareness for Bullying Awareness Month. 

Deadpool: Anti-hero/Anti-Bully

So, I love Deadpool.

A LOT of people love Deadpool for a MULTITUDE of reasons. But the reason I love Deadpool, the reason I think despite his antihero status he represents this sticker just as well as any Avenger, is that at the heart of him is a guy that wants to see the good guys win. A guy with incredibly low self esteem and a lot of hidden vulnerability due to his abusive childhood and living with a disfiguring illness whose favorite hero is Spiderman. Who fanboys out at the chance to team up with the X-Men. Whose one true love is Bea friggin' Arthur.
He's got layers, and ones I think readers of all ages and especially bullied kids can identify with.

Also he breaks the fourth wall and that's, like, hella cool.

HELLA

oh look at that, more HELLA RAD stuff at my blog!
