Hypothetically, it’s probably safe to say that a panel with the name “Do Geek Girls Exist?” immediately conjures images of many a scantily-clad Comic-Con goil — and not just in the minds of guys. (One of the most glorious discoveries of this convention was that things really really aren’t so hetero anymore.) Of course a male CC- attendee’s reaction is perfectly explainable: there’s that pesky inner-adolescent that we really never outgrew — that and the fact that it’s all those other CC fanboys are more to blame for putting out countless pictures of fangirl/half-naked Leias and Sailor Moons and Harley Quinns. Thus I am still haunted by the ghosts of Comic-Con past, despite the fact that this year was when I actually got my CC cherry popped. But tonight, at the Geek Girls Exist panel, we had a bunch of brainy broads, and what Marv from Sin City might very well affectionately label “dames to kill for” if he wasn’t so much a big huge lug but a big huge nerd.
