Cosmic Pastries

she did absolutely nothing wrong in the movies yet the fandom treats her like she's the devil. people blame her for STEVE kissing HER because the writers would later make him decide to go back in time to be with her aunt, but it's not like this is somehow her fault??

beyond that, sharon is steve's canon love interest from the comics, his MAIN love interest who plays a HUGE role in his story, especially in the comic run they were drawing from when they made his movies. they split all of her contributions from the comics among the other female characters instead of letting her get to shine, and the fandom will still blame HER for it? I can't find sharon carter content anywhere without seeing a dozen comments saying crap like "why was she even there" "she's gross for kissing steve" etc.

beyond that, the way emily van camp was treated as a result of the sharon hatred was HEINOUS. there was a group of fans who tried to get her to kill herself so sharon wouldn't appear in future movies. hayley atwell went around saying peggy wouldn't support steve and sharon, that they were gross, etc., fueling the fire for her fans to go and even further attack emily and sharon fans. there are countless stories from sharon fans who attended comic cons dressed as sharon and then were bullied or had to sit through panels where sharon was belittled by people like hayley atwell.

then it's like the writers catered to the hatred for her and leaned into the bitter woman scorned trope by turning her into a villain in the falcon and winter soldier.

there are even clips of the writers for the show "what if" talking about zombie steve doing disgusting things to sharon, and how no one likes sharon anyways, so it would be good.

all of this for a character who is canonically one of THE MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTERS in captain america lore.

even without bringing the comics into it, she was a great character in all her appearances in the movies. our first time meeting her, we see her jump directly into danger by running into fury's apartment, she later questions the lies shield was being fed by hydra, and then she immediately risks her life to stand against hydra once she realizes the truth (she also gets the absolutely iconic moment where one of the hydra agents says to her, "you chose the wrong side" and she says, while holding a gun to his head, "depends on where you're standing.") in civil war, she again risks her life to help steve and his friends get away and feed them information. she was amazing in all her appearances and never did anything to deserve the vehement hatred she and her fans received.

This comic has haunted my marketplace for a week now

Her breasts are trying to fly off, her right leg is coming right off, her left leg is coming from the centre of her body, I guess that's what happens to you when you're stuck in a dungeon the size of a closet for too long. D:

As some of you might recall from this essay, I spent the latter half of 2025 working on a comic for the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, Georgia. Tania Sammons, a curator at the museum who had previously licensed my guide to sailors’ tattoos for a show, wrote to me with an irresistible pitch: four cartoonists would be hired, assigned a vessel from the museum's extensive collection of models, then given six months to produce a short comic for publication in an anthology alongside an accompanying museum display.

How could I say no?

My original brief was to research the Anne, the ship that brought the first colonists to Georgia, but in the aftermath of my dad's death the story took off in directions I couldn't have foreseen.

I'm releasing the whole comic online to coincide with the opening of Drawn to the Sea, the exhibition in Savannah. If you're in the area this week (or anytime over the next nine months!) you can stop in and see all the amazing work that came from myself and fellow artists Avery Hick, Rich King, and Sharon Norwood. Details about the museum show are here.

In the meantime, here's a very personal comic.
