Before The Door has its own in-house fangirl explorer - our comic book writer Michael McMillian.
Here's an article on Newsarama where Michael espouses on the rise of the fangirl. We promise that his comic book series that he's currently writing for Before The Door and Archaia will satisfy everyone, regardless of gender.
Actor/writer Michael McMillian has seen more than one side of fandom, both in his role on the HBO vampire series "True Blood" and as part of the comics' community while writing the upcoming magic-based comic "Lucid" for publisher Archaia.
McMillian pointed out that while female readers were the target of the Sookie Stackhouse book series on which "True Blood" is based, the television show has appealed to both sexes -- something he tends to think is possible for any good story. But he recognizes that while men and women may like the same stories, their attraction and response may be a little different.
"When someone's passionate about something, it tends to transcend gender lines. I loved Sean McKeever's run on 'Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane,'" the actor said of the teen-centered comic book, "but I'm pretty sure that wasn't written with me in mind. I do think, however, from watching my niece and nephew play 'Star Wars' together, guys still tend to be a bit more violent in their role-play, while girls seem to be drawn into interpersonal relations between characters."
