So this just happened on Twitter.

My inner Nightwing-fangirl is pleading Gail isn't joking.

I would LOVE Nightwing in a dress.

It better be a blue dress. I second the plunging v neckline too.

Make sure it shows off his ass, too.

And elbow length gloves with finger stripes, too, please?

I KNOW. THE FINGER STRIPES NEED TO COME BACK.

I tease Kyle about them, but he wants them back just as much. They add a great visual pop.

So if he were ever to get a nice dress, yes, fingerstripes all the way up to forever!

"George Zimmerman has not been charged in the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was walking home from a convenience store in Sanford, Fla., near Orlando. Zimmerman, who patrolled the Retreat at Twin Lakes development in his own car, had been called aggressive in earlier complaints to the local police and the homeowner's association, according to a homeowner who spoke on the condition of anonymity. At an emergency homeowner's association meeting on March 1, "one man was escorted out because he openly expressed his frustration because he had previously contacted the Sanford Police Department about Zimmerman approaching him and even coming to his home," the resident wrote in an email to HuffPost. "It was also made known that there had been several complaints about George Zimmerman and his tactics" in his neighborhood watch captain role."

George Zimmerman Neighbors Complained About Aggressive Tactics Before Trayvon Martin Killing (via robot-heart-politics)

End. Of. This. What law enforcement agency doesn't arrest someone who just shot a teenager armed with nothing but tea and Skittles for his little brother when said person also has a history of noted aggression and complaints filed against the way he conducts himself in his privileged position? This is getting extremely bizarre.

I'm hearing murmurs that he's a police informant. And in a weird way, I hope that's true. I really, truly hope there is some reason that a man who killed a child in cold blood is walking free today. Some reason other than "he killed a Black kid and no one cares." If Zimmerman was harassing (ostensibly white) neighbors too without any police intervention… that smells fishy to me.

And the "it was self-defense" argument wouldn't hold water even if it WAS true, which it most certainly is not. If you murder someone, even in self-defense, you still are arrested and have a trial. THEN they declare it was self-defense and maybe you can go home. (Unless you're a woman who murdered her husband in self-defense, in which case you get an average of 15-20 years in the slammer.) There is no legal precedent whatsoever for George Zimmerman to be walking free.

Either he's an informant or he has some sort of personal connection to someone on the force. Or dirty pictures of the police chief. Even if it was just pure stupid racism, they'd had backtracked when they realized "oh shit, this guy's record has been released." But so far, they've just been trying to ignore this. Why?

This story gets more and more sickening all the time.

((Oh Mary Zero, how I miss you.))

I really miss Mary Zero, one of the first characters I created at Marvel. I don't think she's been used over there since my Agent X run. She would have made a fun Teen Titan. :(

Batgirl decides to drop by Dinah's appartment in the middle of the night

So they can go 'Spar'

And talks in her internal monologue about how much she loves her in what is perhaps the most femslash-y scene EVER and I love it

Seriously, these two NEED to just be a couple already! I honestly…

Just because Babs snuck into Dinah's bed at night for some action doesn't mean….

Wait. I might have phrased that wrong.

APE IN A CAPE: Female Comics Creators On Tumblr?

APE IN A CAPE: Female Comics Creators On Tumblr?:

A while back, I asked for creators who identified as LGBTQ to announce themselves and promote their work in a massive thread right here on Tumblr. It got hundreds of responses and tons of links to some incredibly wonderful work, most of which has not yet received the exposure it deserves, quite a…

Guess I'll join in! I'm Yasmin and I write/draw the webcomic Saint's Way. I'm currently a senior at Parsons the New School for Design and am majoring in illustration. I'm also an intern at Marvel Entertainment in their digital comics department.

At the moment, I'm working on a few different comic book projects, most of which I can't actually talk about or are not grounded in cement just yet. It's a lot of sitting at my desk drawing things that no one will ever see. Exciting!

I reblogged this for the GLBT one, but also, comics created by ladies! I'm Maggie and I'm the illustrator of Jesus Loves Lesbians, Too

^Signal boosting for two awesome artists that I know, up here, and Gail, who is an awesome comicbook goddess, unto herself. ;)^

Thanks, but man, I am delighted to see so many talented women making their own comics and aspiring to make their own comics.

Honest to god, it's like a dream come true.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I love...

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I love the Black Canary like  the sky loves the sun.

Today at my local comic shop (House of Secrets in Burbank), I watched a six-year-old girl page through every single comic in Womanthology: Heroic.  I may have gotten a bit choked up. Isn't this exactly who Womanthology was made for?

Shown in the photos are stories by Renae De Liz; Kate Leth; Gail Simone and Jean Kang; and myself, Fiona Staples and Adriana Blake. Reading through with her was Amy, House of Secrets employee and one of the Womanthology Kickstarter backers.

Awwwwww.  I'm seriously tearing up, you gals.

Beautiful.

THIS IS A PETITION FOR DC COMICS TO BRING BACK THE TITLE 'SECRET SIX' WITH GAIL SIMONE AS ITS WRITER!!!

WHILE THIS IS BUT A FAN'S ATTEMPT TO BRING BACK THE TITLE, SOME OF DC'S CREATIVE PEOPLE ARE ON TUMBLR AND MAYBE DC WILL TAKE NOTICE IF ENOUGH OF…

But I thought everyone hated Gail Simone now.

AS WELL THEY SHOULD!

Do the editors force you to keep referencing The Killing Joke? I'm getting really tired of seeing the Joker in a Hawaiian shirt in EVERY ISSUE OF BATGIRL.

Nope, and issue eight shows why we've been doing it and pretty much puts an end to that thread for the duration.
