Hey, so I wanted to ask, had you heard the newest news from Archie Comics? In the series Life With Archie, about potential future's for the gang, they will be showing us the future in which Archie and Valerie (from Josie and the Pussycats) have a child....

I don't know, but they sure as Hell have.  I am crazy about what they are doing right now. 

GO, ARCHIE, GO.

DC Women Kicking Ass: Aw damn, I liked Vandal Savage's other daughter

DC Women Kicking Ass: Aw damn, I liked Vandal Savage's other daughter:

DC announced on the Source the next arc in DC Universe Presents today:

Following the conclusion of the science-fiction based CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN, the new story arc begins when the nation's best FBI profiler, Kass Sage, must reach out to her father for help in solving a desperate…

Vandal is immortal, right?

Can't he be in Demon Knights AND this book?

James is a big supporter of Secret Six, I really feel confident he wouldn't create a character to put Scandal on a bench.

If you read Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space take this survey!

Every couple years, I need to figure out what types of people are reading my comics. Helps me make the comic more successful by letting me know who's interested in reading it and if I'm reaching who I want to reach. So the…

I HOPE that's what it means!

Great, great creative team, though. Bernard Chang is the MAN.

He's just a complete wizard, he drew some of my favorite WW pages ever and I adore him. And James, when he's doing this kind of stuff, is unstoppable.

SO I am happy to see it. Hope it doesn't mean there's not DCnU Scandal!

But TBH Gail I don't get why anyone would assume this character automatically means Scandal has been rebooted out of history? Scandal had tons of kids. Heck he was supposedly related to Red Arrow as well.

So like I miss the shit out of Scandal but I don't get why this immedately provokes the response of "ZOMG they better not have erased Scandal for this!"

I think it's simply a question of the amount of oxygen available. If a character is being spotlighted, and the character has similarities to another, the other may be put on the backburner while the new character gets a chance to find an audience.

HOWEVER, I have no idea if that's the case, I don't see why it would be. James is a big, big Secret Six supporter and a friend. I don't think he would ever do anything to prevent the Six's return, so I'm not worried, really.

Truth be told, I'm pretty excited about this, it looks exactly like the kind of story I would love.

HA!

People are mocking (kindly, and being helpful) my terrible Tumblr formatting and commenting skills.

I suck at Tumblr, I admit it. I still like it, though!

Wow, I WISH I had some extra copies of Rose and Thorn in excellent condition like that.

However, Mark Waid, wonderguy that he is, he had all six issues bound in a single green leather volume, embossed with a gold logo, it is the most beautiful thing ever.

YES

I am always going to be reblogging Xena/Gabrielle goodness

These two were one of my earliest ships and I love them so much together. They are amazing :D

************

I just want to say, I've met them both…Lucy was lovely, but our meeting was brief. But I spent a lot of time visiting and talking with Renee over the course of a couple weekends. She could not have been sweeter or nicer to her fans, for one thing, and she was excessively creative and enthusiastic about future projects.

A smart cookie and a lovely person inside and out. Sometimes, we meet these people backstage at cons in the green room and they can be a little bit awful. Renee was just the opposite, very down to Earth and kind.

Lady Deadpool cosplay comic con

Long Beach Comic Con 09! With my little Spider-man water pistols

Oh my gosh you are so cute here! :D

You make a great Lady Deadpool

Amazing. I want to write Lady Deadpool SO BAD.

Hi, Gail! BIG fan of your work here! Regarding the Alan Moore discussion, have you ever read Promethea? As someone who's herself known for writing strong female characters, I'd like to know your opinion on that book. Best, J.

Oh, man, people are gonna kill me for this, but…

…I just lost interest. I didn't find the voices believable. It just felt like a middle aged guy writing his idea of what being a young woman is and it didn't work for me.  I hate saying this, because clearly his intentions were great and the art is ridiculous and the craft is amazing.

But the core did not hold for me and I quit reading.

I feel a bit like a traitor for even saying it. Maybe I should go back and give it another look?

fyeahlilbitoeverything:

They're introducing another daughter for Vandal Savage. Yay! Scandal has another sister!

I HOPE that's what it means!

Great, great creative team, though. Bernard Chang is the MAN.

He's just a complete wizard, he drew some of my favorite WW pages ever and I adore him. And James, when he's doing this kind of stuff, is unstoppable.

SO I am happy to see it. Hope it doesn't mean there's not DCnU Scandal!
