Gail Simone's Blog, page 109

I hope you have good trip and safe trip. Sorry for asking this, since lot of people either was disappointed or dislike how Batgirl and Barbara Gordon in movie Killing Joke, would like to either write or see Birds of Prey Movie that helps portray Oracle and

Sure!

Hey Gail,if secret six were to get a rebirth title would you write it and would you pick up where you left off with the pre new 52 story?

I don’t think so, it’s time to do new things. I love the Six but I feel like they have had several really strong ‘last issues’ and I don’t know if I want to wake that kraken. :)

I just finished reading Clean Room #10 (my comic got a late shipment so I got it late) and all I can say is....holy freaking fuck! I'm going to be feeling the creeps for a week!

That was in my brain for MONTHS before I could work up the nerve to write it. :)

WOOT! Argentina tomorrow, will be in Buenos Aires for a few days, than CRACK BANG BOOM Comics...

WOOT! Argentina tomorrow, will be in Buenos Aires for a few days, than CRACK BANG BOOM Comics Festival in Rosario! Excited!

Can i just say that i have never felt so sad and happy at the same time. Your last issue of your original run of secert six just blew me away. I absolutely loved it and was a great ending to the series. I cannot wait to read the newer series.

Thank you!  I was very proud of that issue, IGN.COM voted it the best single issue of that year. Which is, YAY!

Do you think we'll see a adaptation of Grant Morrison's ARKHAM ASYLUM comic anytime soon?

I have no idea, I don’t keep up with that stuff.

Do you think romance comics could ever make a comeback?

I do.

Have you ever had an interaction with a fan who's tried too hard to be your new BFF but just ended up making it creepy?

Yeah, but most people are nice. Some people are a little awkward with social things, or they try too hard. But I don’t really get bothered, I have both of those problems myself. 

Given a choice between pursuing writing comics and writing scifi/fantasy novels, in which do you think a new creator has better odds of success, if given that all other (infinitely complex) variables are equal?

I don’t know, I’m told the novel business is really hard, and even some of my really well-known and prolific novelist friends have to struggle to make a living. 

For me, it’s comics all the way. But it depends what your strengths are. Sorry to be unhelpful!

I’m telling you, I love the first family. I love every one of them. I have disagreements with some...

I’m telling you, I love the first family. I love every one of them. I have disagreements with some of Obama’s policies regarding conducting war, in particular. But every time I see that family together, I smile.

The right constantly demonizing them doesn’t even begin to tarnish them. They’re all extraordinary and possessed of a grace those angry weirdos can’t begin to comprehend. 

And who raised better kids than those two daughters? They’re amazing.

I just love ‘em. I think I’d love them even if I weren’t a commie lefty pinko whatever. They’re awesome, and I’m proud they represent our country.
