"It was worth the drive."
I was just asked "Hey Mom; do you remember that comic…thing we went to?"
"Do you mean Fanaticon?"
"Yeah! It was like a three hour drive."
"Something like that."
"It was worth the drive"
Meeting you guys was one of the huge highlights.
That was one of the best, most entertaining and creative small events I've ever attended.

Satana by Jason Pearson.
Jason's having a bit of a rough patch right now; if you're in a position to buy some original art from him I hope you can do so.
Please do this. I'm going to, as well. Jason is one of the best in the business and a wonderful human being in every respect.

Wait. Wow. That's, that's kind of amazing. This isn't a set or anything, is it? Is it a custom job? That scooter is PERFECT.
I am kind of astounded!
AND it's 100% manly!

One of the best things that happened to me this year...
One of the best things that happened to me this year was getting to meet Gail Simone at Fanaticon, and actually have the time and chance to talk shop.
One of the worst was losing Secret Six so soon after that.
But, we still have the memories and precedents set by that wonderful comic, and everyone that was involved. Merry Christmas, Secret Sadistic Sexual Sleigh-rides Six!
I did not realize it was you who drew this! Meeting you and your girlie was absolutely a highlight of an already wonderful event. Asheville rocks!
Hello! I have a brief question: Do you agree or disagree with the notion that superhero/mainstream comics needs more size-positive/body-positive characters?
Yeah, and I'm as guilty of that as anyone else. Some of the characters, like Scandal, even though she was supposed to have a certain compact, tough body shape, they get a bit homogenized as more and more artists work on them.
It's just another thing on the list of stuff that needs desperately to be done. The relaunch is hopefully a good place to do this, even if it seems like they went the other way with Waller.
""By the same token, sexy is not exploitative, and exploitation is dishonest. Reverse that chain and..."
"By the same token, sexy is not exploitative, and exploitation is dishonest. Reverse that chain and you can see that, whoever you are writing, if you are honest about them, fair to them, and allow them their moments of brilliance, you can create that sexiness without it becoming pandering. Sexy is not a visual trait - that's titillation. Cheesecake, beefcake, those are entirely visual matters. What makes someone sexy - what makes anyone sexy, in my opinion - is less how they look than how they do. Competence is sexy. Capability is sexy. Confidence is sexy. Smart is sexy. A character who clearly embodies these traits in some capacity or another is a character who is going to be attractive.
Bending over to pick up a dropped pen with your ass high in the air isn't sexy, that's just a butt shot. We confuse arousing with sexy in the same way we confuse strength with cruelty. A strong character isn't, by definition, a mean one, but the confusion between the two has lead to a shorthand where the attempt to depict a female character as "strong" translates to "bitch." They're not the same. Strength is part of character, as well - those characters who know what they want, know what they're willing to do to achieve those goals, and who rise again and again against opposition are, by definition, strong."

Greg Rucka (via ComicVine)
I really dare anyone to find me another male writer who respects women and understands women better than Greg Rucka. Actually, I'll take it a step further, I dare you to find another male writer who respects MEN and understands the concept of all the incredibly damaging stereotypes we have about what it means to be "masculine" better than Greg Rucka.
DC Comics has not been the same without him. His loss is deeply, deeply felt. And I firmly believe that if he was running DC Comics in place of the men in power now it would be a far different and better place not only for women but for men as well.
(via therearecertainshadesoflimelight)
I miss Greg all the time. We disagreed about approach sometimes, but we always knew that we had each other's back and that we cared about the integrity of the work FIRST, before other considerations.
I don't believe he's gone from DC forever. We almost did a Huntress/Question book together, or at least we pitched it (couldn't do it, Huntress was being used elsewhere). I am hoping to have him back, his voice is sorely missed.
