 - Barbara Gordon, AKA BATGIRL AKA Reference Librarian

Jesus, sometimes you read these old comics and they just smack you one across the mouth for no good reason.

Alysia Yeoh needs to meet Renee Montoya and make her soup.

ablipintime:

And then once things get hot and steamy, when Alysia is all cuddling up on Renee in bed, Alysia will say "The last woman I had in my bed was Barbara Gordon". And Renee would look all shocked and yell "COMMISSIONER GORDON'S DAUGHTER?!" 

And then my life can be made.

This is not entirely impossible…she makes a lot of soup!

I just wanted to say, I'm loving the supporting cast in Batgirl! Tonya over in Firestorm was awesome as well (please do not kill her!)

Aww, I am so glad. Both of these characters have surprises and increasingly important roles in their respective books. I think people are going to be extremely surprised, but I don't want to give anything away. Jason's dad becomes pretty awesome, too, I think. Glad you are enjoying!

That's really pretty! 

I love that version of Batgirl, smart, hopeful, on the verge of full adulthood.  Great stuff.

Fuck everyone else, someone make Alysia Yeoh a mask this second and give her a book of her own.

She answers the door with a baseball bat and fuzzy slippers.

She wears lightning bolts and doesn't give a fuck.

I'm in love.

I promise, Alysia Yeoh is amazing…I can't wait until we get to see what her whole story is. I am excited.

Also, she cooks Katong Laksa.

 She really is badass.

Dude…wait til around issue eight or so, seriously.  Seriously.  ;)

Very Cool About Geek Girl Con

I just heard from the programming director of Geek Girl Con, and she said that after reading about the woman I talked about in my tumblr GGC report, that they are going to adjust programming for next GGC to ensure that it reflects pwd issues for readers, content and panelists.

Thanks, Jen, that's great to hear!

The Secret Six  

My tribute to a fantastic graphic novel series. It contains every member of the team from the first official Secret Six book (though not the last, cause I haven't read that yet). Including Harley, peeping out from her cameo in the Birds of Prey crossover.

Painted in ArtRage. And much as I love Scandal, I think Ragdoll has stolen the show again in the corner.

And it is nearly four am, so GOODNIGHT.

Beautiful! And it shows me that I should have had Ragdoll wearing a top  hat!

Will Lady Blackhawk ever get her own mini-series or series?

Unfortunately, that seems pretty unlikely at this point. I'm not positive, but I think Zinda is one of the unfortunate disappearances in the new 52. :(
