Gail Simone's Blog, page 140

Ms. Simone, as the most incredible writer in all of comics, can you confirm that retcons are caused by heroes and villains fucking with the timeline? Like between the speedsters of DC and Doctor Doom's time machine, at this point the time stream has to be

That’s a really interesting idea. Huh.

And thanks!

This actually may be my headcanon now, that too much time-travel bent the timeline!

Why is it that online digital comic resources like Comixology only get certain issues of things? I have been striving to track down all of Wonder Womans issues for purchase online but only the first nine issues seem to be available...Why is that?

I am not sure I understand this question at all. I just went through and they had hundreds of issues of Wonder Woman. Which nine issues do you mean?

I know the process of converting these to digital, especially Golden Age issues, is laborious and time-intensive. DC and Marvel have been putting their recent stuff up first, and then the back catalog in increments. But I found just a ton of issues from every run, so I don’t know what this means.

Are you going to see Ratchet And Clank ?

I only know the game, is there a movie or something?

No questions. Only a simple THANK YOU!!! :) (Hope to meet you & Rocketspouse, again!)

ELI!

Proud of you for your new gig at GEEKS OUT!

(SECRET SIX SPOILERS) I have to say, Gail, bless you for writing Ralph Dibny so well. Knowing that it was Ralph who was so nice to Porcelain and everyone else really just warmed my heart even more than before, you know?

Thank you, me too…I hope you follow what’s coming up in here in the last couple issues. :)

Oh that’s why

I am really excited about this boxed set. It’s an honor to be included.

You know since vandal savage is a major Villain for one of the screen shows perhaps just an episode or 2 cameo by scandal and the team could happen?

They gave me a head’s up a while back that Vandal’s daughter would be on the show, but it is not yet clear to me if it is Scandal or not. I know they followed my books, and that’s very flattering, but I don’t yet know if they are using Scandal or the character James Robinson created. 

Gail I love your batgirl run, so I would just like to say A: Thank you for that and B: do you have any recommendations for me I want to read more of your work but don't know where to start!

Oh, thanks! There’s been a LOT of Batgirl love lately and it’s nice to look back and remember how amazingly well it sold at that time. But the biggest thing for me was that a lot of people who had suffered trauma found a lot of comfort in it.

I still have mixed feelings but I am proud of what we accomplished.

If you liked Batgirl, you may like my runs on Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, Gen 13, or All New Atom? 

Not a question and no need to answer: "Olicity" is a portmanteau name, "shippers" often take the names of two characters and make them one. Olicity therefore refers to Oliver/Felicity. Some people take their ships really serious, so when you said I HATE S

Right, I did know that much, but I have no idea who ‘Felicity’ is or why it’s relevant, I just have not seen the show.

And it’s weird that I made a completely general comment without mentioning a name (because I didn’t KNOW any names, again, don’t watch the show) and one lady just absolutely decided I was making fun of her beloved ship personally, it’s just weird to witness. :)

But I don’t think it’s a big deal, seriously, it’s odd to see it happen, people who don’t follow me and don’t know a thing about me suddenly attacking me because some lady told them to, when she was clearly absolutely 100% mistaken. Strange stuff.

But it did keep me laughing all day because it just got so ridiculous.

I don’t care about shipping, I’m all for it, I do it myself. I just think it’s weird to attack people for doing the same exact thing, just with some other pairing. It seems completely weird and unnecessary.
