Gail Simone's Blog, page 217

Good luck, Mrs. Simone. I hope that everything turns out okay and that justice is served.

Thank you, we hope so.

Our concern is that this man claims to be a trained fighter, and next time, he might choose a victim who can’t fight back.

This week, we are finally having a hearing for Justin James Goff, the man arrested for assaulting my son. It’s been a long wait, we are hoping for a just resolution for this act of violence.

If only we’d found a Black Canary! Partial Birds of Prey are still better than no Birds of Prey :D

Oh, my god, so gorgeous!

This cosplay makes me happy! 

I know you've probably gotten a ton of responses to this effect, but I just wanted to thank you for that post in defense of fantasy. Comics (and pop culture in general) would be better off it we all just had a little more fun.

Well, I think people seemed to take it as all about clothing, particularly flesh being shown, where that was really such a tiny part of it that I am a little baffled.

My point was meant to be larger, that ‘realism’ isn’t, by itself, a shining beacon on a hill that all fiction should aspire to, there is such a thing as verisimilitude, for one thing. And I also hate the notion that there’s only one correct path to follow, in any event.

I like realistic stories and I like flights of fantasy, and I like some funky mix of the two. There’s no single correct course. 

Cincy ComiCon wants you for next year's show! Will you please attend and make my life? Seriously, this is my favorite con and I think you'd enjoy it.

That is very kind of you! They did ask me and were very nice about it. But I get invited to a LOT of shows…

I am going through the process of deciding some of them now. This is very tough stuff, actually!

A healthy mistrust of authority is a good thing, whether it’s official or self-declared. 

That’s my advice for everyone today. :)

So I attended FanExpo, met jimzub and got this commission of Virtue from the Movement! What do you, gailsimone?

I am so JEALOUS of this!

Are either Crosswind or Clean Room going to have representation of openly and canonically lesian couples in their cast of characters either as main or supporting characters? And if not why not?

They both are. 

Is it wierd that I kinda like Cyclops?

It is.
