Gail Simone's Blog, page 235

Does DC have some sort of official board or petition kind of thing where fans can make requests? Like, creating some sort of petition asking for say, a second Wonder Woman book, or a Marvel family book, and letting other fans add their voices to it?

I don’t think so, but I do know such petitions have made some difference in the past. 

You say DC pays more attention to sales, yet Supergirl was increasing in sales and they still cancelled that. Other books selling far worse got new #1s in June. It's very hard to work out how to support characters when DC is sending messages like that.

I have talked about this often. First, I have no inside knowledge about what books a company decides to cancel. Second, sales are not the ONLY issue considered. And third, I will be astounded if there isn’t a new Supergirl book in the works to take advantage of her increased visibility once the show starts.

Are there any comic book characters you dislike?

There are a few but I have warmed up to most of them. 

If you could work on a solo series for any of the New Gods, who would you pick?

BARDA.

Barda Barda Barda.

Hi Gail, just wondering: will we see Catman's bisexuality explored any further in the series?

Yep.

Hi Gail! Love your work, love your blog. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the concerns that Dick Grayson is being too sexualized in his current series that you wouldn't mind sharing.

I haven’t read it!

How much does DC pay attention to fan criticism? For example, if the general consensus from fans and critics said that the Finch's run on Wonder Woman was a giant turd, would DC take that seriously and look at how to improve the book? Or would they brush i

They pay more attention to sales, really. 

I kinda get it. There’s a non-stop hum of discontent on social media, all the time. If a book has constant uproar but sells well, and another is well-liked on the internet but nobody buys it, it does send a weird message. 

I haven’t read the new52 Wonder Woman so I can’t speak as to their quality.
