Gail Simone's Blog, page 242

Hey Gail! The other day I got to put a copy of Secret Six into the hands of my genderqueer roomie and they were very exited to see Porcelain in the book. So thank you for that. Additionally: I remember some time back (a long time, honestly) you mentioned t

Hooray about Porcelain!  I am very glad to hear it.

About events. Hmmm.

Well, there are a couple things I could have meant. I MIGHT have meant that I was working on Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle. Or I might have been talking about a project I was working on that got pre-empted a little bit by the New52.

OR I might have meant the huge thing I am still working on, that hasn’t been announced yet. 

I honestly don’t know!

Hi Gail, I was wondering what you think of Amazons Attack

It’s one of those books that makes me sad. The scripting is good, the art is magnificent, but some of the ideas in it are just oddball and there’s such a feeling of contempt for the Amazons, which I think was reflective more of editorial at DC at the time than the actual creative team.

I don’t remember it that well, but it bugged me that the highest profile story featuring the Amazons in ages was that. Fortunately, Rucka was around to do much more interesting and creative things with them!

Oh, my god, how cute is this?

Hello Ms. Simone I have a few questions sorry. I was wondering if there was ever a chance that you could write a Big Barda (The most underrated DC superheroine) miniseries? Or get a another chance at Gen 13 (its a guilty pleasure) with a miniseries as well

Gen13 should come back, it’s a great concept and team. Splitting the characters into other teams and books hasn’t really paid off.

Barda, I love. She’s one of my favorites. I think it could be done.

thefingerfuckingfemalefury:

Can the media please stop acting like there’s a ‘feud’ between them now, out of a desire to try and perpetuate the idea that succesful women can’t be friends with each other

I thought Nicki was unbelievably gracious about this. 

Very, very classy.

I pay no attention to celebrities, but this made me happy.

thegeneha:I’ll be at #GenCon doing writers panels next week!...

I said it before and I will say it again, there was never the slightest doubt in my mind that neither Gene Ha nor Jim Zub would appear on a Women Friendly Comics panel if they knew there were no women on it. No way. These guys are absolutely 100% supportive of women in comics and have shown it over and over again.

It may be true of the other guests as well, but I don’t know most of them. 

Anyway, just sayin’. 

Re-blog if you would accept somebody you knew who came out as asexual

clowncrownallenwalker:

I’m honestly really curious to see how many people actually accept it. Because there are allot of people who don’t believe it’s real. Or at the least don’t accept it when somebody they know come out as asexual.

Megyn Kelly guest: If Sandra Bland ‘had been my daughter I would have been embarrassed’:

invisiblelad:

You’d be embarrassed and she’d be dead. The outcome would still be outrageous and unacceptable. 

I’d call Megyn Kelly a piece of shit, but that would be insulting to pieces of shit.
