Do you think you will get to write Wonder Woman again in the future, either in the Sensation Comics or her own run? Your Wonder Woman comics were what made me fall in love with her. I'd love to see you write her again in the future!!

It’s hard for me to turn down chances to write Diana. I hope I get to write her again!

Secret Six #4

tessatechaitea:

Are they living in the suburbs of Grand Theft Auto?



I have a confession to make. When I drive a car around in Grand Theft Auto, I cannot not run directly into anybody riding a motorcycle. It’s so satisfying! I think I have some internal rage stemming from all of those bumper stickers telling me to fucking share the road and preemptively blaming me and other car drivers for killing motorcyclists. Hmm. Now that I’ve typed that sentence, I think a bigger problem with me is that I get angry at stupid bumper stickers! The bumper stickers I get especially angry at are the ones having a dialogue with other bumper stickers! Like that Jesus fish eating the atheist fish! Also the atheist fish alone! It doesn’t make sense! And how about those idiots driving around proclaiming their dog is smarter than somebody’s kid? And…and…those zombie families that proclaim they’ve eaten your stick figure family! Maybe I need some immersion therapy! I should get a bumper sticker that says, “My other car was impounded after purposely killing a motorcyclist with it.”



Oh! I know! I’ll get a sticker across the front of my hood in backwards font that reads SHARE THIS!

I was bummed when, for a little while, I wasn’t getting any mean but hilarious reviews from Tess Ate Chai Tea, because there was a gap in the release of DC books I’d written. That sucked.

Tess, your reviews are wonderful. Love a book or hate a book, they make me laugh every time. You seriously should be doing this in a higher profile context so more people see them!

I hope you think it over, this stuff is too good.

And thank you, I am glad you like Secret Six. And that’s a good point about Catman and the cookies, he SHOULD have smelled them first. Dang!

Do you think there's any chance of DC putting out new editions of your Wonder Woman stuff after BvS comes out?

Don’t know, they sold well, I am told!

Do you like the Legionnaires? If so do you have a favourite?

Love the Legion. My favorite is Infectious Lass (for real) but I also like Wildstar, Karate Kid, and Shrinking VIolet. 

Hey Gail! Do you know if there's any chance you may get back on writing Batgirl?

No, I think I am done writing Babs, but thank you for asking!

If you had the opportunity to cast your own Birds Of Prey on the big screen, who would you cast as Babs, Dinah and Helena?

I honest to god have no idea, I don’t know actresses, I don’t follow celebrities at all as a rule, and I don’t care that much about the TV adaptations, to be honest.

I get asked this several times a week, and I honestly don’t have an answer other than I thought DIna Meyer was a great Oracle. 

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL YOU MUST WRITE FOR SUPERGIRL OMG, MY LIFE WOULD BE MADE

I do hope to do it, she’s one of the few DC big-time girl characters I haven’t had a chance to write at all.

Speaking of Supergirl, any explanation as to why the monthly got cancelled? It's the first time with no Supergirl comic in almost a decade... :( she was my favorite. We don't even have a Superboy comic anymore. It seems strange that the SG comic would get

I have no idea, I think it sold pretty well.

My guess is it will be relaunched for the TV series, but I have ZERO inside info on that.Sorry!

Do you have sexuality head canons for the Supers? Or no cause you don't write them.

Hmm.

Nothing leaps to mind, I guess. I think of Superman as straight, but that’s because I see him as 100% bonded with Lois. But it’d be interesting to explore Kryptonian sexuality and what it means here on Earth.

I haven’t really thought enough about it for the rest of the cast. It’d be pretty lovely if at least one was lgbtq. 

So....when secret six gonna crossover with supergirl? Jeannette vs Silver Banshee!! lol C'mon, an connection such as that should be interesting. haha

It’s funny you should say that, the script I was working on yesterday was SUPPOSED to be the Six vs. Supergirl, but it didn’t work out for very good reasons (it happens, sometimes, no biggie).

Since I have never really written her, I hope to get to her someday. I don’t know if I have even written a single line of dialog for her, now that I think about it. Huh!
