TLIID Cover homage Catman on TheNEW52 Catwoman 1 by Nick-Perks

Have you seen this Gail? (a little less body hair than I would have expected, but even so… wow!)

I…um…

Er, that is to say…

I LIKE THIS.

MY THOUGHTS ON JOHN GREEN

I don’t watch ARROW.

John Green is upset because people have been calling him a pedophile just because most of his audience is teen girls.

Yeah, see, I am not aware of this situation at all, I barely know who the guy is. 

You ready for Batman Arkham Knight?

I know this is going to infuriate people but I got a little bored with the franchise, the last game I didn’t even finish, and that’s a first.

I’m excited, but I have some games to finish first (AFTER I catch up on work).

hey gail whats the status of clean room its been a while since i've heard updates

We are working on it, we’re several issues ahead. And it looks AMAZING!

Release date info coming soon, and it’s going to be amazing, I am so happy. :)

mathematicianalias:

Damn Jan Duursema knows how t draw them!

Jan killed on them, didn’t she?

I asked her to “draw Conan and Red Sonja at their BADDEST, and then put wings on them.”

She got it immediately!

as a writer who has been on tumblr for quite a while, how do you feel about John Green's recent claims that the entire tumblr community has "changed" and that as a writer he can't interact with the community or his followers without being injustly attacked

Is that the YA guy?

I honestly haven’t been paying attention but this refrain sounds like the same thing everyone has said (including me in the hopefully distant past) when they get called out on something. They’re usually completely wrong and just being defensive.

But I have no idea what he is being ‘attacked’ or ‘slandered’ over, if in fact, that’s a true representation of the situation. I am speaking in complete ignorance of his situation. 

It’s tough, in a way. Creators work hard, they put themselves and their talents out there, and sometimes people CAN be unfair, and if you have a voice at all, you want to defend your work.  But if you treat every criticism like that, you’re not being a stand-up creator, you’re being  an asshole.

teatime-brutality:

Tula Lotay’s cover for Swords of Sorrow #5 is a bit great, isn’t it?

I swear to God, I almost can’t stand how gorgeous this cover is. I hope Dynamite does a print, I would  want that forever.

I like this even more because this cover was my idea! Woot!

Hi, I wanted to get your opinion on something. I wanted to know what movie you think is better: The Lego Movie or Frozen?

I personally liked the Lego Movie more, but I do find a lot of Frozen very charming. 

What can I read to learn more about Gym World, and Princess Amethyst?

I think you mean Gem World, and Amethyst has had a couple different series, one ended just last year. Good luck! The early stuff is my favorite!
