What's GemWorld???
It’s a place in another dimension where AMETHYST is a princess.
My dream is for you to join the arrow writers team and fix everything. EVERYTHING. My worst fear is that that they won't make Laurel a bad ass Black Canary. You don't have to answer this lol.
I would love to write an episode but I have only seen, I think, two episodes of the show, so I would have to get caught up!
Gail, keep an eye out for a film called "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night." Iranian vampire film directed by Ana Lily Amirpour. You might like it.
I read the comic and thought it was fabulous, looking forward to the film!
What House was Misfit from in Gemworld? What else can you tell us about her original backstory? (If--please please please let this be so!!--the pre-Flashpoint DCU, with your Barbara and Dick story coming up, gets to survive somehow, I hope that that can
I think if you look at the color of her BOUNCE effect, you might get a clue about what House she was from…:)
When we first got these greyhounds, they didn’t know what...
When we first got these greyhounds, they didn’t know what to do with dog toys, they didn’t understand glass or stairs, they didn’t even really understand being petted. Now they are full of joy and affection.
Next time you are thinking of getting a pet, please consider a rescue!

I was browsing Comicvine when I saw the page for Misfit say she is from Gemworld. Is that true?
That was always my secret origin for her, yes. It has never been stated in canon. In the new 52, she may have a slightly different origin.
Can you please revive Starling in Secret Six??
Starling was on the short list for a long time, she was one of the team right up until a month or so before launch. I tried! Hopefully she can at least appear, she’s one of my favorite things in the new 52.

Honestly if I didnt follow you on tumblr i'd have never heard of the movement
Yeah, that’s clearly a failure on our part.
But even so, it’s also possible that people just plain didn’t like the book. I don’t want to attribute low sales to some vast conspiracy. Sometimes you do your best and it doesn’t get people to respond, it just happens. Or you do something that doesn’t hit the level you wanted and you can’t see it, somehow. Authors are far, far, far, far from the best observers of their own work.
I am kind of bummed because I think we had a far more interesting cast than many, many books, and I think we were talking about themes well ahead of most other comics. But that’s MY view, and I clearly am not objective. :)
Mostly I just miss Mouse and Vengeance Moth.
