You Know, It Occurred To Me...

…that a lot of the reason why comics are taking forward steps is because of you people, people on the internet asking for more. 

I think people’s voices are being heard. So everyone should definitely take a victory lap.

It won’t take unless the sales match the enthusiasm, though, so please remember to also support the books you have been asking for, when they are handled well. Nothing speaks louder than a sale.

But I know this change came from the audience up, and that makes me very happy. 

Now that they're cancelling the new 52 (thank god) and they're giving Black Canary her own series, will you be joining that anytime soon?

No, but I think the art will be amazing!

Thoughts on the new comic line? They are touting it as inclusive, but there aren't that many female solos, only one PoC solo and no queer titles as of yet. Some could have diverse characters, but based on the existing characters listed it doesn't REALLY se

I don’t believe that’s accurate. Midnighter is a gay man, Cyborg is African American, Starfire and Black Canary are getting solo titles, and there’s more coming.

I think DC made some serious errors in the New 52 and by the creative teams they hired, it looks to me like they are definitely making some big corrections, which I welcome.
