Is Batgirl technically Barbara Gordon Jr. since her mother is also named Barbara Gordon?

Urgh, I tried to talk them out of that, it meant both the Gordon kids were named after their parents.

No go, sadly.

What's New Frontiers? I only started reading DC with the New 52, and the only pre-Flashpoint Wonder Woman I've read is (most of) your run in trade format.

New Frontiers is a brilliant graphic novel written and drawn by Darwyn Cooke, it’s one of the best things DC has ever published.

Hi Gail, I recently received a very angry message from one of my followers trying to claim that Deadpool is straight because of a select few images (him with females and him recently marrying Shiklah). Would you mind disproving his theory?

I am behind on Deadpool but haven’t the current writers made it pretty clear he’s bi?

Hi! i was wonder if Knightfall was partly based on Tabby Brennan from your Birds of Prey run?

!!!

I never put those two together, but…wow, that’s a very interesting observation. They do have similarities. 

Well done for spotting something I didn’t even notice!

also worth noting that her name is Lane. After Lois Lane.

basically she’s the cutest child ever. They have a tumblr page and an instagram filled with pictures of her. She’s perfect.

I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH

But Cruella. Cruella looking so proud at the little girl with puppies on her dress. It’s sweet in a super dark sort of way.

THAT IS TOO CUTE.

Posting a few chapters of A DISTANT SOIL here for free. All are from the digitally restored editions.

I’m also running the PREQUEL at the official website, and have reformatted the site to allow each chapter to be divided into easy searches, so you can start where you like. I’m also going to be adding fan art and development sketches to the site. I have over 100 pages of unpublished art that I’ll be loading in the coming months.

Please consider dropping a hat tip to my website or picking up one of my books. We still have five figures of payments to make on the digital restoration of the series. I also have eight issues of the 50 issue run to complete!

Thanks for your support!

Also

Colleen Doran is pretty great, yo.

Wait a minute -- so, since King Shark is so obviously a capybara, does that mean that Mouse can control him? The story potential there is staggering!

QUIT TOYING WITH MY MIND.

Some great stuff on this list and for god’s sakes, at the very least, get New Frontiers for 99 cents a book! :)

So obviously they're in different continuities, but would Mouse and Squirrel Girl become best friends ever, or bestest friends ever?

In my mind, they are already building a nest in a tree somewhere.

I recently found out that you wrote an episode of JLU. How different is writing a cartoon script as opposed to a comic script? Can you do one thing easier with one than another?

Well, formatting for animation takes a lot more time for me as I am unused to it, and also I do a lot more choreography in my comics scripts (storyboarders do a lot of that in animation, they’re experts at it). 

But I enjoy both tremendously!
