As you're a big Falcon fan i thought you'd find this fun. Search on youtube "Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Falcon Flying Compilation." It's 3 minutes and 24 seconds of Falcon awesomeness. Not sure if you've seen it or not, but if you have...well, s

MUST WATCH.

Hi Gail. You seem to be really savvy when it comes to gender issues/politics so I had a question. Lately I have been seeing a lot of posts about "straight white cis gendered men" are bad people. I seem to have a case of guilt and feel negatively about mys

This sounds a little odd to me…

First, I’m not that savvy about gender issues or politics, I am not an expert in any way. I am feeling my way, making mistakes, like everyone else. I claim no particular expertise except what’s in my experience and those I have spoken to about it.

Second, there’s nothing wrong with being any of those things, none of those things stop you from being a decent person. It’s just that the rest of the world would like the same acknowledgment of personhood and humanity. 

That’s my opinion, anyway. 

"When a world does not accommodate how you are, when you appear wrong in some way, feeling wrong in..."

“When a world does not accommodate how you are, when you appear wrong in some way, feeling wrong in your body, being wrong in your body, loving the wrong body, mourning a wronged body, you have to be less accommodating if you are to persist in being who you are being.”

Gail, will Deadshot be in the new Secret Six book? It's just that, well, he hasn't been written the best lately. I think you'd do wonders for him, especially his "relationship" with Harley, I think under the right writer, that'd have a whole lot of potenti

Thank you, but I think Deadshot is still in Suicide Squad.

I promise, there are LOTS of weirdos, creeps and jerks in this book, plus a couple people who MIGHT NOT be any of those things, who might actually be nice.

Weird!  :)

Secret Six, You Guys

Yahoo!  This came out yesterday, I am told.

Will the secret project include a literal cheesecake?

It’s mainly weird sex on the couch.

So, I follow your Tumblr pretty religiously, but sometimes life gets in the way and I miss things. I know you've mentioned a number of upcoming projects, all of them secret, and I have only been able to find the one announcement about Secret Six. Have you

Yes, I have a couple things that have been announced.

CLEAN ROOM is my new VERTIGO book, it’s quite unlike anything I’ve done before, it’s absolutely disturbing and it’s beautifully drawn by Jon Davis Hunt with covers by the amazing Jenny Frisson.

And WOMEN OF DYNAMITE: SWORDS OF SORROW is one of the funnest things I’ve done, a massive cast crossover featuring my favorite pulp and modern Dynamite heroines, with Red Sonja, Vampirella, Kato, Dejah Thoris, and more.

There are a couple other things but they haven’t been announced yet. :)

Hi, ms Simone. This week i will be doing 2 huge tests ( Something like the SATs in my country) and the pressure is killing me. I feel so depressed that i can barely get out of bed and most of my friends are ignoring and not talking to me, because they are

Here’s the thing, though, anxiety doesn’t help, and it can easily keep building and then it’s no longer a background noise, it’s your sworn enemy.

You CAN give yourself breaks, give yourself permission not to think about your tests for half an hour, do something you like, even if it’s not comics. Even condemned prisoners get to walk the yard or read magazines or SOMETHING. 

Give yourself that permission. Even if it’s just to go get some french fries or play a game or listen to music with your eyes closed. 

Because, here’s the thing, those of us who have deadlines every day, we HAVE to learn to cope somehow. And almost everyone I know has learned to give themselves a moment where they put their worries in a box for half an hour. It pays off, they come back stronger and less anxious.

Now, this is just what works for me, it’s not advice for someone who is suffering from a clinical problem or a severe depression. But you asked for advice on tests, and my advice is, I swear, go buy a Slurpee and sit and watch Father Ted for half an hour or something. You can’t function if there’s no recharge. It’ll be all right.

Let me know how it goes, okay? Give yourself a recess. You will do better because of it.
