What's your opinion about Helena Bertenelli when you were writing her originally?

Pretty much all-encompassing love.

so i've been having a panic attack since i saw that huntress and power girl are being replaced but i can't find anything to conform or deny it can you like put this up so it can get soured

I didn’t know anything about it, either, but someone on this feed answered the question just a minute ago. They said that Power Girl and Huntress will be appearing in the Earth Two weekly still?

In your opinion, what do you think about Fire and Ice friendship?

I love it for a bunch of reasons.

First, female friendships that felt even remotely authentic were very rare, then. And I like that they were opposites and still stuck up for each other. 

I haven’t read those stories in years, but I used to cling to anything even remotely like a good portrayal of female friendship in comics. It was RARE.

It’s a big part of why I took Bop.

Meet Sammy!
Sammy’s had a rough time. As a puppy he was brought to Found (a WONDERFUL shelter in Chicago that I have the pleasure to work with), and has since been adopted five times, and returned each time. He has a history of aggression, biting people he’s unfamiliar with, destroying couches, and a bit of misandry (not a fan of giant men)… All of this led to him getting stuck in a kennel for four and a half years. He’s been taken care of to the best of our abilities, but it’s time for him to move on. I’ve expressed my interest in adopting him, and the shelter is running him through some extensive training to be sure he’s ready for adoption, and when he is… I’ll get a call. Now I can definitely afford having this dog, I’ve budgeted very carefully to be sure of that… but I’d like to be able to set him up in a real home with all the stuff he needs. That means a crate, bed, bowls, high quality food, storage containers, toys, a pinch collar, and so on. That in addition to the possible adoption fee (they haven’t decided whether or not they’re gonna just give him to me) is a LOT of money for a part-time worker. If you have the funds and the inclination, it would be great if you could help us out! He is already up-to-date on his shots and vaccienes, and is in perfect health!
He needs his forever home and if I have my way that’ll be with me!

Thoughts on the changes to "World's Finest"? Taking one of the best (not to mention ONLY) female-led books on the shelves and replacing the leads with two dudes...

Wait, what? Is this a real thing?

I had no idea.

I just saw the post with the covers of The Movement and I was like "Oh, cool, comic book covers are coo--HOLY SWEET LORD JESUS ON A MOTORCYCLE WHO IS THIS BLONDE SUPERHERO GIRL IN A WHEELCHAIR OH MY GOD OH MY GOD REPRESENTATION I MUST READ THIS DAMN BOOK".

I hope you like Vengeance Moth, she is very dear to my heart and NOW I MISS HER SO BAD.

Coming Soon to the New 52: Misfit 

This is a teaser trailer for Misfit’s return to the New 52. What will happen when Misfit bounces from one universe to the other? Will her alternate-universe allies welcome her with open arms? Or will they see her as a threat?

Dang.

That is freaking COOL.
