Gail, everybody knows that the skrongest superhero is Hulk. Hulk skrongest there is.

Look. Hulk is skrong. I’m not arguing that he’s not skrong.

But Superman is EXTRA-skrong. I say Superman is the skrongest.

Hello! Since much of the pre-52 stuff is out of print, I've made a bit of a mission to get your Birds of Prey, Wonder Women (and Rucka's, also Cass and Steph Batgirls) trades and complete my Secret Six trades. I just read the Reptile Brain, and it was snaz

It’s the same Tremor, but yes, she’s a little bit younger in the Movement.

I miss Scandal and Ragdoll, too!

I often wonder who the skrongest superhero is! :)

Well, if you are sad, this should cure you.

Two of the world’s best things, here. Lovely!

That Katharsis fanart is making me wonder - do you even have the ability to create or write a female character who isn't insanely cute? :P

Heh.

I am not sure if this is a fun question or a serious question.

If it’s a fun question, I like characters who have an adorable side, even if they are horrible people, generally.

If it’s a serious question, there are a few characters coming up in the Movement who are not traditionally cute, I guarantee it!

But I am blessed to work with artists who just draw adorable people. :)

Hi Gail... so I was thinking today how The Movement is a team that's predominantly women, AND predominantly people of racial/ethnic/(dis)ability minority and *probably* sexual/gender minority too (so far we know Tremor is ace but not if anyone else is quee

I’m kinda hesitant to make that claim because I am not a comic book scholar, and there may well be a hero team out there somewhere that I don’t know about that has more diversity as a percentage. I don’t know of one, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

I also don’t want to compare various efforts to have more diversity, I am happy that there was a team like, say, the new X-men, when all the teams out there were almost exclusively white.

I am happy we got to make a team that has as much diversity as the Movement has. It makes me happy, I know it makes a lot of readers happy.  That’s what counts to me. I applaud all efforts to broaden the scope of the characters in comics.

I mainly want the characters to be ones people can care about. :)

Vengeance Moth Fan Art

My best approximation of Vengeance Moth from DC Comics “The Movement” written by Gail Simone

I’ve never posted anything on Tumblr before, but Gail Simone requested fan art for The Movement so I’m going to give it a try.

This is so cute! Ven gets a spotlight in issue five, and this is almost exactly the outfit she is wearing!

Hi, Gail! I am so digging the Movement right now, it reminds me a combo of Secret Six and Young Avengers. It's so great. I think Katharsis is probably my favorite. Are we going to learn her civilian name/alter ego in the series? Or does she have one?

Katharis’ secret id is Kulap Vilaysack!
