Untitled: Okay. Here's The Thing.
If you have done MOVEMENT fan art, the Movement team would love to see it.
Because of…reasons.
We’re hoping to link to some Movement fan art, I have seen a few pieces and I know some others are being worked on. We just thought it’d be fun to link to, for those who might enjoy…
Ack, so great!
Planning to cosplay as Katharsis for NYCC, this year. At the mall, at the moment. Going g to shop around some more, for cosplaying items. ;)
THAT is VERY ambitious! Wings and everything?
If anyone can't get copies of The Movement (or whatever comic title) because of discriminatory practices, great or small, on the part of a comic shop owner/employee, I am perfectly willing to grab them at my local shop, bag them up, and send them to the pe
That is what I love about the comics community, there are people like you out there!
This is bugging me, as well. I hate the thought of a comics store in THIS era being rude to female customers. So IGNORANT.

I recently bought and read The Movement #1 and I'm dying to know who the girl in the wheelchair on the cover is, I can't find anything about her anywhere. Are we going to find out about her in issue #2? I'm holding out hope for an Oracle 2.0.
Can’t say too much, but that’s Vengeance Moth, and yes, she debuts next issue! :)

Step 1. Read Gail Simone’s new book, The Movement (available in digital at comixology.com or from you local comic shop).
Step 2. Tell me what you think.
My take: Simone’s funneled populist outrage through a halftone filter, which is pretty damn thought provoking.
The premise: there’s something heroic in the idea that our cynicism and belief that the better world we seek lies not in the mediated rhetoric or appointed/elected agents of our institutions, but within our own willingness to finally stop complaining and take some responsibility for the world we live in.
This is dangerous stuff, people.
It’s the same impulse that led to Selma, to the Seattle worker’s strike, to suffrage, to India’s overthrow of colonial rule.
But it’s also the impulse that led to prohibition, to lynchings, to book burnings, and vigilante attacks against outsiders throughout history.
In other words, the why and the how are pretty damn important when it comes to populism.
I’ll be interested to see how Simone considers the morality of the people through the lens of a comic.
What do you think?
Great post.
I do consider the morality of all characters…I just don’t think anyone ends up purely on the side of the angels in this book.

People with a fear of rats might want to skip a page of next issue…

I love this page of art, so brutal and chaotic, but still clearly fantasy art.
Katharsis is awesome.
I'm having a difficulty. None of the sites I usually default to for comics seem to have The Movement available for purchase, and the owners of my local comic shop are exceptionally rude to female customers, so I won't buy anything from them. Where can I bu
Wow. Your shop is rude to female customers? That is inexcusable and insulting. Grrrr!
I don’t buy physical comics on the web very often, does anyone have a suggestion for mail order for Geekghostgirl?
And I know the digital version is available at the DC site and comixology. Good luck!
Just Got the Cover to Movement Five
And it’s a Virtue solo piece, and I swear, she looks so hot she almost melted my monitor.
I LOVE that girl!
