Do you think he is a shark?

That’s King Shark.

He’s a SHARK.

As someone who's written and known Babs for a long while, now (both in the chair and under the cowl), are there any good moments between her and Damian? I ask this, because I don't believe I've ever read anything that had the two interact with one other. W

Barbara and Damian have not had as much shared face time as the rest of the cast, it’s true. No scenes leap to mind in particular.

Hello, Gail. You're amazing, just want to throw that out there right off the bat. I was wondering, in regards to the upcoming trans character that will be appearing in one of your books: is the character a trans man or a trans woman? I'm not sure if you ha

I want to answer this SO BAD but I think I am going to have to keep my secrets here for a little while, sorry!  Just a few weeks!

And I say both need to be represented.

Gail, what are your personal thoughts on the death of Robin? I gotta know.

Truthfully, character deaths always make me sad. Which I think is what is the objective, really.

It has to be a HUGELY good story for me to forgive killing a great character in the dcu. I haven’t gotten to read the issue yet, so more than that, I really can’t say yet.

I know you won't give any big details away, but are we going to see Barbara branch out into new relationships (either romantic or just friendships or both) in the new few issues?

Yep, starting almost right away…things start happening in issue 20, and her personal life gets a real close look, as well!

I dare you to go to the heterophobia tag and post your reaction.

What? This is a real thing?

I might be behind, but I have just been so busy lately, but is there any truth to the fact that you are planning or have planned to put a trans character into your Batgirl book? If so is there any possibility that we could get a hint as to who? I would lov

No worries at all!  There is definitely a trans character coming in one of my books in the next couple months. It’s a character I dearly love and I think others will as well. AND that’s not the end of the story, either. But I can’t spoil anything else yet!

What are your thoughts on the fact that if any character is introduced in any form of media as someone who isn't a white, middle aged, straight, cisgender, Christian, male that people will attack the character for only being created to be PC or that the cr

I think we shouldn’t give ignorant people a moment’s more thought than they deserve.

Which is not very much thought at all.

Seriously, who cares what those people think? If they set the agenda, there would be no Storm, no Apollo and Midnighter, no Static, no Kitty Pryde, no Spawn, no Renee Montoya, no Oracle, no Scandal Savage, on and on.

They lose.

Love You Guys

Thank you so much for the support during the weirdest and most exciting period of my career in comics. So MUCH cool stuff is coming I can’t even explain it.  The first leg of the Gail Simone Happy Fun Time Tour starts this weekend!

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
