“It’s because we’re heroes.”

“Damn us all to hell.”

I started feeling very weird about the meaningless savagery of some comic book heroes, even the most supposedly moral.

My feeling is, yes, have them fight. But goddammit, have them fight for SOMETHING. Make it MEAN something. Make it hurt, make it have consequences.

I don’t think that’s too much to ask as a reader.

This isn't a question, but it just needed to be said that you are way up on the list of flat out best people in the world. Thank you for being awesome. I look forward to meeting you at MegaCon.

I’m not at all but thank you and looking forward to it!

Dying of cuteness

I HOLLERED! 

I can’t take these babies!

Also, holy crap if these kids don’t grow up to be superstar celebrities, I owe everyone a cookie.

When not writing comic books, Gail Simone has a very successful career in shutting bigots the fuck up.

There’s been a LOT of them over recent developments.

I think they think I’ll shut up eventually.

I love this page from my Wonder Woman run…Diana as matchmaker for Achilles!

That’s my favorite page of the storyline.  I had such high hopes for this.  I really, really, really, really, thought Achilles would be a star.  He had such potential. 

Achilles HAS appeared in the new52 and Dan DiDio really likes him, so don’t give up on us yet! If I get to write him, he will be doing awesome stuff on Day One!

Fun Stuff to Do in Australia Suggestions?

I am looking for cool stuff to do in Australia, as I will be spending a month there shortly in the areas of the Gold Coast, Melbourne, and Perth for two cons of Supanova and Swancon (that’s the one in Perth).

Any cool suggestions? I should have lots of free time!

We love the outdoors, animals, theme parks, history, nature, cool art and museums, and local stuff.

Thanks!

EDITED because I foolishly got the names of two cons mixed up. I will be at all three of these events, but the con in Perth is called SWANCON, and sounds like huge fun. Octocon is a different event, in Dublin, that I will be attending!
