Gail Simone reads a hair-raising comic and does not appreciate the “hair-raising” part!

Heh.

Do you KNOW the amount of product it took to get my hair to do that on a windy Oregon day?

HAPPY READ COMICS IN PUBLIC DAY!  Show us your GEEK, everyone!

DC Women Kicking Ass: Big Barda or Honey Badger: Who Gives a Shit Less?:

Today is Jack Kirby’s birthday so let’s celebrate one of his greatest creations, Barda Free. How tough is Barda? Pretty tough.

Oh look someone shot Barda. Oh is that blood? Barda doesn’t give a shit. “What’s for lunch?” she asks.

Six villains in hot pursuit? Barda doesn’t care. Watch your…

Big Barda is the best. The Best. Better than anybody. 

I would write Barda EVERY DAY if I could.

So Superman and Lois are now 'never likely to date' according to AP. Next time you're in New York, would you mind walking into DC's editorial office and punching everyone in the face?

I don’t want to punch people, but I do think they are underestimating the importance of Lois.

Barbara: So what’s the deal? Get it? Deal? You’re holding a card? Genius is never recognized in it’s time.

LOVE YOU, BABS!

Why Is It...

…whenever anyone says they are an ally, it’s almost always followed by something horrible, and is contextualized by the notion that they are super-special and everything is about them?

Feh.

My Hubby's Birthday Is Today!

He is the love of my life. We have had lots of struggles, and times when we were really poor, but we always had each other and that made all the difference.

Happy birthday, Scott! I wouldn’t trade you for a truck full of corgis!

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Ed Benes.

I know, I know, he draws butts.

But holy crap. You will not believe what I am looking at.

He drew issue zero, I think he was still acclimating to a difficult script set in different time periods. It looks great, some looks amazing.

But with issue fourteen, he…

Oh, man, I am so sorry. I don’t even USE tags, so I had no idea that I accidentally tagged that post as Secret Six.  An honest mistake, have NO idea how I did that.

Ed is drawing BATGIRL. And he is SLAYING on it. When he draws the upcoming Joker story, it is going to PIERCE YOUR BRAIN.

I Am SO Not Kidding

Ed Benes.

I know, I know, he draws butts.

But holy crap.  You will not believe what I am looking at.

He drew issue zero, I think he was still acclimating to a difficult script set in different time periods. It looks great, some looks amazing.

But with issue fourteen, he planted a flag. I am looking at a fight scene he drew for this issue and is is MIND-blowing. I have written hundreds and hundreds of fight scenes.

I can think of maybe a HANDFUL that blew my brains out like this one. There’s a double page spread that I swear, I can’t stop looking at. I can’t close that window, I just keep going back to it.

I honestly can’t wait for people to see this. People who hate him likely will continue to hate him, I get that, that’s just how personal taste works.  It’s fine.

But some of these page are among the best any artist has ever turned in for one of my scripts. I am in a bit of awe right now.

Holy crap

Tomorrow is Read Comics in Public Day!

Tomorrow is Read Comics in Public Day!:

themarysue:

I’ve got quite a few things to do this evening, from making dinner, washing the rest of last week’s dishes, and hitting the gym for another round of my optimistically cosplay related workout routine of trying to get some definition in my arms before I dress up as a genderswapped version of Bane (which reminds me, I didn’t do my twenty-five pushups yesterday). But tomorrow… Tomorrow I have a very specific task to complete: read a comic book in public. And you should seriously consider putting it on your to-do list as well, and maybe even sending us some pictures. Here’s why!

I love this event. It’s a ton of fun, please participate!

deviouslyratedm:

I don’t know what made me do this, but now Bane is a Giant Sunbear and Scandal is a Red HoneyBadger and this is how they sleep shut up.

I…

I think that is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
