DC Women Kicking Ass: Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore Announce Kickstarter For "Leaving Megapolis"
Earlier this week I wrote about how much I love Kickstarter as it empowers me to help get comics that I want to read made. And now here’s another great example. I thought that Secret Six was month in and month out the best team book DC produced. But unfortunately the book got cancelled as part…
Thank you so much, guys…watching people pledge so fast, it’s very emotional.
People have been asking for Jim and I to work together again, and this is, well, it’s very special to both of us. It’s rough and tumble, it’s dark and funny and I just absolutely love it.
Thank you SO MUCH for the support!
Um.
Holy crap.
I am so excited about this my head just exploded.

So Scandal Savage is easily one of my favorite characters from one of my all time favorite comic series “Secret Six” by Gail Simone, (featuring some drop dead gorgeous art from Nicola Scott!!). And I just HAD to do some fan art, I just recently reread it and I got bit by the bug! If you haven’t read her Secret Six series, you GOTTA, I hope it ends up in the DCNU in some fashion, I miss those guys and gals.
I also want to draw Jeanette! Because she is just too awesome for this universe!
I tried a more classic coloring with this, instead of my wild colors on “The Evil Queen” Though I may try a color like that on this soon hmm!
Wow!
Look at this beautiful piece of art! I love it!
BEAUTIFUL colors and pose! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Why You Need To Go To Geek GIrl Con This Weekend!
1) It’s the only full-on geek convention with a focus on not just dudes! Dudes are great, we all love dudes, but this con celebrates female and non-binary folks like no other convention I have attended. The vibe is magnificent, fun, supportive, and wildly creative. Last year was the first year ever, they sold out both days, AND it was one of the most fun and best-run conventions I’ve ever been invited to!
2) Guests, baby! I will be there, but also people like Greg Rucka, Jen Van Meter, Ashley Eckstein, Jane Espenson, game maker Corrinne Yu and real life superhero Purple Reign! We, and many others, will be doing signings and panels, and just having a ridiculously good time.
3) Programming! Aside from the stuff mentioned above, they have improv, a singalong, a concert, a masquerade, AND a closing ceremony where they will be premiering the WONDER WOMEN: THE UNTOLD HISTORY OF AMERICAN SUPERHEROINES documentary, that I am in, along with lots of others…I’ve seen parts of it and it’s absolutely great!
4) Location! It’s in beautiful Seattle, this weekend. It’s located near lots of great restaurants, and is close to Pike Street Market and the Space Needle, just to name a couple fun landmarks.
5) FUN! Seriously, last year, I blathered on endlessly about this…this is a con like no other. It’s positive, imaginative, and smart as hell, even the merch is gorgeous. There are all the things you like about most cons, and none of the things you hate about most cons. It’s a wonderful, fun experience. There are game rooms, as well,which I heard were a blast last year.
6) Connections! This year, they are doing a thing called Geek Girl Connections, where aspiring geeks who want to work in various geek fields can come and talk to successful people in those fields. I, for example, will be reviewing portfolios and talking to aspiring writers one on one, and there are lots of other pros there in lots of different disciplines.
It’s just a great time, and kind of a dream come true…I spoke with Trina Robbins last year, and she said she could never have GUESSED that something like this would EVER exist.
You want to come see it!
Geekgirlcon.com!
Ps. Dudes are very welcome, they will have a great time as well!

Dang. You know what?
I kinda wish this had been the actual cover copy, in this lettering, too. VERY COOL!

She bangs him once and he’s ready to crown her empress of Gotham. Guy’s gotta get out more.
I swear, they were just playing Boggle.

Yay! MY GIMPY LIFE
Teal Sherer, who kicks major ass, is doing a new webseries called MY GIMPY LIFE, where she humorously covers the difficulties involved with dealing with being an actress in Hollywood, while being in a wheelchair.
She is one of the funniest, dearest people ever, and I absolutely adore her. She did a video skewering the whole Batgirl/Oracle thing that was just painfully snide and awesome. You might also know her as VENOM from the GUILD.
She, in short, rocks.
And the show is a screaming riot. Go look, two episodes are up already!

“One of the dead, Prakash Singh, was a priest who recently immigrated to the United States with his wife and two young children, said Justice Singh Khalsa, a temple member since the 1990s. Relatives of Kaleka, the president of the temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, said Monday that he was killed fighting the attacker. “From what we understand, he basically fought to the very end and suffered gunshot wounds while trying to take down the gunman,” said Kanwardeep Singh Kaleka, his nephew. “He was a protector of his own people, just an incredible individual who showed his love and passion for our people, our faith, to the end,” the nephew said, near tears. “He was definitely one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever seen, one of the happiest people in the world.”
