Oh, Man
I got to write one of my very favorite and unfortunately obscure characters this week: Kho Kharhi.
What a blast.
I can see why those GL dudes always seem to be enjoying themselves so much!
“Against dishonor and traitor’s flight
I stand beside my clan to fight
With dying breath, I claw and bite
Beware my power, GREEN LANTERN’S LIGHT!”
There Might Be a Problem With Soul Calibur V
When I realized I like the clothes in the game better than the game itself.

Man, I Was Grouchy Yesterday
I was mad all day yesterday about this Gary Friedrich thing, and it made me grumpy. If I grumped at anyone, my apologies. The whole thing is really upsetting.
Still hoping Marvel does the right thing, here. I know they are capable of it, and I am certain they don’t WANT to force the creator of Ghost Rider to pay money he can’t afford, especially right before a major motion picture...
darkestknight32 asked: Gail. today I bought my comics in my local store and they told me they don't stock Batwoman or Batgirl because they don't sell. I was quite shocked because figures had showed that they sell quite well in previous months. I was wondering if you would have something to say to stores who won't order a book or promote it due to their perception of sales figures. My previous comic...

This thing can work! The very talented Jerry Malichar emailed me in response to the first idea I submitted on this Tumblr blog - after some back and forth I got this beautiful sketch in my inbox of the as-yet-unnamed future villains I’ve had in my head for years. I still can’t stop…

A Ryan Choi Question
Someone mentioned this…Ryan still has a very vocal fanbase, but I can’t recall seeing a ton of Ryan fanart, except when I was in Singapore.
IS there Ryan Choi fanart and I just am not seeing it?

One of my heroes, the legendary Colleen Doran, has agreed kindly to draw a commissioned piece for me. She’s personalizing by making it a character I have written.
This is mind-blowing in itself, because not only is Colleen a RIDICULOUSLY gifted artist, she is a hero of mine, a woman who never…

New artist on Birds of Prey - Saiz off, Foreman on
dcwomenkickingass:
The Source has announced that in May Jesus Saiz will be moving off of Birds of Prey and on to Resurrection Man. Travel Foreman will be moving from Animal Man to Birds of Prey.
All good artists, but this musical chairs is not a good sign.
Below is a look at Foreman’s take on the Birds as well as the cover for issue 9 by Saiz.
Wow, that art is very pretty, but I will...

There’s some heart stopping stuff coming up, things that very rarely get touched on in superhero comics. I am excited!

Blah! Bad Dialogue! BAD!
Bad dialogue is my pet peeve…I can take almost anything if the dialogue is crisp.
I am reading a book my sister suggested. It’s about shoe-aholics.
And this line is in it.

YIKES.

Like pretty much all white American writers, I have definitely screwed up and gotten stuff wrong in the past. But it does bug me hugely that so many groups of readers have little or no representation in comics.
