DC Women Kicking Ass: Cool new Wiki highlights... →
dcwomenkickingass:
The awesome Tumblr “Ladies Making Comics” has created a Wiki that focuses on female comic creators.
Women working in comics is not a new thing but their contributions are sometimes not as well known. For example, Kryptonite as a weapon against Superman? Created by a woman — Dorothy Woolfolk…

Okay, been meaning to do this for a while, but had to get to a spot where we had a little time to weigh the options.
I’m assuming most of the people reading this particular tumblr know who Oracle is, but just in case, she’s the DCU’s primary infojock. She is the daughter of Commissioner James…

Your revenge-gay could be the one that changes the world!
This is, of course, the best kind of gay of all. GAY FROM SPITE. Do you know how much spite that requires? A LOT. We could end the global fuel crisis with this level of spite. But these folks are putting it into REVENGE-GAY. This is a very serious...
Want To Help Out With DC's New Letters Columns?
I’m totally excited by this…as many of you know, DC is bringing back the letters pages to their comics. Contrary to what a lot of people say, this is NOT the same as a message board. It’s a whole different kind of correspondence, I feel, and I’m delighted to see it come back. If you’d like to have a letter appear in a DC comic, and stand alongside the famous...
Happy Birthday, Clowny Princess!
Happy birthday to one of the funniest, smartest and most talented women I know, the great Harley Quinn from Down Under: http://clownyprincess.tumblr.com/
If you like DC Comics, or Harley Quinn, or the Joker, or Batman, or burlesque, or cosplay, or general wonderfulness, go FOLLOW that gal and wish her a happy birthday here. Also, much thanks to her for never putting up with sexist or racist or...

I will be angry if you DON’T!
Revenge-gay for the WIN AT EVERYTHING!

Yeah, and, it’s personal so I didn’t mention it in the previous post, but Scandal being gay doesn’t have anything to do with resenting her father. She’s gay because she’s gay. She’s not revenge-gay, she’s I-like-women-gay.

I know this may not sit well with my followers, hell even the tumblr community at large, but what I’m about to write is honest-to-god how I feel about homosexuality in comics. This isn’t a grab at attention, and I’m certainly not attempting to “troll” any individual or group in distaste.

Urgh.

About Bane In The Bat-movie
Okay, people have been asking me this non-stop since it was announced last week, what are my opinions about the casting of Bane.
First, I’m pretty much pop culture ignorant. I don’t know much about the actor in question.
And second, I’m conflicted. Here’s why.
I don’t know Tom Hardy, I don’t know much about him. I’m told he was in Inception and Star...
serinnoir asked: My friend and I were discussing Jeannette and we were wondering just how 'dead' she is? Does she eat? Does she need to breath?
fyeahlilbitoeverything asked: Okay, this is gonna sound stupid, but if you do redesign Oracle's wheelchair, have you thought about adding pockets for her to hide stuff like her Escrima Sticks?
A Book I Love Is Out Today!
Sorry if this is shameless, but, well, I can’t help it this one time.
One of my favorite tpb collections of my work ever comes out today. Secret Six: Cats in the Cradle.
I love the mix in this collection. It has the critically acclaimed title arc, a story that shows Catman still has a lot of demons left in him. I’m terribly proud of this story, and I think it’s some of...
Is Bane The Best Dad In the DCU?
I’d rather have Bane for a Dad than Batman.
At least I know if someone was mean to me, Bane would snap their spine like a twig, while Batman would go off to share oddly unfunny gags with the Joker!
I think the best dad is Commissioner Gordon.
THEN it’s Bane. :)
blackalice asked: What is Black Alice's favorite tea?
dremmy-deactivated20110417 asked: This has been bugging me for a while. The DC Universe would be considered a more technologically advanced universe than our own. (I guess you can say the same for Marvel.) So why doesn't Barbara Gordon get cybernetic suit that allows her to walk again? It's not like its impossible for her to get. She has plenty of friends that will pay for (or provide for free) the operation. Is she...
Colleen Doran Sampler
Comics Legend COLLEEN DORAN is offering an awesome sampler of her work…comics, a DVD, and an LOTR print for just $27.95, which includes shipping. She will sign and personalize for free upon request, too! This is a wonderful way to get some rare goodies at a steal from one of the greats.
Colleen is one of my very favorite artists and most of these items are hard to find, making this a...
Suicide Queers: Establishment →

Given the recent incident with Suicide Girls, and them not only voicing and enforcing their transphobic policy, but accompanying it with very ignorant and cisnormative regulation, I felt as though there should be an outlet where all trans or generally queer people would be able to share in having…

Okay, been meaning to do this for a while, but had to get to a spot where we had a little time to weigh the options.
I’m assuming most of the people reading this particular tumblr know who Oracle is, but just in case, she’s the DCU’s primary infojock. She is the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon, and was Batgirl for a number of years. In the graphic novel, A KILLING JOKE,...
ARGGGH.
Good LORD, I am sick of the casual transphobia that people throw around, the same people that would be horrified if you called them racist or sexist.
Dear Assheads,
Someday, you might, by accident or intent, grow a conscience. And then, you will regret treating these people as your personal punchline.
Until then, I have no use for you whatsoever.

gailsimone:
I have been asked to write an article on what I think were the ‘definitive’ moments of each Bird of Prey in my run (they are only asking about my stories in particular, here). I have my own ideas about this, but I could use a few suggestions. Do you have any candidates for a specific beat, one…
For me, I found the scene when Huntress realised how Barbara was...
Happy, Happy, Happy!
About Birds of Prey!
I understand that frustration about the many artists doing the book. The truth is, life just punched a bunch of our favorite artists in the face at JUST the wrong time. Illnesses, family emergencies, serious problems that they couldn’t foresee or avoid.
Life happens.
In the meantime, we’ve been fighting to find the RIGHT person to take over the book. We had a...
Hooray!
My niece, who is a minor, finally came out to her sole guardian, her grandmother. The much-feared drama and denial apparently never manifested, and it appears to be a big relief for both of these people I love.
SO I AM HAPPY.

I never thought about them together. And now I do. Renee and Scandal By hildebabble
That is SO CUTE. And really well drawn, too.
I have to get those two together for something! There would be some amazing chemistry.

I was sitting next to Renee Montoya who kept trying to pass a note to me and I was so worried that Gail or Dwayne would catch us. During a break, Renee and I had to stop a lunch-room fight between...

more importantly, why do i always read them when i’m reading back issues of comics that dare to have queer relationships in them. there is always at least - AT LEAST - one person writing in a massive letter about how why can’t they have one book where sexuality isn’t an issue, JUST ONE, why do…

fyeahlilbitoeverything asked: Hello Ms. Simone.
Like last week, you responded to something on Comic Book Secrets by saying that there were plans for Cass Cain and the Question to appear in Birds of Prey.
Any chance one of them is the "Fan favorite guest-star" that the March solicit says is going to appear at the end of the Death of Oracle?

Black Canary by Gene Ha
dcwomenkickingass:
Someone asked if I ever posted any Black Canary. Nope, never. XD
Yeah, yeah, beautiful, right? It’s amazing, isn’t it?
Guess who owns that piece because Gene Ha drew it for me as a trade for writing something in his friend’s journal?
You may begin the jealousy now. ;)
I’d be jealous! It’s a Gene Ha Black Canary!
