I’ve just read new 52!Batgirl #4 and I swear my heart just leapt. okay, so there was a mention of Singapore and laksa a couple of issues ago, because Alysia Yeoh— Barbara Gordon’s new roommate— was born and grew up there. but in this issue she reminisces about Christmastime back home in Singapore and we get a bit of...

kellysue:
Could not be more excited to be working with Phil Noto and Patrick Thorpe on this. Can’t wait for you to see more!
Congratulations, Kelly Sue!
I couldn’t be happier with this creative team, on this particular character.
I know it’s going to rock socks all around the blocks!
Dang.
This is going to sound weird, maybe, but I am a huge Monkees fan. I don’t care about the Monkeemania or any of that stuff, I really like their music. I have all their albums and listen to them regularly. I discovered them during an MTV retrospective years after they had broken up and was fascinated by their voices.
They could have just been the boy band of their day. That was what they were...

So I plan on meeting Gail Simone at a Free Comic Book Day event in Clermont, FL. I have been trying to figure out what books to bring to get signed! I just reread her Wonder Woman run and really enjoyed so many of them. I’ve just pulled Birds of Prey #56 out of the box to start rereading her BoP…

Totally not going to leave a comment. This is my way of not leaving a comment on a specific comics blog. It’s good for two reasons: nothing I say in a comment will change the writer’s opinion, and I get to have this off of my chest on my own terms and move on.
This headline: “It had to…
Well said, Chris.
Also, you and Richard rock.

Catman/Deadshot
Did you ever consider making Catman and Deadshot romantically involved with each other? The bromance angle was superb, but I always wondered if you considered it. — iskios
To be honest, not really. I knew Catman was bi, he revealed that to me very early on. But I really couldn’t find anything in the canon to support Deadshot reciprocating. Part of my writing of Birds of Prey and Secret...
youcrashquims asked: Hi! Just dropping a line to tell you you are awesome. I remember you from the Bendis Board when I was there, and the Catman/Bendis fan letters. You win the internet.

A Goofy Problem To Have
Okay, I’m going to be at a couple of lovely stores in Florida for Free Comic Book Day (Hello, Yancy Street Comics! Hello, Heroes Landing!).
I’m excited. I’ve only been to one comic-related event in Florida and it was at a college, so I’ve never really gotten to meet the readers in that area. Can’t wait!
Some of you may know, I am a ridiculous theme park nerd, I love...

Villains United On Sale
I very rarely do this, but the VIllains United mini that started the Secret Six is on sale for just four days at the DC digital site.these issues are hard to find, and getting them for 99 cents each seems like a really good deal.
Just passing it along, since I so often read of people wanting to try the book out!
Otherwise, please excuse my momentary shameless hucksterism. ;)

I have 10 new submissions to THIS moments for women in comics.
As promised, If I get 15 more by the end of today I’ll give away this and some other stuff to one submitter.
And by the way if you saw a comment from me about Catwoman on Robot6? It wasn’t me. Someone…
Woo hoo! :D
shaolinsuckerpunch:
Gail Simone followed my blog today! I thought that simple gesture was the best thing since frozen yogurt. It really made my day to have one of my favorite writers find my thoughts and what not worth following. Gail rocks not only as a writer but also as a very cool person.
I feel like my blog should have a classy bow tie on it or something. Maybe a rose to spiffy it up.

Dearest tumblr...

…anyone have any good Jeannette LJ icons? I’ve checked the comic LJ comms but there are pretty much NO Secret Six icons that I could find. Anyone? Help?
Can anyone help my friend and ultimate Jeannette fan (she cosplays Jeannette her own self, too!)?
fyeahlilbitoeverything asked: Just to mention for the DC Nation thing, they confirmed that besides the Super BFFs they're doing shorts for Black Lightning and Vibe, who are black and Latino respectively. And I think the next Batman cartoon is airing on DC Nation as well and that has Katana in a lead role. It's not ideal but at least they are trying to toy with characters who are lesser known and not white.
spiral-shark asked: When talking about DC Nation, I know they probably intend to start with the more popular/iconic characters, but what are the chances, you think, of pushing some of the more diverse characters into the public eye through television, hopefully leading to a stronger comic following?

Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled…
What a hideously awful story.
Batgirl!: Lauren Faust Interview about Super Best... →
fyeahbatgirl:
here at io9
Some quotes from the interview:
According to Faust, there are five episodes of SBFF, and they’re each only a minute and 15 seconds long — just long enough for to set up and resolve one really good joke.
As for where the concept came from originally, she says she was…
Urgh, want to see this SO BAD.
DC Nation Cartoon Stuff
Wow.
Contrary to common expectation, we who work in comics rarely get to see the promos for spin-off shows and films until everyone else does. And I haven’t really been paying attention, I admit.
But I can’t wait to see this DC Nation stuff.
Young Justice, Plastic Man, Batgirl and Supergirl, Green Lantern, Teen Titans…all the sketches and trailers look like a blast.
And it...
Dang It.
Okay, I had to watch COMMUNITY because people on Tumblr keep talking about it.
And now I love it and have to watch every episode.
Thanks a lot, Tumblheads!
Wow. Never Do This, I Guess. Or Maybe Do It Lots.
I went looking for a particular old email…it was in an old email address I haven’t used in years, that I used when I first got the internet, way before I turned pro.
I haven’t gone back, couldn’t even remember the password for a long time. The first thing I noticed was I was even more annoying back then than I am now.
But it was the day after the anniversary of Dwayne...
