GailSimone
As a relative newcomer to MySpace/ComicSpace type things, I have to say, I really find them delightful. People seem incredibly kind, even weirdo freaks like Ed Brubaker and space mutants like Brian Bendis. I wish I could respond to each of the nice comments you guys have sent, but my editors would hunt me down and skin me like a thing that gets skinned sometimes.
So I decided I'd just respond to a bunch, completely at random, no thought to it at all, and then issue a blanket HELLO and THANK YOU! right here in this little section.
First, thanks so much for the support, and for reading my stuff. I get lectured from pro friends about this all the time, but I'm always pretty amazed ANYONE wants to read about my little weirdo characters and nasty little scenarios. Amazed but very very gratified and thankful.
Second, thanks for making yourself known, in ways other than mean little insults to people (readers and pros alike) on various message boards. I don't know what the people who love that shit get out of it, but it's a bit creepy and sad.
Third, thanks for posting about your own art, writing, and other creative endeavors. It's really enjoyable to read about those who are showing their affection for the industry in their own ways. I can't read fanfic or proposals, I'm sorry, but I'm happy to read work that is already published on the web or elsewhere, time permitting. But my opinions about the work will be honest, perhaps brutally so, so be prepared for that, and decide if that's really what you want, okay?
Again, time permitting, so it may take a while to get to. But I do wish you luck. Good LUCK!
Thanks again for reading my comics, if you do. If not, well, you can go straight to hell!
Also, for info about my comics, why not visit:
http://www.simoneindex.com/
(Thanks to the wonderful Sk716 for making that list for me!)
I also have a My Space page (that sucks): http://www.myspace.com/138795294
And a blog thingie: happystains.blogspot.com
ALSO! COMICS COMING UP SOON!
BIRDS OF PREY 104-107--Just a head's up. This issue (104) is going to sell out, and quickly. If you're not reading Bop, and you want to try it, PREORDER please. Trust me on this. ;)
TRANQUILITY #3: One of my favorite scripts ever. Hope you'll try it. Reviews for this series have been insane, comparing the book to such stellar works as TOP 10 and ASTRO CITY. Give it a shot!
GEN13 #5: Marks a bit of a turnaround for the kids, as they finally learn to cut each other just the tiniest bit of slack. All heading for the big finale to the first arc in issue #6!
ALL NEW ATOM #9: A very different kind of Atom story, as Ryan goes back to Kowloon to face his greatest fear.
DR. FATE: BLACK ALICE: I really love this, it's drawn quirkily and beautifully and the story is suitably bizarre. If you've liked Alice before, wait'll you see what she does on a typical school day!
There's more coming, a LOT more, including some Hollywood stuff. Stay tuned and I'll let you know more soon as I can!
If you miss any of these, you'll get leprosy of the dingdong, even if you're a girl. And you'll deserve it, you selfish, selfish little rutter.
Best wishes!
Gail

Gail, I love you and want to bear your children. Tranquility is perhaps one of my mostest favoritest books ever. I honestly didn't think you could top the first arc, but it just keeps going! Please, run away with me and we'll sit on the beach and sip pina coladas. Possibly even gulp them. No, wait - I think you and Dan Slott should get married and adopt me as your manchild. Then you both can tuck me in at night and tell me wonderful stories about superheroes and all the wacky hijinks they get up to! Ah, delightful. |

Thanks for the add. Like pretty much everyone else here, I just wanted to say you do great work. I've really enjoyed what you've done with Birds of Prey and I've loved Villains Unlimited. Deadshot's always been a favourite (since Suicide Squad) and Catman's intriguing me a bit.
Keep up the good work. And hopefully, I'll see you at Armageddon in Australia in October.

Hi Gail,
I recently picked up the Villians United TPB -- nothing like coming a few hours late to the party, huh? -- and I just wanted to shout a few words of appreciation for some dang fine storytelling. And Dr. Psycho brought copious amounts of laughter to the western foothills of Maine.
So yeah, thanks. A lot. |

Just wanted you to know I'm really digging "Welcome to Tranquility". I mean, I pick up "Birds of Prey" and "Gen-13" too but for some reason I can't get enough Tranquility. Thanks! :) |

Thanks for the add! I loved Villains United, and while I haven't read Welcome to Tranquility yet (because I haven't been to the store to pick up all the 5 issues I have reserved) I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it as well if its anything like that teaser story in Wildstorm#1. I'm looking forward to more Secret Six stories, and now that the sixth member is Harley, please don't kill any of them off for awhile. I like the roster as it is! Keep up the good work! |

Thanks for the add! As a hardcore LSH fan, your storyline in The Legion (wayyy back in '04 :-D) is one of my favorites. I can't wait for your run on Wonder Woman! |

CONGRATULATIONS on becoming the writer of Wonder Woman! You have NO idea how excited and thrilled I am! I cannot wait for your first issue! GOOD LUCK, and please do not let us down (although I am sure that you will not). =-D |

Congratulations on getting Wonder Woman! I've not followed Wonder Woman in quite some time but have just added it to my pull list. Good luck and best wishes! |

[ Posted by HeroUniverseComics on Apr 20th, 2007 2:11 AM ]...
Don't screw up with Wonder Woman. See, see what I did there? Now, if you do a good job, I can brag to everybody that I told you to do that. And if you screw up, I can be like, "Hey, it's not my fault, I told her not to." My ass is so covered. |

[ Posted by DorkKnights on Apr 19th, 2007 7:55 PM ]...
CONGRATS on getting Wonder Woman!!! She's always been my favorite hero, next to Batman, of course... and I'm really looking forward to you working your magic on that book!!! |

[ Posted by kitwalker53 on Apr 19th, 2007 12:39 PM ]...
Gail I look forward to you working on Wonder Woman. I recently took a try with your Birds of Prey and truly enjoyed the several I read. I would love to see WW match her Trinity brothers in popularity. Good luck. Lance |

I'm slow to get on the train, here, but I just want to say I'm thrilled at the news you'll be taking on Wonder Woman. If this doesn't finally get her the audience--and the treatment--she deserves, nothing will.
I hope this doesn't mean you're leaving BOP, though! |

Especially during the Lynda Carter years. ;)
Oh yeah, and Gail rules!
I await the return of Crazy Inez...someday...

Hi Gail, I`m work with PAulo Siqueira. I`m the ink of the Paulo. I like very much of your works, very cool. |

[ Posted by Palladin on Apr 14th, 2007 9:37 PM ]...
I will miss you on BoP. You have constantly delivered a great read since you started, been there all the way. I almost wish it was possible for you to write both, but I realize that Wonder Woman needs a focus that would not be served well by dividing attention between the two. I started with Wonder Woman during the "Sacrifice" Story and have been reading since. I have watched the missed oppurtunity with the character. I know that you will bring the main thing that has been needed on the book, consistancy. Your work ethic shows in how you have provided BoP in a timely manner and with outstanding tales of action, emotion, and life. Show the "boys club" how to make Wonder Woman the top icon she desevres to be. (I meant no desrespect by the term "boys club" so please accept it as a state of comics and not derogatory.) |

Congrats on landing WW. Hopefully (and I sure you can) you'll pull it out of the funk it's been in. Might have to start getting it again. |

[ Posted by BruceBuchanan on Apr 13th, 2007 11:53 AM ]...
Gee, thanks Gail. Now I'm going to have to take time out of my busy schedule to buy Wonder Woman every single month. And what about those poor accountants at D.C.? Don't you think they have better things to do than count all the money from those skyrocketing Wonder Woman sales? And I thought you cared.... |

Love the avatar, by the way. |

HA! BoP #104 just about exploded peoples brains! Look what you did Gail.
I can't wait to see how everyone reacts to the rest of the arc. I wanted to draw action and, by Jebus, that's what we get! KA-POW!! |
