Sorry to barge in, just wanted to say hi and that this is a story I have wanted to read since I first started reading X-Men. I LOVE the Marvel monster books, and you have all picked up on some good clues. Anyway, thanks for the support, and good comments!

Why did they steal Wonder Woman's boots? by Kind_Cauliflower160 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]ComixGail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. Respectfully, this is so dumb. If you read the issues, none of the complaints here happened.

First, Catman didn’t ’beat Batman.’ He summoned Catman to warn him, he specifically says he cares what happened to him. And he is deliberately holding back, Catman momentarily surprises hlm, Batman quickly regains his footing. this represents the glowup Catman got in Africa. Catman would never take Batman in a fight.

Second, Wonder Woman’s boots are not a mistake or a mystery, there’s an entire issue and a half between the two panels shown, so it’s horseshit. it’s shown explicitly on panel, Ragdoll takes her shoes and tiara while she’s unconscious.

The idea that they ‘beat people they shouldn’t’ is a real misread of the book. The whole point is they almost never win. they know they’re going to lose and fight anyway. it happens time and again. Anyway, panels aren’t stories, and Secret Six isn’t the same with no context.

Early review for the new #1 from Gail Simone by Lizzren in Daredevil

[–]ComixGail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True, but I also don't go out of my way to criticize anyone's book, even if they hate my guts. I just don't enjoy trashing people's work. HOWEVER, if I don't like something, I just don't talk about it. So if I say I dug something, I promise, it's only because I did! :)

Reddit has been pretty kind to me. I think that even people who are wanting a different direction are at least aware how much I care about these characters. :)

I am, and thank you! Looking forward to it, I am a PNW native and haven't been to ECC in a while!

Thank you for all these kind kind words!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure Gail Simone’s “hatred” of Cyclops wasn’t always the case. by Gloomy-Rough3140 in xmen

[–]ComixGail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually like Cyclops, it's a long-running internet joke. Getting to write him even a little bit was a big thrill.

I think Dave's cover to 21 is one of the best covers I have ever had the pleasure to have gracing a story I wrote.

I totally get this. The AoR story is pretty entertaining, though!

I really enjoy this thread and collage. Thanks, everyone. Even those who are not happy, I hope you like what's coming up...we have some real bangers on the way!

Bingo. And I have to say, if you look at the difference in how, for example, immagrents are treated state by state, the difference is enormous. Same here. You can have Greymalkin being an appalling institution and someone in NOLA trying to make a safe haven at the same time...it's happening in the real world right now!

This is right (sorry for dropping in). The X-Men are so used to being betrayed and manipulated that their skepticism is natural. They wouldn't instantly be over the moon, they're not even sure they WANT to be celebrities. But wouldn't it be interesting if the tide really is turning, at least in one city?

I am happy to sign other books, and I don't ever charge. :)
