Apr 06Gail Simone is leaving Birds of Prey!
This is a super bummer, as her writing on that title really convinced me that comics were, y’know, getting GOOD again. She will be missed, even if new writer Sean McKeever comes along and does a kick-ass job, which I hope he will.
However, the teases about Gail’s next “big” project…fascinating. Everyone seems convinced it’s Wonder Woman, which would be fantastic, but the Newsarama thread has a few other nice theories: the Marvel Family, Blackhawk, and my favorite, a new JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL title.
Why else would she bring Ice back from the dead?! All we need is for Ted Kord to be alive and well on one of those other rumored Earths they keep teasing, and we’d be all set.
Bwah to the ha to the ha.
Aside from writing a new JLI, a good reason to bring Ice back is that you’re about to write Guy Gardner in some series or another, and you want to rekindle the romance. Or you’re about to write a series with Fire and want the relationship back.
Hmm…interesting. Maybe a Simone-penned JLofA in which she gets to use a few of her JLI favorites?
I could see Fire shuffling off Checkmate’s stage, but I kinda hope they leave Guy Gardner in Green Lantern Corps–I like that title, and I like him as the central character of it. He’s sorta the Sipowitz of the GLC.
Well, I was thinking she’d get to pen either Checkmate or GLC.
you have officially Blown My Mind.
