The last few weeks in videogame culture have seen a level of combativeness more marked and bitter than any beforehand.
First, a developer—a woman who makes games who has had so much piled on to her that I don’t want to perpetuate things by naming her—was the target of a harassment campaign that…
As an ex-journo turned internet-monkey, I’ve spent the last week carefully toying with the idea of producing a video about the belief that the traditional games media is ethically compromised and/or corrupt.
After much consideration, I’ve decided that this would be a massive waste of time…
I am really really hoping that Rosario Dawson’s mystery role on Daredevil is as Misty Knight, extends through the other series’, and turns into a lead role in a Heroes for Hire series in a phase 2 that also includes She-Hulk
How do you feel about the response to the new Batgirl design? Just looking on Tumblr, I'm... Really impressed and amazed at how quickly everyone seems to have taken to it - You should be really pleased.
I am overwhelmed and ecstatic and grateful and vindicated. I couldn’t be happier with the tidal wave of support and sincere joy that’s come our way, the (literally) hundreds of pieces of fan art that are being breathlessly drawn faster than I can look at them, the cosplayers already choosing fabrics and causing yellow Dr Martens boots to sell out online. The huge response is a clear sign that despite our detractors we’ve really tapped into something that was waiting to explode. But all of this is for naught if everyone doesn’t actually *buy the book* - so I would really strongly urge everyone who loves the new Batgirl to PREORDER at your local comic shop. Tell them you want it, show your retailer the same excitement for Batgirl that you’ve shown us.
Thanks for all the love, it is returned to you in full.
Here you go! These are as large as Tumblr will allow.
Thanks, by the way, to everyone who’s been so kind and enthusiastic about Necropolis! I’ve gotten a lot of questions, and they will all be answered, but I want to address two that keep popping up:
1. Prints. They are coming, and I’ll let y’all know when they’re available. Soon.
2. Character turnarounds. Maybe next week? Next week. Like Wednesday. Let’s say that.
Thanks again, y’all!

fell in love with the artstyle here pretty much immediately, I can’t wait for the comic proper
