I don't like any of those Super family costumes either. So far, from the new DC stuff, I shall try their Wildstorm team with the 'used to be and might still be' gay characters, I shall give Titans a go and I shall give Suicide Squad a go. Then I shall pick up Booster Gold and the JLI stuff. So they haven't lost me totally, but over all, I will end up dropping 4 or 5 DC books in total it appears, so, with me as an example, this overhaul will currently lose them money. So in exchange for 4 or 5 books you're picking up 4 or 5 different ones? Losing money for sure. And to the guy asking about the GLs. They are pretty much not changing anything in that series. It's picking up right where war of the GLs left off. No, I'm saying I currently pick up around 10 DC books a month, as far as has been announced so far, I'm only really digging half that number. So my over all DC consumption will go down as most of the books im picking up are just replacement books. And with the GL stuff, I believe they have said that the stroryline is remaining the same, but the history and attitude of some of the characters may change. I would assume theat Hal, seen as he is being de-aged, will end up alot more Ryan Reynolds than he's ever been, with his death and the whole Parallax thing likely erased totally.

Yeah, but, in a way, Harley isn't meant to be 'evil as hell.' The whole point of her is almost a sort of weird innocence, despite what she does or what Mr J does. Yeah, sure, she looks 'hot' for a drawing, but I'm not sure her look will match what I like about the character, and thus it makes me believe the character will be changed from what I like, and that annoys me (as I'm sure it would most). I never really saw her as innocent, as her life pre-Mr. J was about lying, cheating, stealing, and sleeping with professors to get her degree and also thinking only of fame and fortune while in Arkham in Mad Love, . Also, during her run in the Sirens was pretty much "I would have owned this city by now if I wasn't more concerned about getting back with Joker", which gave me kind of a mary sue imagine to her. Though, I wonder if they'll change her origin in any way.

I highly doubt that parallax thing will get deleted unless all the entities get destroyed and with the storyline not being changed as they say, is very doubtful.

Oh no, Parallax would still be the beast and stuff, I mean the whole Hal being Parallax and the whole him dying stuff and being the Spectre, I could see that going.

Good to see Gail isn't sore about it. I have to admit, if I was her, I probably would be. Not to mention how they've taken Birds of Prey away from her as well (although granted she still gets to write Babs).

I mean if she was gone from DC altogether right now instead of getting new books to write, I think we'd be getting a very different statement from her.

Gail at Marvel would be interesting. With her cult following, it'd be interesting to see what they would give her. Generally, whatever it was, I'd probably be there.
Whether I follow her to the new titles......we'll see. Firestorm just isnt a compelling character (or hasnt been) and Batgirl.......I'm annoyed they took her out of the chair.

If Gail Simone went to Marvel I think she would write a great Spidey and Venom
