Gail Simone is leaving Birds of Prey! I can't deal! NOOOO!!!
Okay, drama over. She's moving on, and I know whatever new project she's picking up, it'll be kickass. Meanwhile, I'm hearing great things that's coming up for the forthcoming Birds of Prey: Secret Six vs Birds of Prey! Yes! And more, as Simone promises:
Finally, man alive are we going out with a bang. This is absolutely the most fun I've ever had on an arc on the book. Not just because it guest stars the Secret Six. Not just because I got to write Hawkgirl. Not because we brought back one of the great JLI characters. Not because I got to write Helena throwing a meatball at Catman's head, but because the art team of Nicola Scott and Doug Hazlewood has delivered something exquisite on every page.
Okay, I want to see Huntress throw meatball at Catman's head. Really, I want to see that.

I always, without fail, hate it when writers and artists who I like leave comics that I am reading. Soooo many times it doesn't turn out so good and takes awhile for the comic to get back on track. Hope that isn't the case with BofP.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I tell myself it is good that writers move on - it allows them a wider experience and more variety in their writing.
ReplyDeleteBut right now I'm concerned about the future of BoP, and a little curious about this mysterious new project Gail Simone will be undertaking. She says it's something too good to turn down.
Curious.
