Drawble Prize for mia-culpa, who requested
If possible, how ‘bout Cissie and Empress all grown up and out on the town?
Man how much do I wish these two could have like a comic book title of their own. The Brave and the Brilliant. And Amanda Waller is their leader. With occasional guest-star Cassie Sandsmark.
THIS IS AMAZING AND OH GOD. They would have the best adventures in their own comic, not to mention a double-teamed Young Justice spin-off comic that is maybe even slightly connected to Amanda Waller and maybe even Checkmate would be the actual bomb. The introduction issue alone is playing in my head and all written out in this drawing where they clearly have just decided to form up the team and get back into crime fighting, because they’re having fun on the hilarious misadventure that lead to butt kicking and began with pedicures.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxpksgMiJ11ql0bdmo1_1280.jpg)
An Interview with the Batgirl of the SDCC panels
There were lots of stories that came out of SDCC this year, but the one that has caught the attention of the comics community was a woman who dressed up as Batgirl to ask questions about female characters and creators at several DC Comics’ panels. I first became aware of her questions while following the live feeds of Newsarama and CBR. If you read this blog you know I have many of the same concerns she has. After seeing the reaction of some attendees and reporters about how her questions and those of others regarding female characters and creators were being handled, I compiled a post of that coverage.
That post has now become the most viewed ever for this blog. Her appearances at the panels has also generated other blog posts and many comments. She’s been called everything from a hero to a bully. But now for the first time we can hear from her.
Yesterday I caught up with Kyrax2, the “Batgirl woman” as she has become known, to find out more about what drove her to ask these questions and her thoughts on the reactions she received.
I post geeky things (usually of awesome ladies) anywhere from four times a day to once a week. Sometimes more. My tags are half nonsensical, half informative. Sometimes the ratio shifts in one direction. I will not say which.
