Missy Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Via Twitter, I sent Ed Brubaker this image, and he retweeted it! (Look at 4 down.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Regarding the unspoiled Uncanny X-Men cover, I said: Oddly, Peter seems to be covered in metal, except for the portion under the helmet. But now looking at a larger, clearer image, that was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think I pissed off Gail Simone over on Twitter. It started like this: You know what DC needs? @kellysue and @marjoriemliu. @ComicAttack @marjoriemliu That's that book where Girlverine has bad hangnails on both feet. Right? @GailSimone Better than the BIRD FLU or BAT RABIES. @ComicAttack @marjoriemliu Why do you take everything i say as a personal attack? Is it because X -23 is so terrible? I then chimed in with: @GailSimone If you think X-23 is bad, why do you want @marjoriemliu at DC? Is it for her skill or gender? 'Cause it seems like the latter. @GailSimone All I'm saying is, if you champion hiring someone but then bash their work, it comes off like a diversity hire. @GailSimone And that's always the wrong reason to hire someone. Gail's response: @earth_2 You got me, I just wanted @marjoriemliu to come to dc because she's an undude. #busted #soashamed I can't believe I actually have to explain that I am joking. How can someone follow me for two seconds and not get that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah. Simone can be a bit of a bitch like that. :/ (I unfollowed her a while ago.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Honestly, of all my social networks, Twitter is the one I pay the least attention to. It takes more effort to unfollow someone than it does to just scroll past them. That said, it's the internet. No one knows if someone is kidding or not. Even I debate if I'm being sarcastic about stuff at times or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) I sent Simone this follow-up tweet: @GailSimone Allow me to apologize for taking your good-natured ribbing of @marjoriemliu too seriously. If she honestly meant it as a joke, I was wrong to get pissy. EDIT 01: Her response: @earth_2 @marjoriemliu No worries at all...but she IS a horrible person. EDIT 02: To which Marjorie Liu said: @GailSimone Horribly FANTASTIC, you mean. @earth_2 This is fun!

SuaveStar Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah. Simone can be a bit of a bitch like that. :/ (I unfollowed her a while ago.) Same. Some comic creators come across as really nice on twitter, and try and talk to fans. Simone comes across as a real arrogant bitch at times, who seems to spend all of her time talking about how great the dialogue she's writing is, and how her comic creator friends are all so awesome. But like Will said, if I don't want to read a persons tweets, it only takes 5 seconds to click unfollow. GailSimone said: @earth_2 @marjoriemliu No worries at all...but she IS a horrible person. I can't tell if she's trying to be funny or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 HA! More people are chiming in: @GailSimone Have you read @earth_2's tweets? There's a dude who takes himself waaaay too seriously. No wonder he doesn't get your humor. @earth_2 They are joking dude, they do that all the time.

Missy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I'm wondering how long it will take Rich Johnston to spin the Simone / Liu thing into a real fight, and how many "how dare you even breathe the same air as Ms. Simone" tweets I'll receive.

Dread Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I got into this exchange with Kurt Busiek last night: Kurt: Drinking a Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen. Went well with brats for dinner, and there's more left! Me: Can I have one? Kurt: Bah. You may not! Me: Tarnation! Then Astro City is only my second favorite comic of all time. I bite my thumb at you sir! Kurt: Bite harder! Me: Ow! Why I oughta!!!! You win this time, Busiek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 @GailSimone Have you read @earth_2's tweets? There's a dude who takes himself waaaay too seriously. No wonder he doesn't get your humor. This is, I have to assume, in response to the series of tweets I made last night about migraines, depression, and anxiety. Oh, and because I've been bitching about Flashpoint and Justice League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 That's awesome, Des! Kurt has always seemed like a cool, really fun guy.
