March 2010 - Well, the news is out that Gail is passing the torch - she will be missed by many many loyal fans!
It's easy to see why everybody loves Gail Simone. She writes Wonder Woman from the heart!
The quote below is from "Five Wonder Questions with Gail Simone" in the Comic Book Resources forums; this is Gail's response to Antony Coukos posing a very pertinent moral question:
"Wonder Woman has long been respected as a revolutionary who champions the struggle for justice, equality and the empowerment of women. As her writer, you have control over that moral compass. To what extent do you feel a responsibility to use the character to address inequities in today's society?"
"...you can't help but imagine how Wonder Woman would feel about the state of eternal war as practiced by the nations of our planet and warned about by Orwell. I think she'd have little patience for it. In the latest issue, she has a moment of clarity where she realizes she's been behaving exactly like the world leaders she's condemned. I think that's a key moment, and a moment only Wonder Woman, of all superheroes, could truly pull off. There's a reason why this issue starts with her punching an enemy blindly and thoughtlessly, and ends with her holding out the hand of truce, in other words.
It's because she's Wonder Woman, and she learns from her mistakes. That's her best message, right there, possibly."
