The Movement #1 by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams II is published today And despite certain publicity machines painting it as an Occupy Comics book, it isn't that.

Since the announcement of The Movement by Gail Simone and Freddie Williams last week, it has been attacked from the right as pandering to left wing activists, and to a lesser extent from the left as co-opting the Occupy movement for the needs of a multi-global business Here are a few of our favourites; Right Wing[...]

We knew that Gail Simone was coming back to Batgirl But what about her artist Ed Benes? He was absent from DC's April solicitations. A few days ago he posted on Facebook; Oi pessoal, hoje eu estou usando esse espaço para, para avisar que estou me afastando dos quadrinhos por um tempo, talvez um ano ou dois[...]

That Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes would be writing Constantine – if you remember, Ray Fawkes was to have taken over Batgirl before that decision was reversed – and that Christy Marx is to write Birds Of Prey – the first time a woman has written that title since Gail Simone.

Gail Simone just tweeted. Here's a thing Gail Simone is the new Batgirl writer. Also NOT A HOAX.
