Who agrees with me*?

* you aren't technically the "best" with Morrison, Waid and Busiek around. Sorry. But if DC didn't have them you'd definitely be #1. :D

Yeah, I'd agree that Gail is of DC's top-tier.

I don't beleive in lists like that.

Gail is a great writer who keeps me engaged and amused.

Is Morrisson "better" than her?

How can you prove that empirically?

I agree that it's a little bit silly to start a praise thread by immediately diminishing her in favor of other authors.

Still, I chose to ignore that bit, and responded more to the thread title.

Until she recieves a Pulitzer and an Oscar for best screenplay, she'll just be another pulp fiction hack.

That's still pretty good for a gurrrrl !

As an Australian, that line always makes me smile.

Isn't "rooting" slang for sex in Australia?

You got it.

It makes for a funny mental image.

Ha! I guess that would make you laugh. Sort of like when people from England hear Americans say "shag," as in the carpet and dancing.

A friend went to England, and upon going to a dance, asked the people "who in here knows how to shag?" She could not figure out why people were laughing. She wanted to dance. Poor thing.

She was not bad as a chick I knoew who was saying the french phrase from "Lady Marmalade" to guys. I asked her if she knew what she was saying. She was like, "nope." I had to tell her. She turned three shades of red.

" Jerry Lewis is the father of modern comedy " would be pretty embarrassing.

Ow ow ow ow

This thread drift just gave me whiplash!

Back on topic...If we have to let women write comics, Gail Simone is the best we could hope for!
