I know, I know, most people here are keenly aware of that fact.
However, I received a package in the mail that exhibits that rocking. In a thread with preview pages for Birds of Prey #86, I made some comment about how I didn't know when I'd get to pick it or any other comics up since I'm displaced because of Hurricane Katrina. Gail quickly asked for the address where I'm currently staying so she could send me some comics. Needless to say, I was taken aback because I didn't honestly expect my admitted pity party to garner much more than an, "Aw, man, that's too bad" kind of a response. After giving her my address, she then asked me if I wanted any of them signed. Again, that's just unexpected coolness on her part. I was never able to get back to her on the specific comics I missed like she asked because I was busy trekking all over the place down here checking on my current job, figuring out living arrangements, and looking for a new job and living arrangment at the same time.
Late yesterday afternoon, Kristina came in with a package from Gail. It had the last two issues of Action, the last two issues of Villains United, the last three issues of Birds of Prey, and the trade of Killer Princesses. All of the books are signed. Thanks tons, Gail. Not only missed comics that I really wanted to read, but you helped create a nice sense of normalcy among the strangeness and chaos.
To repeat, Gail rocks.
