![]() The comic is the result a process of innovation, combining elements that hadn’t necessarily been combined before, a trait you’ll also see in Clean Room and many other comics that Simone has worked on. It posits the supernatural body-swap of a Detroit hitman and a Seattle housewife with significant dramatic consequences for both. One of her most recent series with artist Cat Staggs, Crosswind, published by Image Comics, is an outrageously fun and also meaningful comic about “respect and who gets it”, as Simone says below. It’s this dual approach that has been so beneficial to the medium, questioning the why and how of comics, as well as making direct observations about how storytelling works, that makes Simone such an influence on the future of comics.Īnd she doesn’t just theorize and talk about comics–though if she did, that would still be awesome–she creates great stories with her collaborators that feel fresh, new, and accomplished by putting these observations to work. ![]() ![]() So much innovative thinking in comics has come from the work of writer Gail Simone, but this seems almost equally balanced with amount of sound common sense she continues to bring to the table in conversations with fans online and in interviews. ![]()
