No Gurls Aloud.

Don’t mis-understand, I agree that there need to be more women-as-creators in comics, just that the arguments about women in the comics business have become circular. Many say, “Of course there aren’t any women creators. Women don’t read comics.” “Of course we don’t have any women at our summits. Women don’t write our comics.”

And don’t get me started about Wizard magazine.

Then again, what am I saying? Karen Berger? Jeanette Kahn? Diana Schutz? What the hell have they ever done for comics anyway? NO CHICKS ALLOWED!!!!

(I sincerely hope I don’t have to let people know which part of the comment contains sarcasm)

“Then Quesada realised that people would buy it anyway.”

“Then Quesada realised that journalists would buy their own copies anyway”

“Then Quesada realised that people would buy all the spinoff series dealing with those problems anyway”

Elayne: Probably. They seem to employ a few. Joe is allegedly even married to one.

“Suddenly Quesada realized that the books would have to ship on time to keep fans and retailers happy.”

“Suddenly Quesada realized that spending even a little money send review copies to journalists might not be a bad idea.”

“Suddenly Quesada realized that a miniseries that hinged on major players behaving completely out of character might prove problematic.”

Okay, I’m out of ideas. Anyone else?
