Fiona Staples is one of the best artists in the business. Can't wait for her new ongoing with Brian K Vaughan.

i have to say i like more female ARTISTS than writers - conner, scott, cloonan, pia guerra, joelle jones etc. nearly half my favourite comic artists are women.

the one problem i HAVE with female writers like gail simone is that when they write a BAD book (and some of what she's written the last couple of years - the last 'birds of prey 'run for example - has stunk), there seems to be this double standard about criticism - like you can't negatively criticize her work because she's a woman.

What about Janet Khan or Karen Berger? Two-big time names behind the scenes. An irregardless is redundant and shouldn't be a word!
