Speaking of women writing comic books...
Tamora Pierce's self-proclaimed dreaded spouse-creature, Tim Liebe made sure I knew about the upcoming White Tiger comic book that the two of them are writing. It looks gorgeous, it sounds thrilling...I'm getting it!
Thank you Tim!
Here's the link to the page with all the info...White Tiger
Maybe when I'm pencilling at Marvel in a couple of years (details on my drawing are over at 'I Wanna Be a Comic book Artist" on the sidebar), I'll get to work with them! A housewife can dream, can't she?

Dawn - thank you very much for the entry! :)
We're looking forward to hearing your comments on the comic once it's out in November - whether that's really November or "October b/c sales end in November" like most magazines, I'm not really sure ;) ,
Best,

November.. :( I'd heard it was coming out in October.
Too long a wait either way. I've gotten all excited and so it should be in my hands NOW damnit!
Ragnell - that's what WE heard originally, too! Then it got put back to November - maybe due to the difficulties co-ordinating between Tammy and I while moving upstate (at the same time Tammy's supposed to be writing BLOODHOUND), artist Phil Briones who lives in France, and our Marvel editor Ruwan Jayatilleke was also shepherded the popular HALO graphic novel (requiring coordination between Marvel, Bungie Software, Microsoft AND the creative team!) at the same time he was editing us.
In some ways it's a relief, b/c it gave us an extra couple weeks to rewrite, edit, do color notes and go back and forth on pencils. So be patient, please - it may not be quicker, but it'll sure be better! :)

I'm am DYING for this book, dangnabbit!
Gail
Oh me too and it's all that freakin' Tim's fault.
I think it's the book that's going to finally bring me back full fledged comic book geekdom. I called up a sorta local comic book store today to see if they sold new books so I could get them to put a copy aside for me when it came in (the answer was no, they don't carry new books but they do order in for customers with accounts).
But now I have to go back and read Daredevil to find out who this chick is. Last time I read it J.R.JR. penciled and Ann Nocenti wrote it. I'm a bit behind the times. :)
>But now I have to go back and read Daredevil to find out who this chick is. <
Somewhere, I think Tammy has a copy of the DD issues we considered germane to writing WHITE TIGER, including Bendis's establishing Angela as Hector's (the original White Tiger's) niece, and as a FBI Agent who got his amulets when he died. If I get that, I'll post the issue numbers and appropriate trades here....
As for being MY fault? :D Hey, I'm co-writer on ONE of Tammy's projects! In some ways the least time-consuming one - given TERRIER's 600 pages long, though Tammy swears BLOODHOUND will be "much shorter" (is that Ragnell I hear snickering across the tubes? ;) )....

That's me saying "wait till you come home, Sparky!"
Actually, Dawn, he's not my "self-proclaimed Dreaded Spouse-Creature." I proclaimed him that. Kids always protest when I name him that when I speak, until I point out that they have dads, or brothers, or uncles, or cousins, and they've seen that thing first thing in the morning, with the hair (pointing to my head), and the hair (pointing to my chin), and the hair (pointing to my back), and the scratching, and the noises--if that isn't a Creature, what is? Then they get it.
I'm disappointed it's November, too, because the suspense is killing Tim and me (we've been working on this a long time, and we'd love to give Gail a small return on all the reading she's given us! But the book will be the better for the delay, and unless there's a screw-up somewhere else, everything will be on time. There won't be a screw-up on the art end (knock on wood)--Phil Briones is a penciling fool, and has been turning around rough pencils almost as soon as we hand over the script.
I join my thanks to Tim's--thanks for the mention!
Tammy
I have one of those creatures myself though the hair on the head is becoming less of an issue as the years pass. :D
And it was my pleasure to mention the book. It looks like it's going to be fun!
Dawn - I owe you a list, and I'm sorry I haven't finished it yet. Turns out all we'd done is tag the DD back issues we felt germane so we could refer to them, and neither of us did a written list.
I'll post that list once I've finished it,
Best,

Oh, would you mind if I put your list in a post (all credit to you)? I thought it might make for a good build up to the release. I'm not exactly a blog with huge hits but I wouldn't mind being a small part of the promotion for your book.
Dawn, go ahead. :)
Just be aware some of the issues are very tangential to what we're doing, and are there b/c they filled in some background on a character or situation for us than will have an actual impact on our story....
