Bob Harras and Bobbie Chase launch a new “Ask The Edtors” column at CBR and it’s… Well, it’s something, especially when addressing the fact that Jim Zub and Robert Venditti have been removed from Birds of Prey and Constantine respectively, or Gail Simone being fired and rehired on Batgirl:
What we had was Ray [Fawkes] coming on for two months to help out, schedule-wise. We’re very happy Gail is back; she’s on the book moving forward, so to me, that was a moment in time where we were just looking for Gail’s next plot to come in and we’re moving forward.
“We were just looking for Gail’s next plot to come in”? Really? Because, you know, if that was really the case, then you might have wanted to tell the editor of the book that so that he wouldn’t have fired Gail by email.
(Also, is this column the first place that Jim Starlin has been announced as Stormwatch‘s new writer…?)

It was Gail’s best plot yet…a cunning plot to outwit the short-sighted editors and get her job back by reacting to her firing with grace and maturity while letting fandom make its voice heard.

That is some mighty fine tap-dancing going on.
