Per source: "The slang definition of "fridge" in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, as of this week, reads;
"to kill/harm a character (in a movie, show, etc.) to motivate another" and "To fridge a (usually female) character in a movie, television show, comic book, etc., is to kill them off or seriously harm/abuse/violate them in some way (as a writer) for the purposes of motivating or furthering the development of another (usually male) character. Fridging is considered, and widely criticized as, a storytelling cliché."
"And it cites "This use of fridge is attributed to comics/television/novel writer Gail Simone, who in 1999 published a list of over 100 comic book characters, all women, who were killed, injured, tortured, etc., on a website called "Women in Refrigerators." The website's name comes from an issue of a Green Lantern comic in which the superhero finds that his girlfriend has been murdered by a villain and stuffed into a refrigerator."

I am just reporting on this. I have nothing to do with #GailSimone or #tomtaylor and their assorted shenanigans.

Just a goofy little illustration to commemorate writer Gail Simone coming to Maui Comic Con this year.
I call it "A Red Gail Hits Maui"

The closest I ever saw #DCComics get to having such a character was when #GailSimone wrote #SecretSix in about the mid 2000s and gave us a #bisexual #CatMan.
So I guess you'll just have to "be the gay vinyl-clad cat man you want to see in the world". ;)

It was me. I ordered the busty meatloaf.
Thanks, @gailsimone (from twitter).

Can we start a GoFundMe to get #GailSimone to come over to the Fediverse?

I can't praise enough what Gail Simone did with her Secret Six. It's not really easy -and very rarely done-, taking a bunch of mostly second tier villains and write a whole series. But this is done out of pure talent for characterization, dialogue and plot, where you can really feel for this rather despicable gang, surprises are on every issue, and a (dark) sense of humor gives some air between all the action and death. A very underrated modern classic, if you ask me.

Well that’s annoying. The local library has volumes 1 & 3 of Gail Simone’s Clean Room, but not #2. Anybody got a copy hanging around I might borrow? Digital is fine. #comics #GailSimone

CW: AI and Comic Book Art
The thoughtful and hilarious Gail Simone has a twitter thread on AI art in the comics space (via music theory). I think she sees things pretty clearly and realistically.

#NCBD pickups- Nocterra Val Special and The Variants are both pretty good. I decided to grab a couple of issues of Death Dealer with #Frazetta covers just because. Finally a couple of cheap back issues that looked fun.

If you’re not reading The Variants I highly recommend it, very few comics of recent years have given me such a gut punch of recognition as this particular Jessica Jones story. It’s all great, but there’s one moment in particular that made me have a full body sob reaction out of nowhere. #comicBooks #JessicaJones #TheVariants #GailSimone

The only thing I miss about #Twitter is #GailSimone . I hope she comes over here soon.

CW: comic books - Mild Jessica Jones "The Variants" spoiler
There have been a lot of really good really moving comic book stories I've read recently, but Gail Simone's Jessica Jones story The Variants is the one that really felt like a gut punch, the moment Jessica meets a variant who didn't have her defining traumatic experience and how she relates to her just absolutely broke me. Full body sobbing reading that. #JessicaJones #GailSimone #TheVariants
