Recently I got the opportunity to interview Gail Simone at WonderCon 2014. Gail took the time to talk to us during her amazingly busy schedule. Fans were line up all around us, waiting to speak with Gail themselves. Later in the day we ran into her again, and she approached my wife and children and spent some time talking with them before she left the Con floor for the day.
