One of my pet ideas for writing a Batman comic would be a Gotham-born superhero who doesn't think Batman's system works because it's too rigid on crime, and Batman having to deal with someone who isn't interested in his lectures and sees him as just as inefficient as he sees the GCPD.

Please don't steal my bad Batman idea.

Congrats you just invented Red Hood.

Well it sounds like it came as sort of a threat.

We won't pay and you'll have to teleconference in or you're off the book.

"We won't pay to bring your kid and you still need to attend work, we will set up teleconferencing for you".

Right, and that's reasonable if that's how they presented it.

But it doesn't sound that way.


(That and potentially because of the freelance position, it's unpaid.)

I'm with Alex that publishers should throw parents, especially single parents, a bone, but she needs to lay off of Valiant.
*huffy nerd mode*
Valiant is a sausage party, sure, but don't discount the contributions of Jen Van Meter, Marguerite Sauvage, Amy Chu, and Patricia Martin (off the top of my head) just because another company wouldn't comp travel and hotel for your baby. Keep firing shots at other publishers, that's a great job security strategy.

Marvel and DC have lots of female writers and artists too. But they never really invited them to retreats until KSD called it out.

Isn't that called a translation?

It can be, but they presumably want to be upfront about it in this case.

American format isn't A anything.

They're 10 1/8 by 6 6/8s which isn't even a paper size either.

Yeah I feel like someone selling a lot like that should know what valuable issues he has in it or it's your own fault.

The guy had a price he wanted for it, it's different if like he was asking someone to take a look and make an offer.

His only mistake was not running the guy over to get his money back.
