Hrm, she seemed to disappear from the comics in the mid to late 90s. She may have done some one shots or LSs here and there, but she hasn't been seen much.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, she's not writing comics anymore.

She edited High Times for a while. She's done other writing/editing gigs.

Especially a woman. There must be all kinds of fantastic opportunities for women in the comics industry, right?

ION: I'm reading about Amazing Spider-Man #545, and Holy Shit, that is one ugly retcon. Apparently, the issue was written by Joe Quesada, because JMS wouldn't sign off on it.

While they were retconning away the fact that everyone knows Spider-Man's secret identity, they decided to retcon a few other things too, so now Peter Parker was never married to MJ, and Harry Osbourn is still alive.

I thought Civil War was the reason for whitefont #1. As for whitefonts #2 and #3 -- WtfuckingF?!?

And HOW in the hell did they retcon those???

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So, not so much "retcon" as "don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain".
