“The Gail Simone Cameo in Nightwing #110: A Subtle Nod to Social Media Followers”

The latest issue of Nightwing has comic fans buzzing with a subtle cameo appearance that may only be noticed by the most devoted followers of writer Gail Simone. In Nightwing #110 by Tom Taylor and Sami Basri, the ongoing Titans: Beast World event continues as Dick Grayson and Jonathan Kent search for the missing Damian Wayne.

Their search leads them to an underground arena where Damian has been transformed into a cat-boy and is set to fight an enraged bear-woman named Gail the Slayer, who was a former hairdresser. This seemingly random cameo actually has a deeper meaning for those familiar with Gail Simone’s social media presence.

It has long been a running joke on Gail Simone’s social media that she is a bear pretending to be a human comic book writer. This joke has been referenced in previous comics by Tom Taylor, including mock posters promoting a “G. Simone blood-feud show” in Nightwing #87 and naming a polar bear Gail in Superman: Son of Kal-El 2021 Annual #1.

While the real Gail Simone is not actually a bear, this latest nod to her bear persona in Nightwing #110 adds another layer of fun for fans in the know. Comic readers are advised to approach Gail Simone with caution at conventions, just in case. Nightwing #110 is now available at comic shops everywhere for those who want to see this subtle cameo for themselves.
