Creator Spotlight: Gail Simone talks heart, humor, and humanity of the X-Men
This week marks a major milestone: The 350th episode of the AIPT Comics Podcast, and we’re celebrating in style with one of comics’ most beloved voices: Gail Simone. From redefining Birds of Prey to reshaping Wonder Woman and Batgirl, Simone’s career has been nothing short of legendary. Now, she’s bringing that same emotional power and wit to Marvel’s mutant universe with her acclaimed runs on Uncanny X-Men and Unbreakable X-Men.
In this special conversation, Gail opens up about her creative process, the heart behind her take on the X-Men, and what it means to write characters who have always stood for survival, community, and hope. She talks about working with artist David Marquez, making readers feel, not just react, and why she wanted Unbreakable X-Men to be a story about “the light at the end of the tunnel.”
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and unbreakably honest, an episode worthy of number 350.
