There's been a lot of Emerald City Comic Con breaking news circulating, but I have a story that will tug at your heart strings. Gail Simone is my favorite part of Twitter, but that's mostly because of the stories she shares. One of the best things about the comic book community is everyones willingness to help each other out. Today brought a nice tale from Emerald City Comic Con…

Earlier today, Gail tweeted about her want to help out a young boy that her librarian sister knows from school. Read all about it:

Here is my mission today. Cool superhero stuff for a third grade boy. Here's the story I can tell. My sister is a librarian at a school. — Gail Simone (@GailSimone) April 10, 2016

…are staying temporarily in some foster homes, it's obviously very rough on him. But he loves, loves, loves superheroes, esp. Deadpool. — Gail Simone (@GailSimone) April 10, 2016

…to help make this time right now a little happier and more fun. I am giving him comics, but I want to find some cool, recent things… — Gail Simone (@GailSimone) April 10, 2016

She turned to Funko for some help and boy did they deliver…

THANK YOU for the help, @OriginalFunko ! You are the best! pic.twitter.com/bcsRl0wmc8 — Gail Simone (@GailSimone) April 10, 2016

While the core of this news is sad, at least we all know that the young boy and his siblings will have some cool new toys to play with and hope that people in the world care. It's nice to know that people like Gail exist and companies like Funko are willing to help out too.
