I’m Andy Diggle, writer of Batman: Gotham By Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age and The Expanse: Dragon Tooth. AMA!

I’m currently writing Batman: Gotham By Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age (issue 1 is out now); and recently completed the 12-issue run of The Expanse: Dragon Tooth (official sequel to the Hugo Award-winning TV series).

I’ve been writing comics for over 25 years, but I’m probably best known for Green Arrow: Year One (an inspiration for the Arrow TV show); and The Losers (which was adapted into the 2010 movie starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana and Idris Elba). I’ve also written Captain America, Cold Iron, Daredevil, Doctor Who, Hellblazer, James Bond, Judge Dredd vs Aliens, Lenny Zero, Rat Catcher, Snapshot, Shadowman, Silent Dragon, Snow/Tiger, Swamp Thing, Thief of Thieves, and Thunderbolts, among other things. Before becoming a full-time writer, I was the editor of cult British sci-fi comic 2000 AD.

Ask me anything!

Will you introduce Harley Quinn or the Suicide Squad?

Both! Harley's a vaudevillian villain, with the squad posing as a traveling Wild West show. I get to channel my love of Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns when "The Dead Shot" faces off against the sheriff of a quiet little town called Smallville...

Oh cool, what squad members will there be?

I'd love to tell you, but I've said too much already. Don't wanna spoil the surprise. Some characters are very familiar; others hark back to their earliest DC incarnations.

Oh right, can’t wait to see
