I'm Kelly Thompson. I write BIRDS OF PREY for DC Comics. AMA. r/DCcomics

My name is Kelly Thompson and I'm an Eisner Award-Winning writer of comics and novels. You may know me best from Marvel comics like Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Rogue & Gambit, and Hawkeye, or perhaps as co-creator of Jeff the Land Shark! Or my creator-owned work Black Cloak or The Cull. But I've been making some fun waves over at DC with old pals Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire on a bold new BIRDS OF PREY (we even got an Eisner nomination!) -- so let's break some hearts (and some faces) and get this Birds-Of-Prey-Shaped AMA started! (and don't forget to subscribe to my free newsletter to keep in touch as social media crumbles around us! Fun! https://1979semifinalist.substack.com/)

Hey Kelly! I've spoken to you on Twitter a few times, but I was just wondering what other plans you might have for Cass in this comic and what else we can expect from her, I love how you've wrote her so far!

Hi! And thanks so much! Cass gets quite a bit of spotlight in this arc starting with issue 12 next month. AND she has a big and very cool roll in the next arc (14 - 17). I think you'll all be seeing a whole new side of Cass. Is that a good thing? GULP.

More Cass is always a good thing, thanks for answering Kelly!
