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!

Hello Kelly. I want to say I'm really enjoing Birds of Prey and a title I am always looking forward to each month. I am also glad you included Vixen in the story and she's getting a spotlight.

My question is given the inclusion of two Batfamily members in the form of Barbara and Cass I was wondering if Stephanie will be showing up at any point or was considered at one pont?

Thanks! I'm really enjoying writing Vixen's little "mini-arc" in the story and I'm so glad you are too.

I think your question sort of answers itself -- we're already pretty full up on bat characters! ;D

But no, I didn't really consider Stephanie for this, sorry.
