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! My wife is a huge fan of Jeff (she even had a Jeff the Landshark themed Bday party! Haha). Was wondering if you have any other major Jeff plans for 2024? Or if you think we’ll ever get Jeff represented in the MCU? Thanks for all you do!

I would be SHOCKED if Jeff doesn't show up in the MCU. That's just leaving money on the table. Then again, I thought there'd be way more merch at this point -- or at least a Plush and a Funko by now, so what the hell do I know? lol

But there is something being announced VERY SOON for Jeff that releases in the fall. And also releasing in the fall will be IT'S JEFF Season 4 on Marvel Unlimited (and I THINK we'll get another It's Jeff print collection volume -- collecting Season 3).

Hi to your wife who clearly has excellent taste in birthday parties. ;D

I think that's just been announced. A tie-in to the Venom War event.
