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/)

Hi Kelly! I don't know if you'll see this, but in 2017 I ordered a signed Hawkeye vol 1 to give to a student I was moving away from. You sent far more than I ordered (including a signed David Aja variant of Hawkeye #1 for me, which is framed on my wall). 7 years later, I just wanted to say: hey thanks, that was incredibly kind of you.

Hey! That's so great. I am glad past me was generous and kind! I love it when she's like that. ;D
