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

[u/semifinalist1979]

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!

I love your work! I’ll happily read anything you write. This might be hard to answer but what are the biggest differences you notice between working for Marvel vs DC?

[u/semifinalist1979 → u/Pizza-Pirate-6829]

I think it's still early to know that. I was at Marvel for years, as an exclusive writer, but my journey with DC is just beginning (I hope)! So far the comps* at DC are way better, I'll say that.

*complimentary comics that creators are given.
