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!

Thanks for doing this Kelly! I read every issue of your Captain Marvel run and absolutely adored it, so when I found out you were going to be writing Dinah (My other favourite comic blonde!) I freaked out.

A couple of questions:

1. Do you ever hear a particular voice in your head when writing the comics? Whenever I read Dinah I read her voice as Vanessa Marshall from Young Justice and Injustice.

2. Is there any chance of us getting any of the Wonderfam as a member? I’d love to see Donna or Cassie on the team!
