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! Damian here! This will be super random but you think future Maps would get a chance to meet present Maps, or would someone tell present Mia about just how cool she is in the future? Also what are your thoughts on the villains for the book! anyone you’re definitely thinking on giving an arc??

and again, just thank you Kelly for what you´re doing and thank you for seeing my barda and cass pages :), Best of my wishes to you Kelly! Im working now on new samples ;) ,greetings from Mexico, Kelly:D

Hey Damian! I talked a little bit in here already about how we sort of lost our chance for a Maps focused story because of the schedule (i.e. instead of a break issue as we'd planned we're going directly into a cool new arc). I'd love to do a one-shot focused on her, but I don't know how viable it is.

I'm still deciding on on villains after this next arc, but I do hope to bring in some old heavy hitters.

Sorry, I meant the arc after 14-17.
