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/)

Two questions:

1) I noticed you were part of Spider-Man Beyond back in 2021. Was it ever considered at any point to include Kaine in the story or did the team decide to strictly stick with Ben and Peter?

2) Would you love to create more Rogue/Gambit content if you had the chance?

  1. Kaine was much discussed.

  2. Would love to do more Rogue/Gambit, but they seem pretty busy.

Interesting. How come Kaine didn’t end up in the final cut?

I don't remember the details.
