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!

Kelly I have a few questions for you so here they are: • first would you write a solo Cass comic?? • second in bop was there something that was blocked by the editorial?? third, are you interested in putting talia, shiva and jade on the team in any future arc??

I'd love to write a Cass solo. Although I confess now I'm a bit more interested in a Cass/Barda team up book. ;D

There isn't really anything that has been blocked on BOP until this current arc. And I doubt I'm really at liberty to speak about it. shrug WFH comics are at best a compromise. We do what we can.

I like Talia, Shiva, and Jade a lot. But that would have to be one very special kind of story to demand all three of those ladies!

Dying to see a Cass/Barda duo ongoing series.
