Will you EVER work on birds of prey again? That series (and team) set the groundwork for modern feminism in DC comics!

Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s very likely. Sad to say but being taken off the book I made a hit twice made returning unlikely for me. That just was handled so poorly that returning feels like it would be a mistake. The Birds I loved and helped build don’t really exist anymore. Sorry to sound morose but that was painful to witness.



The silver lining is that the new book, while different, has an excellent caretaker in Duane, and has become its own thing, its own vibe, and still has lots of kickass females.  If some crappy writer had taken over the book, it would have absolutely killed me. So Duane taking over is a huge thing.



I miss it a lot. I miss a lot of the pre-new52 stuff, but I was very heavily invested in BOP and what place it held in the comics industry, so it’s a bit sad. But I do love what we did (all the people working on the book back then) and am proud that we proved so MANY naysayers wrong, not just as a fluke, but consistently for years.


And thank you for the kind thought!
