One Cassandra Cain To Rule Them All

I know I said I wasn’t going to post about this today, but who am I kidding? I’ve been waiting most of my life to get to write this character — I’m just gonna NOT talk about it? No, no, I AM gonna talk about it, if only because people should ALWAYS be talking about Cassandra Cain. ;D

Seriously, she is one of my favorite characters in all of comics and this has been a dream come true. Let’s hope I don’t fuck it up!

Oh. In case you missed it yesterday, I’m writing the new BIRDS OF PREY from DC Comics (Sept 2023) and we’re slow rolling out the team Black Canary is building all week on social media.

We’ve also got a bunch of comics folks talking about us, which is nice — there’s not a lot of additional information at these links (because we haven’t given much more info yet) — but it’s REALLY exciting to see the enthusiasm for the the return of the book and our awesome creative team (Leonardo Romero, Jordie Bellaire):

Bleeding Cool

We also legit trended on Twitter — a thing I don’t think has ever actually happened to me before — I mean, CAPTAIN MARVEL trends quite a bit, but it’s typically not primarily about the comic when it happens.

Actual legit trending on broken ass twitter 6/5/23 the year of our lords or whatever - this is one for my scrapbook! JK what’s a scrapbook?! Who’s THAT old? NOT ME. ;D

So this was awesome, and was a super warm welcome from DC fans. Thank you!

I hope they’re all still talking to me by Friday! Whee!

More tomorrow probably… because I love that character TOO. Dammit!

(these are very good problems to have!)
