Todays guest is one of the most exciting writers in the industry today. Able to balance working for Marvel, DC and on her own independent books, she has come a long way since winning the Top Cow talent hunt in 2013. Working her way through powerhouse franchises such as Rick & Morty, Barbie and Power Rangers, she found herself exclusively signed to Marvel in 2019. While there she worked on British Favourite Death’s Head, as well as being an integral park of the Krakoa era with Excalibur and X of Swords. That’s not to mention writing the likes of Thanos, Strikeforce and Age of Conan – Belit. But she finally saw the light and joined the light side, writing for DC, working her way through the femme fatales of Harley Quinn, Punchline and overseeing a seminal run on Catwoman, which also crossed over with Zdarsky’s Batman in an excellent event, The Gotham War. Our guest today is Tini Howard!
