About the author

KELLY THOMPSON has a degree in Sequential Art from The Savannah College of Art & Design. Her love of comics and superheroes have compelled her since she first discovered them as a teenager. Currently living in Portland, Oregon with her boyfriend and the two brilliant cats that run their lives, you can find Kelly all over the Internet where she is generally well liked, except where she's detested.

Kelly has published two novels - THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING (2012) and STORYKILLER (2014) and the graphic novel HEART IN A BOX from Dark Horse Comics (2015). She's currently writing ROGUE & GAMBIT, HAWKEYE, and PHASMA for Marvel Comics and GHOSTBUSTERS for IDW. Other major credits include: A-Force, Captain Marvel & The Carol Corps, Jem and The Holograms, Misfits, Power Rangers Pink, and the creator-owned mini-series Mega Princess.

Kelly's ambitions are eclipsed only by her desire to exist entirely in pajamas. Fortunately pajamas and writers go hand in hand (most of the time). Please buy all her stuff so that she can buy (and wear) more pajamas.

Reviews

[Kelvyn Packard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This may be my favorite single issue of anything. The art, while not done by Tonci Zonjic, impressively matches his style and in my opinion surpasses it. Romero's, and particularly Bellaire's work are stunning, I love the simple color palettes.
Bijou, while clearly inspired by Selina Kyle and Felicia Hardy, has an activist side to her and is branded an eco-terrorist much like Pamela Isley. She's one of my favorite additions to the universe.
That character and this little story add plenty to Skulldigger's background. It feels to me like Kelly Thompson had this idea for a Batman/Catwoman story mulling over in her head, and I'm so pleased it ended up in this anthology.

Tirando de los clásicos, pues ahí va una historieta con nuestra revisión de Catwoman (con trasfondo de Poison Ivy) para lo más cercano a Batman del universo Black Hammer. Por supuesto, complicado lograr algo del todo memorable con este planteamiento, pero Kelly Thompson consigue que sea una lectura más que competente con ese desenlace amargo que difícilmente podríamos ver en los cómics de DC de la pareja de enmascarados más célebre de Gotham City.

Ez tök jó volt. Vizuálisan is nagyon erős és történet szempontjából is korrekt. Skulldigger a Bijou nevű tolvaj csaj nyomában jár, akinek környezetvédelmi ihletésű bosszúhadjárata közben van ideje Skulldiggerrel flörtölni.
4/5

This had potential, but was cut short. Rounding up to three stars for the art.
