Today, we welcome acclaimed writer Devin Grayson to discuss her groundbreaking career that began with her first published script "Like Riding a Bike" in Batman Chronicles in 1997 and led to her becoming the first woman to create, launch and write an ongoing Batman title with Batman: Gotham Knights. Devin shares her journey from studying creative writing at Bard College to becoming one of DC's most prominent writers, working on titles like Catwoman, Nightwing, and The Titans and contributing to the award-winning No Man's Land story arc. We explore her character creations that have transcended comics, including Black Widow's Yelena Belova and The Titan's Damien Darhk. Devin also discusses her recent work including the original graphic novel Rewild through Dark Horse's Berger Books imprint, her Marvel novel Doctor Strange: The Fate of Dreams, and her deeply personal creator-owned series USER about gender identity and online role-playing.
