Felker-Martin’s DC Comics Work
In June 2024, Felker-Martin authored a short story for issue #41 of Harley Quinn. Exactly a year later, in June 2025, DC Comics revealed that she would be the primary creator of a new adult-oriented Red Hood comic series.
She is a transgender writer and uses she/her pronouns.
Reaction
Criticism is being directed at DC Comics following comments made recently, with conservative communities leading the charge. These remarks may also lead to increased examination of DC Comics, as they have previously faced criticism for the political views expressed by their creators and leadership, which has affected fans, sales, and the characters themselves.
Currently, neither DC Comics nor Warner Bros. Discovery have issued a response regarding the statements made by Felker-Martin.
