Industry Focus
Kate has been a Robin expert since childhood, but writing comic book news for Screen Rant means she gets to fulfill her high school dream of being exactly like Lois Lane. She primarily covers DC Comics, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and more. She also covers independent and creator-owned comics from DSTLRY, Image, Dark Horse, and more.
Favorite Media
Recently, Kate has been loving a range of DC books, from Poison Ivy to Green Arrow to the Flash. She's been diving into classic '60s Marvel, but loves the Runaways, Young Avengers, and Rainbow Rowell's She-Hulk. She's been reading Saga since its first issue. Kate's favorite Robin is Tim Drake, and she's always willing to tell you why.
