What are you currently working on?

Chris Dee I'm working on a Matches Malone story. Matches is Batman's underworld cover and Catwoman appears as Gina O'Malley, originally Georgina Barnes, an identity Selina had used to infiltrate Wall Street a couple of times, which Bruce appropriated and repurposed to be a cover for grifter Gina. While the story is superficially about his going undercover with the Irish Mob in Hell's Kitchen, it's also about updating this character who's something of a dusty throwback. So I started with a heavy film noir tone, and there's a lot of gentrification in the neighborhood that mirrors the changes in Malone himself. In my head, I imagine this tale beginning with an aching sax from a John Barry score and progressing to Bosshouse's We All Go Down As One by the end.
