<\/a><\/figure>\nFirst things first, my copies of Never A Sidekick<\/em> have arrived and they look so nice. Rowman & Littlefield always does such a great job putting my books together, and this one is no exception. I\u2019m delighted with how this one turned out, and I hope all of you who pre-ordered a copy have it now and that you\u2019re enjoying it as well. I\u2019ve seen some folks on social media post about reading it, and it\u2019s wonderful to know that the book is out in the world now.<\/p>\n Also, I\u2019ve been talking about it a bunch! First up, I was on Holy BatCast<\/em> #463<\/a>, chatting with Andy about all of the Batgirls and how each character evolved over the years. It was a super fun conversation, with someone who knows and loves Batman and the Bat-universe a lot. I had a great time talking with him.<\/p>\n Next, I was on Season 5, Episode 1 of The Comic Bin Podcast<\/em><\/a>, digging into the book as well as my work and career with Theo. This was a great conversation as well, with some interesting and thoughtful questions from Theo that were cool to dig into. Plus there was a lightning round! I love a lightning round.<\/p>\n Check out both of those podcast episodes, as well as all of the other fantastic episodes of each show! And don\u2019t forget to take a look at my ongoing deep dive into fun panels and images from the history of Batgirl on my social media accounts! After a brief holiday hiatus, we\u2019re back with one last week looking at the modern incarnations of Batgirl in comics over the past 15 years. You can follow along on \u00a0Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n \t<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n
