It was published by Dynamite Entertainment.[51] Starting in March 2019, Thompson wrote a five-issue Sabrina the Teenage Witch miniseries for Archie Comics,[52] which concluded in September of that same year.[53] The miniseries was met with critical acclaim and it won 2019's IGN People's Choice award.[54][55]

In 2021, Thompson launched a deal with Substack to create exclusive comics, such as Black Cloak, with artwork done by her Jem collaborator Meredith McClaren, and The Cull, with art done by Mattia de Lulis.[56] In 2022, it was announced that Black Cloak would receive a print release via Image Comics in January 2023.[57] In May 2023, it was announced that The Cull would also receive a print release via Image, with the first issue set to release August that same year.[58]

Activism

In June 2019, Thompson joined the Shots Fired project to raise money to combat gun violence. The comic was published by Comicker Press, and was scheduled to be released later that year after a successful Kickstarter funding campaign. The proceeds from the book's sale went to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and the Community Justice Reform Coalition.[68]

Works in other media

In 2012, she launched a Kickstarter campaign for her first novel, The Girl Who Would Be King. The crowdfunded campaign reached $26,478, 330% of its original goal, and was released in September of that same year. The story involves two girls with extraordinary powers, one who uses them for good, one for bad, who are about to meet for the first time.[69][70][71] In 2014, the novel was optioned for a movie adaptation by Logan Pictures. Thompson told io9, "We had a lot of interest in the book. I think we had at least half a dozen legitimate companies inquiring about the rights. We also had some more intimate interest from writers and smaller producers, a couple film agents also came calling."[70][72]
