What do you get when you turn Gotham's most unhinged girls loose on Gothamβs most unhinged girls?
SIRENS: LOVE HURTS, a 4 (OVERSIZED!) Issue Black Label miniseries written by me and drawn by BADDIE ELITE @babsdraws !
Originally conceived of by the incredible @jesschillin_likeavillain , now in the hands of @whattheshea , Babs and I have been working on this one for literal YEARS. It's the Gotham City Sirens + Dinah doing a little Sex and the City and a little The Long Halloween. A year in the life of the Gotham girls as they deal with the realities of life and love in the city while also hunting down a deadly serial killer targeting women, with the kind of gravitas, EXTREMELY real humor, and patience Black Label lets us explore. Dinah is engaged to Ollie, Selina is on the dating scene, while Harley and Ivy haven't yet figured out that the one you need might be beside you all along.
I am SO HAPPY to let you all know that I NEVER LEFT GOTHAM, HAHAHA. As Babs said at dinner tonight, "Come for the horny, stay for the heart!' β₯οΈπ¨β₯οΈπ¨β₯οΈπββ¬οΈπΏβ¦οΈπ¦ββ¬ February 2026!

This is 100% literally actually NOT an April Fools joke - you can watch me compete on JEOPARDY! on April 17th, 2026!
I'll do a Substack with all the details but to answer a few questions -
- I took the Jeopardy anytime test on the website and went through the standard casting process, you can do it too!
- The hardest part is not knowing the questions, it's buzzing in on time. There's one question you'll see me miss when you watch the show and I buzzed in TOO EARLY and wanted to die that someone else got it. You'll know it when you see it.
- Ken Jennings is a comic book fan KEN THE GOD π«Ά
