"Working with Sean has allowed us to leverage our creative partnership's best advantages," Collins said. "Living and working together lets us be constant sounding boards for each other and that back and forth feedback has been a huge help and inspiration in crafting my vision of Harley Quinn for this story."
"While developing Batman: White Knight and Batman: Curse of the White Knight, it became clear that there were rich backgrounds and stories to explore beyond the main series," Murphy said. "I couldn't be more excited to work alongside Katana, Matteo, and Matt Hollingsworth to enrich and expand this world in a way that's just as rewarding for new readers as it is for loyal Batman: White Knight fans."
