Andrea Shea is the newest senior editor at DC Comics. This promotion news comes as their current event series Justice League: Dream Girls is underway, and the recent conclusion of their Sirens: Love Hurts and Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham limited series from the Black Label imprint.

Shea joined DC in 2015 just as the company made its historic move from New York City to Burbank, California. Coming to the publisher after a one-year stint at nearby Aspen Comics, Shea began at DC as an executive assistant, and after two years, moved into the editorial department and worked their way up from Assistant Editor to Associate Editor, Editor, and now Senior Editor over the course of a now 11-year career at DC Comics.

One of several key initiatives Shea has been a part of is DC's increased focus on LGBTQIA+, including as part of its annual Pride Month publishing efforts. Through the efforts of Shea and others at DC, this focus hasn't been pigeonholed to just one month out of the year, but has become a ubiquitous part of DC's publishing line.

"We at DC exist at a midpoint of a road built by every courageous decision that's preceded our place on it," Shea says in an internal Warner Bros. Discovery interview. "And we stand on the shoulders of publishers, editors, writers, and artists who made those decisions long before we ever came along. It's an honor to continue their work." 

Within the editorial of both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, a senior editor is normally in charge of a group of titles (sometimes formal, sometimes informal), with examples such as DC's Batman titles, Wonder Woman titles (dubbed the Themyscira office), the Superman titles, and others. It isn't known at this time what Shea's full portfolio of titles will be as they step into their new DC Comics senior editor role.
