Amy Reeder was first discovered through the fourth of Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga competitions[2] and went on to write and illustrate the OEL manga Fool's Gold.[3]

Reeder became the lead artist on the Madame Xanadu series from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, with writer Matt Wagner.[4] In a 2007 interview, she credited editor Brandon Montclare with helping her break into the comics industry.[5] In Spring 2010 DC announced that she would take over alternate art duties for the Batwoman series with J. H. Williams III,[6] in addition to providing variant covers to that title and Supergirl.[7] She then left the Batwoman book due to "creative differences" in the middle of the next story arc.[8][9] Reeder moved to Image Comics and created Rocket Girl with writer Brandon Montclare.[10]
