Grace Randolph studied at NYU Film, and was part of the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy group.[3]

Comic books

From 2008 to 2009, Randolph wrote for Tokyopop's manga adaptations of the Warcraft and Starcraft video game franchises.[3][4]

In 2009, the first comic book Randolph wrote was DC Comics' Justice League Unlimited.[5] She went on to write Boom! Studios' Muppet Peter Pan, which was a reinterpretation of Peter Pan as a Muppet story.[6] In 2010, she wrote Her-oes, a comic book mini-series about the teenage years of some of Marvel Comics' female Avengers.[7][8] In 2011, she wrote for Archaia's Fraggle Rock comic.[9]

In 2012, Randolph created and wrote the original comic book series, Grace Randolph's Supurbia, which was published by Boom! Studios.[10][11][12][13] Supurbia is a Real Housewives interpretation of the superhero genre, which "explores the drama of superheroes' personal lives" within the context of a suburban lifestyle.[14][15][16] It was initially intended to be a limited, four-issue series, but was renewed due to popular interest and spawned another twelve issues.[17][18]

She has also written for Marvel Comics' X-Men: Nation X.[6][19]

YouTube and TV

In 2008, Randolph created Beyond the Trailer, a YouTube channel which discusses movies and the movie industry.[20][21] Movie Math, a segment which covered box office performance, has since been spun off into its own, additional channel.[17] In 2012, Beyond the Trailer became a part of Penske Media Corporation's digital network.[22][23]

From 2010 to 2011, Grace Randolph was the host of Marvel Comics' weekly web news show, The Watcher.[24][25]

In association with Bleeding Cool, in 2011, she created the YouTube channel Think About the Ink. The videos explore comic books and the comic book industry, as well as TV adaptations of comic book properties. [15][26]

From 2012 to 2013, she was associated with Movieline,[27] and in 2014 and 2015, she was an entertainment correspondent for WTNH NEWS8, appearing on Good Morning Connecticut.[28]

As of March 2017, Beyond The Trailer on YouTube has over 600,000 subscribers and over 485 million total views.[29]
