Beginning in 2006, she and Willingham co-wrote the 50-issue Jack of Fables (a spin-off from Willingham's popular Fables series). In 2008 she began writing the 42-issue House of Mystery. After signing an exclusive deal with DC Comics later that year, Sturges wrote Blue Beetle from #29 to its end with #36, and Final Crisis Aftermath: Run! featuring the Human Flame. In 2009 she partnered again with Willingham writing Justice Society of America beginning with issue #29.
