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!

In 2012, Randolph created and wrote the original comic book series, Grace Randolph's Supurbia, which was published by Boom!

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]
