Reeder became the lead artist on the Madame Xanadu series from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, with writer Matt Wagner. In a 2007 interview, she credited editor Brandon Montclare with helping her get her start in the comics industry. In 2010, DC announced that she would take over alternate art duties for the Batwoman series with J. H. Williams III, in addition to providing variant covers to that title and Supergirl, the latter of which she began with issue 55. She then left the Batwoman book due to "creative differences" in the middle of the next story arc. Reeder moved to Image Comics and created Rocket Girl with writer Brandon Montclare. In 2015, she and Montclare began co-writing Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur for Marvel Comics. She wrote and drew a six-issue Amethyst limited series in 2020.
