A fan-favorite comic book hero and writer are soaring to comic book success.
At Emerald City Comicon we talked with rising star Jody Houser following huge news:
Just before the Seattle event Valiant Entertainment announced Faith, her four-part limited series was becoming an ongoing title then Houser was announced as writer of a new book in a DC Comics imprint.
