Comic book writer Kelly Sue DeConnick will appear at GeekGirlCon 2013. The event celebrates the contributions of women to geek culture in comics, science, gaming, film and more.
DeConnick has been in the industry for the last decade, writing comics and adapting manga into English including the scripts for Kare First Love, Black Cat, Sexy Voice and Robo and Blue Spring.
DeConnick’s best-known mainstream comics work is with Marvel Comics. Ms. Marvel became Captain Marvel with DeConnick at the helm of the new series that debuted last year with Carol Danvers in a new costume and role.
DeConnick became the first female writer on an Avengers title: Avengers Assemble. Watch out for Avengers: The Enemy Within – a major crossover with Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble (all written by DeConnick) coming in May and continuing in June and July.
DeConnick worked with Brian Michael Bendis on graphic novels based on the Castle television series.
GeekGirlCon is October 19 and 20 at The Conference Center at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
