Today Dan is gushing about comics writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. Most well-known for reimagining Captain Marvel as well as for her creator-owned comics Pretty Deadly and Bitch Planet, Kelly Sue is a feminist pusher of boundaries in a field long dominated by men. And even if you ignore all that, she's also just a darn good writer! She's currently wrapping up her work on Aquaman, which has garnered critical and commercial acclaim.
NOTES / DON'T @ US
I think we actually didn't screw up too badly this time!
We tried to eliminate background noise but it was raining and we have dogs and families and stuff, so long story short sorry for the background noise. Hopefully it’s atmospheric and not annoying.
At one point early on, Dan says Matt Fraction wrote the Iron Man arc that a big chunk of the movies are based on, but that was wrong. His second guess was right, that it was a certain gross dude who wrote good comics but is also gross and did gross things and we're not going to talk about him when there are way better people to talk about.
All of Kelly Sue DeConnick's comics are (obviously) written by her. Her Avengers and Captain Marvel work (art by a zillion people) is through Marvel Comics. Bitch Planet (art by Valentine De Landro) and Pretty Deadly (art by Emma Ríos) are through Image Comics. Aquaman (art by Miguel Mendonça) is through DC Comics.
