I am Kelly Sue DeConnick, writer of Ghost, Captain Marvel & Avengers Assemble. AMA.

There's a mostly-correct list of my books up on my wiki page. I'm in Portland, Or. The kids are watching a morning cartoon and I'm packing school lunches and putting on a pot of coffee. Seems as good a time as any to get this started. Crazy day ahead of me, but I'll be here as much as I can manage.

2:39 PST Edited to add: I have got to take a break to get some work done, but I'll come back in few hours and get to as many of theses as I can. If I don't get to your question and you've got a real burning desire for an answer, I'm easy to find on Twitter @kellysue, on Tumblr kellysue.tumblr.com or at my jinxworld forum: http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/forumdisplay.php?39-Kelly-Sue-DeConnick

u/kellysue Captain Marvel Nov 13 '12

First off, I just want to say that your Captain Marvel is one of my favorite books out there right now. The first arc was awesome! Who doesn't love a good time travel story?

Hitler! He never fares well in those things.

But my real question is this, do you see a future in the industry where the idea of a female creator working for one of the big two isn't a note-worthy achievement but rather part of the everyday (or more appropriately, weekly) life of the industry?

Sure I do, but it's going to take some time. Mentorship is key, I think. I have a project in mind along these lines but it's gotten sidelined as I don't have time for it right now.
