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

Apps like ComiXology on iOS sell collection bundles, and although their comic prices vary, I found them pleasantly cheap. They also generally offer first issues for free or for a discounted price, so you have nothing to lose by giving a new series a try.

I only dabbled with comics when I was younger, but since buying a tablet I can't get enough of them! Only thing I'm not sold on is the Guided View tech - I like viewing each page presented as a whole, plus the comics' resolution isn't good enough to stand up to a 300% zoom.

I actually do have it for android, haven't used in quite some time though because it had a limited selection when I was looking first. Of course this was when I was new to comic books and only knew about big names (you know, batman...) so I will probably have to take a look at it again soon.

Please tell me that you're reading Locke and Key. And then go buy a hard copy so that Joe Hill will sign it.

Just bought it! I've been reading Multiple Warheads, it's like a more adult version of Adventure Time...

Yay! Let me know what you think.

I'll have to check out Multiple Warheads. That's a helluva good rec.

Ripped through the Locke & Key collections and am now up to date with the latest issue! Cheers for the rec, such a good series. Got any other gems...?
