'Pretty Deadly' is the story of these immortal and mortal characters, and the mortals' story follows Sarah's family, a black family, through the ages. I never made the choice of, 'Oh, this is gonna be the story of an African American family!' Kelly Sue DeConnick africanageamerican share on social

I think women are vital to the future of the superhero comics and the entire industry - as creators, as editors, as consumers, as retailers. Kelly Sue DeConnick comicconsumercreator Change image and share on social
