I do make some conscious efforts to write female friendships, intergenerational female friendships. I make a conscious effort to include things that I see as important real parts of my life that are not reflected as much as I think they should be in popular culture. We very seldom have the opportunity to see women compete and remain friends.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

Comics are not theatre - there's a very important difference in that the reader controls the page. You can linger on a page of comics as long as you want. You can read and go forward and then move back; you can reread, in one sitting or at your leisure. You can take as much time as you want to take in that story.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

I think I'm very strong at dialogue, I think I'm very strong in characterization. I think sometimes I use dialogue and character work to cover weaknesses in my plotting.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

If you can remove a female character from your plot and replace her with a sexy lamp and your story still works, you're a hack.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

My son is such a lover, such a caretaker and so funny. He's seven, and he genuinely cracks me up. And my daughter is a fearless powerhouse. They fill me with wonder and admiration.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

I hate when I get asked, 'What's it like to be a woman in comics?'

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

The notion that somehow women are wildly different infuriates me.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

Being a woman in a male-dominated industry sort of sucks, but it doesn't suck any more than being a woman in the world. My advice? Be terrifying.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

If you have a smartphone - and you have a smartphone - then you have a comic book store in your pocket. So you don't have to get over any social anxiety you have about entering that space.

From Kelly Sue DeConnick

I am a nerd among nerds.
