Kelly Sue DeConnick is the writer of some of our very favorite comics, including Pretty Deadly, Bitch Planet, and the Eisner Award-winning Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. You can catch a glimpse of her in the MCU's Captain Marvel, which was based on her vision for Carol Danvers. Her current Dark Horse series, FML, is on stands now, and if you’re not reading it, what are you even doing?
