Kelly Sue Deconnick ascended the dais to discuss "Pretty Deadly," her book with Emma Rios. "It's our attempt to revive the spirit of Sergio Leone," she said. "It is a Western assassin competing for a prize she does not necessarily want." She said the book is about "the beauty and what we embrace about it, and the destruction," before adding, "How pretentious does that sound?"

...

Deconnick described "Pretty Deadly" as following a woman who is disfigured, which actually gives her certain privileges in society. "It's expected that, well, she'll never marry, so she has to be able to own property," she said, listing other benefits as well before stopping herself. "I am not selling this book, am I?"

"It's about sex and violence," Stephenson added wryly.

That looks pretty cool. Will get.

On the downside, Marvel has announced it's next slate of films, phase two or whatever, which will be:

Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Ant-Man (not sure how final they are on that one)

Which I'm sure will all have amazing female love interests and supporting characters. And a raccoon.

There goes the slightest chance of me buying that comic. Which is good, as I'm going to be spending all my money on DeConnick.
