272. Kelly Sue DeConnick on Wonder Woman Historia, Greek tragedy and Tae Kwan Do

My idea of a lovely afternoon involves talking with Kelly Sue DeConnick! She is the acclaimed comic book writer with works that include: BITCH PLANET, PRETTY DEADLY, AQUAMAN, CAPTAIN MARVEL & her newest release Wonder Woman Historia. I enjoyed getting to know Kelly Sue in our first episode where we discussed her writing origins and her work on Captain Marvel. In this episode, we discuss Wonder Woman Historia, Greek tragedies, and martial arts philosophy. I am so grateful to Kelly Sue for taking time out of her extremely busy schedule to discuss Wonder Woman Historia and answer some listener questions. Kelly Sue is one of those people you want to hang on to every word she says. I loved this conversation and hope you will too. I feel so fortunate to have developed a friendship with so many humans who I respect and admire.
