Looking For Jody Houser

Archer: C'mon, what's wrong?
Faith: It's the last day of the con, and I still haven't seen the writer of my books, Jody Houser.

Archer: Who's this again?
Faith: It's Vita Ayala. She's writing the new Livewire book.
Archer: Livewire? Wasn't she in the Harbinger series too?
Faith: Yeah, like me, she's another breakout character. She's got her own series now.

Archer: Hey, it's Joshua Dysart! He wrote your Harbinger series!
Faith: Yeah, I miss being with him. But a girl's gotta strut her stuff, you know?

Faith: Do you see Jody outside?
Archer: Not a sign. Maybe she's on a panel.

Archer: Babe! We missed the Nintendo Quiz Bowl II!
Faith: Do you even know what that is?
Archer: Ah, it sounds like Martial Arts.
Faith: Trust me, you didn't miss anything. Let's go see the Bloodshot panel. 
Archer: Are you sure that's wise? He's a pretty violent guy.
Faith: I'll risk it. As it's a Valiant panel, we might see Jody Houser.

Archer: Psst. Is that her?
Faith: Yes! Finally, that's Jody Houser!! She's my author!!! 
Archer: I don't understand. What's she doing on the IDW panel?
Faith: She's writing the new Star Trek series for IDW. 
Archer: Oh, I liked that TV series. I'm glad you made me watch it.
Faith: It's not as great as Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe, but it's got more episodes.
Archer: You said she had blue streaks in her hair because she was writing your book.
Faith: I guess she's honoring all the unnamed red shirts who will die in her Star Trek stories.
Archer: With those glasses, she looks like a cat.
Faith: Well, cat cosplay covers are popular variants at Valiant. It's her way of signaling that she loves Valiant more than any other comic book company.
Archer: Even though she's not writing your Faith series right now?
Faith: Uh, let's not talk about that. It's too painful.
Archer: Oh. Sorry.

Archer: So what do you think? Was it a successful convention?
Faith: Well, I didn't get to meet Jody Houser, but at least I know she's still writing.
Archer: Maybe she'll write another Faith series after she finishes up Star Trek.
Faith: If her voyage on the USS Enterprise takes her five years, I swear I'll cry.
Archer: You mean like Mr. Spock in "The Naked Time"?
Faith: Oh, you're so awesome.

The Magic of Wondercon

Archer: What's the rush? The convention center won't even be open yet.
Faith: But all the people will be there. I want to see their costumes.
Archer: Are you sure attending another con is wise? Don't you remember what happened last time?
Faith: You mean meeting another villain cosplaying as a giant mouse, who rips off dealers in the exhibit hall, and creates an alternative version of me? The chances of all that happening a second time are incredibly low.
Archer: But it could happen.
Faith: Of course. Anything can happen at a con. We might get drafted onto a panel. We might meet R2-D2 or X-O Manowar. We might even catch a sneak peak of next year's Bloodshot movie starring Vin Diesel. So let's go. Let's see what happens! Let's be part of the entire wondrous, magical experience!
Archer: Baa-leep. Do-ba-beep-do?
Faith: No. I'm sure X-O Manowar would never hurt R2-D2.
