At Emerald City Comic Con, Black Nerd Problems talked to writer Magdalene Vissagio (Kim & Kim, Eternity Girl), and Corin Howell (IDWs Ghostbusters, X-Files) about their new book Calamity Kate from Dark Horse Comics. The story follows Kate Strand, a woman whose divorce sparked her to uproot her life and move to LA where she can follow her dream of becoming a monster killer. Calamity Kate’s got leather jackets, samurai swords, and giant decapitated scaly heads.
Black Nerd Problems: How would you describe Calamity Kate to a fan of comics that’s never read anything other than Marvel or DC before? Like someone who hasn’t ventured outside of mainstream superhero comics.
Magdalene Visaggio: It’s about a woman—who after a very nasty divorce—decides to burn her life to the ground and reinvent herself so she gets a bunch of tattoos, changes her style, hops into a 1979 Lincoln Continental with a Samurai sword driving across the country and cutting off the heads of goblins. She becomes the monster hunter she always wanted to be to sort of deal with the trauma of her divorce.
BNP: It kind of reminded me of a superhero book in the sense where it seems like monster hunters kind of take the place of what superheroes would be in this world.
MV: Yeah, to a degree. I was treating them more as celebrities. But with superheroes, there’s definitely a lot of crossover there too. And it’s definitely like tonally—it feels to me a lot like a Marvel book. It’s got that kind of mixture of humor and pathos that’s so characteristic of that company’s tradition. But yeah, I never really thought about it in those terms. You’re not the first person to bring that up, and I never thought of that. To me, the analogy was that they’re stars.
BNP: What creative sources outside of comics would you say were most influential for you while developing this book?
Corin Howell: H.P. Lovecraft.
MV: I’m not sure. I’m really not sure. I don’t always know what’s influencing me. I wasn’t consciously drawing from anything. But I love road stories. I love over the top bombastic action. There’s probably a lot of stuff that’s feeding into it. One unconscious influence that my editor noticed was John Cheever’s short story The Swimmer. There’s a good deal of some of the fantastical elements of that story. How time flows. And I’ve always loved that story.
BNP: Same question, but more specific to Kate. What’s her main source of inspiration?
MV: Kate’s based a lot on my own worst impulses. In the same way that Kim Q is in Kim & Kim, they’re just different shitty parts of me. I got divorced last year and that was a really, really rough experience. And I wanted nothing more than to burn my life to the ground. I looked at my bank account, saw I had $7,000, and was like, I could go to LA. And I didn’t do that. But all of the different forms of what I’ve been calling creative self-destruction— some of which I did and some I didn’t do. Stuff that I was contemplating at the time. Like getting a bunch of tattoos. Getting piercings. Changing how I dress. Changing my hair. Moving across the country. Just completely rebooting my whole life. I just did that through her.
BNP: And for Corin, in terms of developing her look, was that all based on descriptions from Mags, or did you have any creative input?
CH: Mags had an overall description of that punk kind of rebellious look, But I had the idea of like the Peter Parker scenario. Peter Parker is like the nerd, he’s kind of plain. He’s not really loved. He’s just kind of there. But as soon as he’s bitten by a spider, he gets abs and now he’s a superhero. So it’s kind of like the idea of taking a character that was kind of like plain looking before the divorce, like straight hair, wore plain clothes, very plain colors, not really the most interesting person in the room. But as soon as this horrible thing happens in her life, she does a 180 and she just lets her hair go wavy and lets her hair down and gets the leather jacket and the tattoos, the lace, the piercings. And just kind of like allowing that rebellious nature to overtake her personality.
MV: And those are all impulses that she had been like suppressing as she was trying to sort of be the person that her partner wanted her to be. That’s something that’s gonna play out through flashbacks over the course of the book. Sort of the way their relationship was toxic and the way they hurt each other. So, everything she’s doing is a reaction to that. The no longer feeling hemmed in, but also the impulse to self-discover. She’s exploring parts of herself she never let herself get into.
BNP: So how does the relationship work between the two of you? Like from script to page. Are you super detailed in the scripts, or do you play it fast and loose?
MV: Do you think I’m too detailed in my scripts?
CH: Nah (Laughs)
MV: I try to be very Spartan in my scripting. She’s got such an incredible command of the page. And especially her action sequences. In more recent scripts, I’m just like here’s an action page with roughly some of the beats. Here’s where it needs to be by the end. But I trust you to do the choreography for that. Because otherwise, I feel like I get really repetitive.
CH: It’s just like very open. That’s what I like about it. This happens and this happens and this happens. And it’s like okay, I’ll just do this then.
MV: The way I see it is like the artist is the co-storyteller, and, I feel like unless I need something really specific for this story to advance the way I want it to with the themes, in which case, I’ll communicate. But otherwise, it’s just—I try to trust whoever I’m working with to handle that. To take command of the visual art of it. That’s their expertise. My expertise is—as much as anyone could claim it—like pacing and plot development and dialogue. I try to think of things that would be sort of interesting to draw. And things that would be interesting to see.
CH: I sometimes have a problem with being repetitive. So, the way I’ll counteract that is like making it in silhouette form. So, it’s like you’re not seeing every detail but you can tell what’s going on so that way it’s kind of alluding to letting the reader figure out what other borders are they seeing on the page.
MV: One of the things I really wanted to accomplish in the action that Corin nailed is that I wanted the action to feel very free-flowing. Like I kind of realized that’s what I wanted when I started the scripting process in the early pages. Like she slams on the breaks, the car spins out, she climbs on top, and leaps right at the reader. I was like well that’s the vibe of every fight in this book. It’s gotta be like that. It’s gotta have that movement. So, I can’t remember the name—I don’t do a ton of anime. That’s never really been my passion. But there’s this one director who I know does a lot of things with people running and leaping from rooftop to rooftop as they fight.
CH: I mean I was just kind of going back to Fooly Cooly. Like I remember maybe the fourth episode? Where Haruko is dressed up as a Playboy bunny and she’s fighting this giant monster that looks like an old ‘20s gangster, and he’s got like this giant shotgun and she’s never standing still. She’s running up the shotgun with her guitar, flipping, rolling, bouncing and then literally taking the blow with the guitar.
MV: That’s interesting. Fooly Cooly is also like a huge influence on myself which is funny because I don’t think I’ve seen it since 2006.
CH: Oh, I own it. I watch it like once every few years.
MV: I think it’s funny because considering how I was handling my side of choreography, I was kind of going for that same kind of thing. So, I guess that was one of my influences. Fooly Cooly seeps into like everything I do as a good show with a badass soundtrack. Still own that soundtrack.
BNP: Who would you like to play the role of Kate if the book ever got adapted?
MV: I’m so bad at that. I don’t cast. Other people are like “Oh, they should play them.” And I’m like yeah, sure. Whatever they say just becomes my choice.
CH: That’s a tough one, actually. Maybe Emma Stone. She could pull off the kind of facial expressions that I would want Kate to have. She’s expressive enough.
BNP: So one of the things that I noticed—I had to go back and double check—but there were no men in the issue. And I thought that was really interesting and dope. I feel like that had to be on purpose, right?
MV: Oh, god. That never even occurred to me!
CH: I think there’s like one in the background somewhere.
BNP: Maybe one. Definitely nobody with dialogue, though.
MV: That never even occurred to me! Holy crap. Totally accidental. I don’t know if it was necessarily an unconscious influence, but I mean I populate my comics with empowered women characters. That’s absolutely a priority for me. But I guess I’m neglecting the boys (Laughs). I think I wrote the reporter as a guy, and you drew a woman.
CH: It just said reporterm and I just defaulted to like a cute chick. So, that’s what I went with.
MV: I’m into it. She was cute.
BNP: So, what’s been the most fulfilling process of developing this story?
MV: Oh, publication always. Always publication. Because then it’s out there and it’s in the world. And people can react to it and they’ll have their response, and their response is their internalization of the story and what it meant for them. That’s when a story comes to life. When other people get to bring their experience to it.
CH: Coming from a person who’s worked in IPs and licensing for a while, finally being able to spread my wings and do what I’ve always wanted to do—draw horror and monsters and just everything that I draw on my off time is what I’ve always wanted. And I mean I also have a pitch in the works that is gonna involve this and actually does have two main male characters (laughs). But like being able to draw this and show it to the world that, “hey I actually love doing this a lot.” It’s just like Ta-da! This is what I love doing, please like it!
BNP: What would be the one thing you’d want fans to take away from experiencing this story?
MV: I try not to worry about that. For me, I just try to work on portraying the emotion, honestly. And giving people something to react to. I can’t control what their reaction is. This goal was for me always. I’m having these emotions. I’m having these impulses. And I want to explore those in a way that feels healthy. And if other people take something from that, that’s good, that’s up to them. I did the work that I needed to do. And any emotional work or analytical work or any other type of internalization that a reader does, that’s gonna be their experience with that.
CH: Being able to inspire some young artist out there is kinda what I want. That’s always been my thing. I grew up in a very religious community—not really religious, just really uptight. And being an artist meant you were always gonna be poor. You should consider being a nurse or whatever. And so I would always say F You and keep drawing anyways. But I wanted that kind of inspiration like you know, it’s okay to pursue your love of art and kind of inspire other young artists out there as well.

If you spent any time at all on social media yesterday, you’ll know that it was Diana Ross’ 75th birthday. The musical icon’s impact was obvious as celebrities and media outlets alike took time to wish the singer a happy birthday, acknowledging her for revolutionizing the music industry, fashion, and—well—pretty much everything. Leading the online celebration was Ross’ daughter and our favorite girlfriend, Tracee Ellis Ross, who popped up on the gram donning a crisp, white “I’m Gonna Win” t-shirt in honor of her momma. We all know Tracee is no stranger to the casual slay, but this motto comes with a message. Tracee’s t-shirt is part of a newly-launched collection from the Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign, a marketing platform geared toward supporting women’s causes. Proceeds from the “I’m Gonna Win” T-Shirt ($35.00, phenomenalwoman.us) benefit Higher Heights for America, a national organization devoted to the education, representation and advancement of Black women within the political sphere.
The “I’m Gonna Win” campaign features a variety of mini-Dianas on a tennis court in homage to the original image of the singer. The message is simple and strong: women will win. Win, we shall. The caption of one image reads, “in a male-dominated world, women can succeed by being their authentic selves,” a truth that speaks directly to Diana Ross’ record-breaking success both within Motown and in entertainment at large. The imagery of the tennis courts and rackets also calls to mind the phenom that is Serena Williams, another pioneer for Black women in a traditionally male-centric space. It goes to show that in any industry, women—Black women—disturb the status quo and elevate the game for everyone involved.
Tracee wasn’t the only one to get in on the fun. Tons of Black female celebrities hit the gram in their “winning” t-shirts. Shonda Rhimes, Teyana Taylor, Lena Waithe, Yvonne Orji, Mya, Eve, Debbie Allen, Robin Roberts, Angela Bassett and MC Lyte were just a few of the many women who threw their support behind the campaign. The Phenomenal Woman Action collection also features an “I’m Gonna Win” baby onesie ($30.00, phenomenalwoman.us) and an “I’m Gonna Win” baseball hat ($35.00, phenomenalwoman.us), available for pre-order.
If cute clothes and Mama Diana aren’t enough to pique your interest, keep in mind that proceeds from your purchase will help Higher Heights for America continue to develop national infrastructure to increase the presence of Black women in positions of political power. With women like Stacey Abrams rumored for the next Democratic presidential ticket, organizations like Higher Heights are critical in helping to change the narrative on what political power looks like. A worthy cause, if ever I’ve seen one—plus, the tee looks great with jeans. Win-win!
Would you rock the “I’m Gonna Win” t-shirt? Leave a comment below!
Star Trek is one of the longest-running sci-fi franchises on the planet. Trekkies come in all ages and that’s why we feature Star Trek baby clothes and onesies for the next generation of fans. Rest assured, if you are purchasing for your own family or as a gift for a friend, you’ll find the best selection of Star Trek baby apparel below.
How cool would it be if our children could actually grow up to work on a giant space station or star ship? I don’t have a lot of confidence in that happening any time soon, but this Star Trek Starfleet Cadet onesie keeps hope alive.
Space is the final frontier, that’s true in real life and in Star Trek. Your little one gets to grow up discovering and learning so many things that we can only imagine are possible. That’s awesome.
There’s no better well wishes for the new baby in your life. Spock really knew what was up. The classic hand symbol is really what any baby needs for some super classy (and way retro) baby wear.
Let the world know your kiddo will always be number one (even when you’re dealing with number twos) with this onesie featuring the ever-dashing William Riker.
You obviously know how we feel about poo jokes. And we imagine if you are looking here for gift ideas, you probably feel the same way. In fact, the only person we can think of who might not get a chuckle at this onesie is probably Spock, and he’s a special case.
Next Generation Costume Onesie
I LOVE these rompers. If you had triplets, you could have a little academy of your own with command red, yellow, and blue uniforms for your little cadets.
Don’t fret, Spock doesn’t smile for just anyone. Although, I do recall a couple of episodes where Kirk gets Spock to crack a grin. Kirk could be a big baby sometimes, though.
You’re not hardcore unless you live hardcore. Exploring space for years at a time is way hardcore. Get your little bundle of illogic started right. Hopefully, you guys can figure the prosper part out later on.
Teaching your kid about science starts earlier than you think and Star Trek is the perfect introduction. I know you’ll have to wait a few years, but this onesie will be a reminder for you.
Starfleet Spock Uniform Onesie
Ignoring this would be illogical. Are you (or your infant) more the science officer than command or engineer type? If so, you need this Starfleet blue uniform creeper. Live long and… you know.
Lead your fellowship to our Lord Of The Rings baby clothes.
Some would say that your little one is the captain now, but maybe they are a little young to go gallivanting off on space adventures. Definitely a possibility for the future, however.
Speaking of captains, why not simply dress your baby up as one now. You know who is in charge. Your little one is the captain of this crew. Hope you’re keeping a stardate log of all their adventures.
What’s your favorite Star Trek crew? A lot of people would argue that the Next Generation is best. I’m not getting into that debate, but your infant is definitely the next generation of your family. See what I did there?
How can you resist cuddles from your little baby? It’s tough, right? Well, not so much when they are screaming bloody murder. I love the little blocks in this design, they look like the Borg’s Cube.
Raising kids makes you feel like you’re constantly being shot with a phaser. You’re always in a daze, not sure if it’s day or night outside. You’re either working, cleaning, or shoving food in your baby’s mouth. Then there are those dirty diapers.
Reading Rainbow Trekkie Onesie
It’s in a book or in this case maybe it’s on TV. I still sing the Reading Rainbow theme in the shower. Is that weird? Also, how does Forge see with these glasses? Are they even glasses?
Spock didn’t seem like the partying type, so I’m not sure if it’s really fun to party like a Vulcan. Your baby isn’t much for parties either unless it involves eating or cuddles. Maybe partying like a Vulcan involves deep philosophical conversations. That could be fun.
As parents we like to think we’re in control, but as insecure adults we know who’s really flying this spaceship. Let the world know who is really in charge with this romper.
Is it really the uniform or is it their brain? Maybe it’s simply Spock’s ears. I’m not sure what it is, but I think lots of people love Star Trek. Or are we talking about babies? Is it babies in Star Trek uniforms? Well, we feature that as well.
Teleportation theory rarely involves discussing which beverages can be instantly sent to babies. However, I’m sure you’d like to beam up a bottle to your baby while you can enjoy snoozing in your bed for another ten minutes.
Shots fired, Disney. Not every kid wants to grow up as a spoiled pampered princess. Some want to grow up to take on the Klingons or Borg and make astounding discoverers on the edge of the Universe.
If you are looking for a design that captures the original TV series, then your search is over. Now you’ll have to teach your little one all the names of the crew featured on the romper. Good luck with that!
Some would say that the engineers onboard the Enterprise are the most important crew members on the ship. That might be a true statement, but I like to think that Jones is the most important and the most salty.
The Enterprise is the most famous starship next to probably… the Millennium Falcon. If you nerd out on the design aspects of the ship, then you can share that enthusiasm with your little one by dressing them in this romper.
A favorite weapon of Klingons, the Bat’leth was introduced during The Next Generation. This one illustrated on the romper has been modified to make sure no one gets hurt.
Captain Jean Luc Picard is among one of the most known leaders in television and film. He’s also lovable by fans everywhere. The same could be said for Kermit the Frog. Both are natural leaders and lovable characters.
There are some seriously devoted Klingon fans out there. They spend hundreds of dollars on their cosplay and attend all the sci-fi conventions. This romper is for that family, especially if there’s a dad who dresses up like Worf every Halloween.
Don’t worry moms we got you covered. Dads and moms can both love Star Trek equally. There’s no gender bias in this sci-fi show. Now moms can proudly display their geeky love of this science fiction masterpiece on the infant.
A baby outfit isn’t complete without some little booties to go with it. These are handmade based on your little one’s foot size. You can even request different characters. Check it out!
This set is the perfect gift for a nerdy Trekkie family. It comes with a bib, burp cloth, and a pacifier clip. How awesome is that? Make sure you select Star Trek under Fandom and the color from the product page.
