Wired Interviews the Action Flick Chick: ‘Action Chick’ Looks at Comic-Con’s Geek Girls

Hugh Hart of Wired.com interviews Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill about Wired’s choices for the “26 Most Awesome Female Ass-Kickers.”

From Wired:

Fierce female characters are gaining traction in the pop-culture landscape, but even in 2010, guys still outnumber women in starring roles for movies, TV, comics and videogames. Several Comic-Con International panels this weekend look at the phenomena of the geek girl.

Among the panels is Where Are the Action Chicks? (Friday, 2 p.m. Room 26AB). Blogger Katrina Hill from Action Chick Flick moderates the panel. She’s a Texas über-fan who champions an upbeat take on the growing presence of female characters and creators.

“Without a doubt there are more action-chick movie roles today than there were 20 years ago,” she says. “And its not just about film. TV shows, comic books, videogames — all these storytelling media are expanding to make way for action chicks.”

In an e-mail interview with Wired.com, Hill dissects the “female power landscape” with her breakdown of sci-fi’s most compelling female characters past, present and future. (continued at Wired…)
