​
New York, NY (June 19, 2019) – Valiant Entertainment is excited to announce that LIVEWIRE writer Vita Ayala will join the award-winning publisher at the 2019 American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference, to be held June 20-25 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre in Washington, DC. Attendees will be able to find Ayala and Valiant representatives at the Diamond Books area, booth #3833.
 
The ALA Annual Conference is an annual gathering of publishers, authors, exhibitors, librarians, teachers, bookstore owners, and more to showcase new titles, products, and services. It is not open to the general public. Valiant will have sample single issues available to give away, plus Ayala will be on hand at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22nd and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 23rd to sign copies of their title, LIVEWIRE.
 
Amanda McKee, a.k.a. Livewire, is a machine-controlling psiot (a human that has evolved, mind-based powers) trained by the Harbinger Foundation to be the next generation of leadership her people need. In her first solo comic book series, seeking to protect other vulnerable super-powered psiots like herself, Livewire plunged the United States into a nationwide blackout, causing untold devastation. With the whole world hunting her, what kind of hero will Livewire be…or will she be one at all? LIVEWIRE VOL. 1: FUGITIVE collects LIVEWIRE issues #1-4.
 

 
Vita Ayala will also take part in the following ALA panel on Friday, June 21st:
 
GNCRT Friday Discussion Forum – Social Justice and Comics
Art and Activism: The Rich History of Comics and Social Justice
