Christina Weir is a writer of comic books and television. She writes with her husband, Nunzio DeFilippis, whom she met while they were both students at Vassar College.
The two have written for two seasons on HBO's Arli$$, and have sold story ideas to the Disney Channel's Kim Possible.
In comics, they have written several graphic novels and miniseries for independent publisher Oni Press, including Skinwalker, Three Strikes, Maria's Wedding, The Tomb, Once in a Blue Moon and Past Lies. Their work at Oni led to work at Marvel Comics, launching the second version of the teen mutant book New Mutants. This book was renamed New X-Men: Academy X. Their run on these books spanned 3 years and created almost 2 dozen new super-powered mutant characters for Marvel's X-Men franchise, including Surge, Hellion, Wind Dancer, Prodigy, Wallflower, Elixir, Tag, Rockslide, Mercury, Anole, Indra, Kidogo, Loa, Network, Specter, Dryad, Quill, Match, Trance, D.J., Pixie, Preview, and Wither. They have also written for DC Comics, with stories appearing in Checkmate, Wonder Woman, Adventures of Superman and a recent Secret Files. The duo also work in the expanding field of Japanese manga, providing English adaptations for the Del Rey titles Guru-Guru Pon-Chan, Sugar Sugar Rune and Kagetora.
