Career.
Leth lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and attended NSCAD University, studying photography. She dropped out before achieving her degree.
She worked at the Strange Adventures comic shop in Halifax, where she developed an interest in comics, and created promotional art for the shop. In 2010, she created her webcomic "Kate or Die" for their blog. "Kate or Die" eventually became a bi-weekly column on Comics Alliance. She cited fellow Nova Scotia writer Kate Beaton as an influence, "...this person who was putting all this stuff out there, and no real formal art school training, but was doing really well with her work." Leth also contributed to the webcomics "Locke & Key", and "Luther Strode".
Leth's "Adventure Time" fan art on their Tumblr page attracted the attention of BOOM! Studios, publishers of the comic based on the television show. She was hired to do covers, a short story, and a graphic novel, "Adventure Time: Seeing Red", which entered "The New York Times" Best Seller list.
Leth organized The Valkyries, a group of women who work in comics retail, which was disbanded in 2018, due to accusations that the group failed to adequately represent the concerns of women of color due to Leth's deliberate mismanagement.
In 2015, Leth modeled for the We Love Fine Spider-Gwen fashion line, wrote another comic for Boom!, "Power Up", and wrote six issues of "Vampirella" for Dynamite Entertainment.
Leth was co-host for "Less Than Live with Kate or Die", a bi-weekly comics podcast which last aired in 2016. Leth collaborated with the podcast "Welcome to Night Vale" and wrote stories for the "Lumberjanes" comic for Boom!. For Marvel she wrote "Secret Wars, Too" a comedic anthology, and "Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!", for 17 issues.
In 2018, she wrote episodes of the television shows ', ', "", "Craig of the Creek" and the fourth season of "Bravest Warriors". In 2020, Leth announced she had signed a deal with Simon and Schuster to produce a graphic novel for release in 2022.
In 2018, "Lumberjanes", the comic to which Leth contributed along with 5 other creators, was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award.
