Quince is a lot of fun. The basic premise of this is that when Lupe turns 15, she gets super hero powers, but just for her 15th year. When she turns 16 all the super powers go away and she returns to her mundane life. [...]

Deadpool arrested in Australia
Deadpool arrested in Australia
Sometimes cosplayers get no luck, and apparently if you ride public transportation in Emu Plains to CBD morning express then you might just scare a pile of proles and have to talk to the police. At least it sounds likes the police might have had a sense of humor, but personally I would have recognized Deadpool a [...]

Comics Forge Presents get yourself published with us
Back in 2012 we really wanted to start publishing comic books as well, and we had worked out a licensing agreement with Justin Zimmerman of the Killing Jar over at Bricker Down, and worked with Zelda Wang over on Manga Magazine to see about bringing some of their stories to life via printin [...]

Twisted Tales, Phil Foglio VS Tor Publishing
A friend of mine pointed me over to Phil Foglio’s site for Girl Genius about problems he is having getting hold of anyone at TOR about the Girl Genius Omnibus that is basically going nowhere, and another friend of mine pointed me to the rebuttal article of Nielsen Hayden over at TOR books goi [...]
Big Dog Ink Announces New Mini-Series...
Over the past few years Big Dog Ink has gone from being newbie comic company to a force to be reckoned with. Their series’, including my favorite Ursa Minor, become more popular by the day because they take an approach to comics that many companies have long since forgotten: quality fun. These are in your face stories that will not onl [...]

4. Lines In The Sand
Let me tell you a story about one that didn’t go so right.
One of Five.
My second major film. My MFA thesis. The result of years of work and a lifetime of experiences. My first project in the realm of video…the Sony PD150, to be exact. Cut on Final Cut Pro 2 (and color-corre [...]

Comixology Submit – Opening the door to Independent Comics
I didn’t think this would ever happen, but just hitting the wires is the idea that Comixology is going to start a new program called “Submit” that is going to open the doors to independent comic book authors and creators to sell their stuff on the popular and profitable Comixology Pl [...]

Kelly Sue DeConnick on the State of Comic Books
In case the name does not ring a bell for you, or you are pretty messed up thinking that girls don’t belong in comics, she is one of the writers for Ghost, Captain Marvel and Avengers Assemble. She is over on Reddit doing an AMA, and it is probably the most int [...]

Loved to Death – Manga is in trouble in the USA
Dang it I even love Manga, and will miss its eventual demise, because truly this is one medium that has been loved to death. It was loved so much that people couldn’t wait for it to hit the book stores, and while Piracy is not the only real reason that Mang [...]

Are Comic Book Sales starting to recover?
We can only hope, but here is what makes the data interesting this year for 2012 and the actual numbers start getting published and we all start making something out of the numbers that we see.
Of course we have to use the numbers from Comichron as our de [...]

There is always a lot of confusion around Graphicly at times, we are not sure if they are dying, if they are staying, or what they seem to be doing nine times out of ten. But in a nice press release this morning Graphicly is saying that they are going from strength to strength. But it seems that their focus on publishing [...]
Go Look: Tom Spurgeon Collected Jack ...
How does he have time to even do this? How does he make a living? Does he have a trust fund or run a comics shop? Hydroponic drug dealer? Even if you were paying me a really good wage I don’t think I could work this hard.
He does three really impressive links. First up he posts about 20 or more pieces of Jack Kirby’s art, in order [...]
Fan Expo 2012 – 5 (Of the Many)...
Admittedly, this was my first con/expo…ever. In Canada there aren’t too many and the high majority are way too far for me to travel to. Well, that and I don’t do big crowds. This year though, I made it a point to ensure I got to one and this past weekend, I did. It was 4 days of extreme emotional and physical highs and lows [...]
Star Wars Detours a remix worth enjoy...
A new series is taking the internet by storm, and it is called Star Wars Detours. I got to watch some of trailers on YouTube last night after it was released at a Star Wars fan con yesterday. Apparently according to news services this is a fully authorized parody comedy simply brilliant remix of star wars that Lucas is approving. First of all [...]

Didn’t really know a lot about this property other than Barry Windsor-Smith used to draw it. I guess I was pleasantly surprised by its liberal politics or at last: A comic geared for the Occupy Movement, which they might use to [...]
