I’ve talked before about how one of my favorite aspects of going to comic conventions is the chance to discover new artists/writers. Not only do I just walk around the floors of the convention center, but I also spend a great deal of time looking through the list of names [...]

Way back when, before Scott McCloud wrote his seminal work Understanding Comics he created his own superhero called Zot. Zot is rather unique in the comics world, in part because Zot is a teenage superhero, but mostly because of the critical issues that Scott explored between Zot’s world (a [...]
