The Life and Times of Brian Garside
This past weekend was the Toronto ComiCON Fan Appreciation show on Saturday and Sunday at the Metro Convention Centre, Pete and I were there with All New Comics and four tables of our stuff. It was also a chance for Kaylin, Char, and I to have a little mini-vacation in downtown Toronto.
Friday night I [...]
Printed comic books have existed for most of the 20th century, and in one form or another probably since the invention of the printing press. There is anecdotal evidence of comic book like art forms throughout the ages, with even Egyptian hieroglyphics being distant cousins of the modern comic.
So it may be presumptuous of me [...]
Unfortunately I live in the 3rd world (Canada), and we’re not permitted to see the MTV.com exclusive trailer for the upcoming Edward Norton Incredible Hulk flick. However with that said, there are still pictures on websites out there, including the one that I am referencing here which show grabs from the trailer. So far [...]
I’m working on a ton of cool stuff at work (as always) including a totally revamped search engine, a new version of our Vendor site, and a new sales process, but at home I’m working on a couple of web projects as well.
One of them you’re reading right now, Radical Hive is progressing, although not [...]
All New Comics has been up and down more often than a kid on a trampoline lately, and this week I finally had enough with some serious database troubles. After quite a few years with my server sitting in Florida, I’m finally moving it back to Canada where it belongs.
Awww yeah, here I go again. Continuing my Year End Top Five lists, we now have the Top 5 Comics of 2007, these are the comics I most enjoyed this year.
Okay, a few months back I wrote about deep dark secret #1. I hate sports. Tonight I’d like to post a little bit about the other paradox in my life. I love comics. I hate comic conventions. In my entire time of going to conventions, there have only been two [...]
CottageCon was this weekend up in Jackson's Point. We saw a lot of the regular convention crowd, a few new faces, I got another sketch for my sketchbook, and Kaylin got to see the butterflies, and meet her first celebrity. In all, a pretty good weekend.
On Thursday night I suggested to Char that [...]
Having been told by ComicsPRO (a comics industry alliance that helps retailers have common voice with publishers and distributors) that online retailers are not welcome in their organization, I was told to become a member of CBIA which is the Comic Book Industry Alliance, a message board for retailers to discuss issues about the industry.
I [...]
Has there ever been a better pure teaser trailer than this? Not that I can think of. It was the San Diego Comicon this weekend, and the announcements were fast and furious. Iron Man was revealed, Kevin Smith's next gig got announced, and there were plenty of comics related news.
Newsarama has a [...]
RadicalHive is the brainchild of Brian Garside, full time web guru and part time comics pimp. This is my space to talk about comics, technology, the web, and life in general.
