Only 8 days until San Diego Comic-Con
…and I’m not going. I can’t believe some of the names they’ve got going though. Angelina Jolie, Kate Beckinsale, Hugh Jackman, Hale Berry, Kevin Smith, the cast of Kill Bill, and every single big named comic creator ever.
We were going to go to Chicago in August, but [...]

How to Color Comics
This is a cool article on coloring comics, I particularly like the stuff on “Flattening” the artwork. Pretty neat.

Teen Titans!
This is so cool. The same team that brought us Batman, the Animated Series, The New Adventures of Superman, and The Justice League, now presents The Teen Titans, my all time favourite comic book series from when I was a kid.

It’s that time of the year again. Today marks the beginning of the 2001 Toronto International Comic Book Expo! at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Larry (he of The Second Story fame) and I will be going tomorrow morning around 11:00am. I really really REALLY want to be there by noon to see the [...]

The retroactively posted Comic of the Week for this week is: The Flash: Iron Heights. Truly amazing art, and a story that sets up a new status quo for the Flash Rogues Gallery, equals an awesome package. I even think it warranted the Prestige Format treatment that it got, and that’s a [...]
