This has been a pretty awesome spring for me so far, comic heroes-wise.  Beginning of May I met Paul Pope, Cameron Stewart, J. Rowland and R. Stevens at the excellent Toronto Comic Arts Festival, which I have since found out is not necessarily an annual event, which makes it even more awesome and special.  On Monday I went to the Neil Gaiman ( Read more... )

 I have just had one of the worst, most frustrating afternoons of my life, made all the worse by the fact that it was pretty much entirely my fault ( Read more... )

 Two people in as many days have approached me on the bus, getting my attention with meaningful looks and contortions of their heads, to ask me about the book I'm reading.  It's a Hunter S.
