When I went to Philly Comic Con, I had been warned it was a little scary and low-brow. It was. But it had some other qualities worth looking into and some potential for future coolness. Check out my chronicle here: http://welcometotripcity.com/2012/06/wizard-world-philadelphia-comic-con/

My third installment studying the role of magic in Alan Moore's works continues over at Sequart. This one is the first part of a Swamp Thing discussion that will conclude in #4. http://www.sequart.org/magazine/12273/meet-the-magus-part-3-the-deep-green-jack-of-the-green-and-the-swamp-thing/
I am by no means a connoisseur of indie comix, much less web comix. In fact, I’m just starting out on that road of self-education in the famously off-beat or obscurely personal world that contains much more variety than non comix readers would ever know. I mean, it’s like saying that everyone from a given […]
It must have been a particularly mystical experience to open the large tome of a medieval miscellany for scribes in the middle ages. If they had never opened it yet, they might have little idea of exactly what they would find inside, but they would almost certainly be hoping for the fantastic as well […]

I have a magazine fetish. It’s not too much of a problem most of the time since I simply don’t allow myself to buy them. I’ve been this way since I was a kid and yes, it may have something to do with comics. I’m not entirely sure where those two demons met and […]
So what’s the big deal about The Five Dimensional Adventures of Dirk Davies? Why should it attract so much attention beyond the quirkiness value of a comic that’s not only digitally produced by Dean Haspiel and Ben McCool, but inspired, like the rest of the Shiftylook comics fleet, by video games from the 80’s?
