Aaron Costain, creator of the self-published Entropy series and Calamity Coach one-shot, has written a great essay examining the way architectural drawings and comics are read. Interesting stuff.
Aaron makes great comics, I always look forward to the next installment of Entropy. His comics can be found at finer comic shops including: Legends Comics and Books (BC); Strange Adventures (NS, NB); The Beguiling (ON); The Dragon (ON); Librairie Drawn + Quarterly (QC).
Even though he missed the deadline to register his candidacy, National Post cartoonist Steve Murray (aka comic book creator Chip Zdarsky) is running for the office of Mayor in the city of Toronto.
He’s got a pretty extensive website up and everything, which you know, all great candidates need to have. Did I mention Facebook? Tweets?
Well, he’s got my vote!
The Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo has announced the dates for next year: June 17-19, 2011 in Halls A, B, & C of the BMO Round Up Centre @ Stampede Park in Calgary, Alberta.
This will be the first year the event will be a full three day convention.
Are you interested in helping the organizers of the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo plan their 2011 event? They have a short survey on the front page of their website asking you to check off the genre shows and movies that interest you. This will assist them in deciding on who to invite and programming.
First, we’d like to welcome a new member to the Executive, Andrew Walsh. Andrew is filling the role of Webcomics Award Coordinator. Some of you may have met Andrew at the webcomics panel he moderated in June at the Toronto ComiCON Fan Appreciation Event.
Secondly, you’ll notice on the right that Jason has compiled a list of comics published & distributed in 2010 (in English) by Canadian creators (to date). This list will be updated each week as new information arrives and new books are released. This will enable our nominating committee to start looking at the 2010 releases NOW and review the books as they come in each week, which will speed up the nomination process in January so that we can have the nominees list out in February and give us more time to get the books required to our Juries in order to make their decisions.
Bleeding Cool contributor Mike McLarty has posted some three pages of The Underwater Welder, Lemire’s graphic novel for Top Shelf, hopefully coming to stores in 2012.
Yes, it says 2011 on the image, but it's slated for 2012.
