Having spent the past four days in Baltimore attending my favorite comics convention – the one that’s actually about comics – I had the opportunity to spend some serious conversation time with a lot of my friends. However, because the show is a four-hour-plus drive from La Casa Del Oro, the best conversation is with…
As you read this, I’m riding the rails to <a href=” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rcSb8LgPQc Baltimore for the Baltimore Comic Con, one of the more pleasant shows of the year. I expect to have a weekend of discovering new comics, seeing old friends, and spreading the word about ComicMix Pro Services. However, as I write this, instead of…

So whatâs in Mindyâs head today? I havenât been to a convention in a long, long time, but reading about some of the ComicMix crewâs sojourn to Baltimore (here and here) lit up my temporal lobe â thatâs the part of the brain responsible for memory, for you non-biology majors out there. James Doohan (Chief…
Yeah, I know. The illustrious Mike Gold has already written at length as to why the Baltimore Comic-Con is an amazing experience. But Mike’s career in comics is older than I am. I had thought, for only a second, that maybe I should just move on and try another column to piss people off. But…
At the 2012 Baltimore Comic-Con, Basement Comics began offering for the first time a new-to-market, original owner 1920s-1950s science fiction pulp collection. “This collection is literally farm – or should I say, barn-stored fresh,” said Basement Comics’ Al Stoltz. “We recently purchased over five hundred pulps with lots of bed sheet size and regular pulp…
I like comic book conventions, although I’ve been pretty hard on them lately. These days most conventions have little to do with comic books. They have a lot to do with pop culture and celebrities and movies and autographs and promotion, but over the past decade or two comic books have become the ugly stepchildren…

[[[Daredevil]]] was the big winner of the night with four wins for Best Series, Best New Series, Best Inker and Best…

Emily will be back next week, no doubt because we’ll hire Deadpool to either find her or ghost her column. And Emily will be at the Baltimore Comic-Con September 8th and 9th, joining…
We want to remind you that voting for the Harvey Awards closes tonight at midnight, so get your votes in now if you haven’t already. Please remember that only comic book professionals – those who write, draw, ink, letter, color, design, and edit comic books and graphic novels – are eligible to vote. All you…
We’re very happy to announce that the Harvey Awards have upgraded their web site (with a little help from us) and is now able to take votes directly online instead of downloading a ballot and emailing (or even just mailing, shudder) it back. It is hoped that this will increase the voting turnout tremendously. The…
