§ ICv2 is looking at the growth of kids comics with charts and graphs and everything. In my own, unfinished, con report, I mention this quite a bit – you literally walk for miles from panel room to exhibit hall. Because of all these reservations I didn’t think C2E2 was going to be awesome, but dear readers? It was awesome.įiga had a hard time finding signage at C2E2, but part of the problem is that McCormick Place is built on a scale for Fomorians or maybe Paul Bunyan. (I bet you have a strong idea of what kind of teen I was after reading that sentence!) Cons are also an exhausting experience for us introverts, which I am sure will surprise no one now that we’ve all taken ten thousand buzzfeed quizzes about our Myers-Briggs types. Massive crowds are not my favorite thing, and I remember walking and walking and being in lines and walking more from the anime conventions I attended in high school. It’s been several years since I went to a convention as big as C2E2, and I have to admit: I was a bit nervous. But she also has some solid suggestions for access and programming. § Alenka Figa from Women Write About Comics went to C2E2 and mostly had a great time. Being the comics fan I am, and with rain and drizzle threatening all day, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and seek refuge from the weather within the small con whilst getting a brief glimpse into the local comics scene. I was in Canada’s smallest province this week for non Graphic Policy related reasons, when I found out that there was a small, single evening convention with a handful of local creators held at the Confederation library. § Much better than the Fyre Festival, even tiny Prince Edward Island has a comic con, and here’s a little con report: Marvel is a Pakistani-American teen-age girl from Jersey City named Kamala Khan. In Wilson’s version of the comic, launched in 2014, Ms. Marvel, a hero first conceived, in 1968, as a white woman named Carol Danvers. Wilson is the latest writer to take on Ms. At the end of the day, she logged on to the social network to find her mentions flooded with links to an interview with David Gabriel, a senior vice-president at Marvel Entertainment, on the Web site ICv2. Willow Wilson was at home, in Seattle, on a self-imposed Twitter break she was one chapter away from finishing her second novel, a historical fantasy about a young girl on a quest to find a mythical king of birds in Andalusia. § G Willow Wilson was profiled in The New Yorker, which is the highest honor you can get in print, I guess. It worked.Ĭonsortium is an improvement: less work for me, more access to stores, promo, libraries and reviewers. If a retailer stopped by my table at a con, I took their card, and emailed them ebooks and the coupon code. Ha ha, wanna know what I did to grow retail distro out of nothing?Ī coupon code in my online store. My distro has exclusivity I won't be wholesaling direct anymore. Took too long, but finally got around to emailing the 40-odd shops that I set up my original self-started distro ring with about Consortium. HEY, RETAILERS: Interested in carrying our titles? They're available through Consortium Book Sales and Distribution! Trotman wrote a little about it in a series of tweets as one of the original “I’ll sell these books out of my living” room comics evangelists, it’s an interesting transition. § Iron Circus Comics, the company run by Spike Trotman, is now distributed by Consortium, which also distributes Uncivilized, Koyama Press, Secret Acres and many other cool kids. Catch it while it’s cute! Stevenson also posted this piece to Tumblr about being part of a cartooning couple. § Noelle Stevenson just got an adorable kitten and is tweeting the HECK out of it. – her name is toast – she is so brave – she is not afraid of dogs – she can sit on a shoulder – she is learning to pounce /X37UrTx3PG Seriously, WTAF? I fancy myself as a bit of a “creative” and I DO NOT SEE UNICORNS. § This “perky, self helpy” illustrated thing from Brightside called 10 Illustrations Showing How Creative People See the World was also in heavy rotation, and heavy mockery because according to this, when you’re creative you become a hallucinatory racist who sits in a teepee and sees unicorns everywhere.
