Larime Taylor Slams Comikaze And Other Shows For Lack Of Disability Awareness

Larime Taylor is the creator of the new Top Cow comic, A Voice In The Dark, that has been burning up the advance reorders.

I shouldn't need the incredibly awesome Bridget Silvestri to get a simple concession from a convention with Stan Lee's name attached to it.
