This week sees the kick-off of this year's Boston Comic Con.

By Shawn Perry Get Stoked, True Bleeders! It's time for another edition of Indie Spotlight – the sometimes weekly column dedicated to the wonderful world of self-publishing.  There are so many great stories out there and sometimes the best ones come from people who said "screw it I'm doing this" and made comics outside of […]

By Shawn Perry This past weekend at Boston Comic-Con I met Liz Plourde and Randy Michaels who form the creative duo behind the Xeric Award winning comic How I Made the World. Among other things we discussed the Xeric Foundation, puns and how they made How I Made the World. Plourde and Michaels are two […]

By Shawn Perry Last weekend Boston Comic-Con blew the roof off the Seaport World Trade Center and my heart.  On one of the most beautiful weekends of the year thousands of descended on the overmatched venue and the city Fire Marshals had nary a moment's rest but it was awesome… It was the most fun […]

At the Boston Comic Con, Dan DiDio led the DC Comics panel, a little smaller in size than San Diego a couple of weeks ago. And Scott Snyder, Tony Daniel, Brian Azzarello, and Aaron Lopresti seemed a little less pressured by PR reps. Especially Azzarello who appeared to want to be anywhere else. Scott Snyder […]
