It's always the dumbest ideas thats dig their heels in and a concept based around superhuman farting has spurs, let me tell ye.

My first comics, I've struggled, enjoyed and learned so much while making them. All of that is coming to an end with the upcoming Thought Bubble Comics Festival next weekend. The Pride, my sort of first comic series (sort of because I also co-write on another called Stiffs which started at the same time), and one that[...]

By Olly MacNamee Boy, are we spoilt here in the Midlands when it comes to comic cons, as I have previously written about, but never have needed to preview

There may be one or two awful jokes that Kel is working hard to remove right at this very moment. Warren also talked about his new project with Tula Lotay, which may be more than just her way to get Warren to Thought Bubble this year. It's a very foresty, wildernessy kind of story[...]

I was particularly interested in attending the Electricomics panel at Thought Bubble this year, and extremely grateful that members of the Electricomics team even made time in their busy schedule to do some interviews with me (forthcoming on Bleeding Cool) When I arrived at the panel, our own Pop Culture Hound Chris Thompson was there,[...]

But there's a bigger question on Jason's lips to everyone, "why are you so fucking late?" The answer is that Thought Bubble is slammed with people… Anthony Johnston talked about how he was on the verge of his early career as being "pigeon holed as the horror guy", and so deliberately worked in other genres –[...]

Teen Titans relaunched as New Teen Titans with a new #1. Suicide Squad relaunched as New Suicide Squad with a new #1 Deathstroke relaunched as Deathstroke #1 with a new #1.

Thought Bubble probably isn't best known for its cosplay Which is a shame because there were some rather wonderful examples on display in Leeds today for the comics art festival The cutest of which had to go to Toddler Thor…. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1 .gallery-caption { margin-left:[...]
