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[...]

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.

Lots of folks were selling lots of comic books at Thought Bubble (got back barely an hour ago) – but some will have been able to pay for their whole trip with one or two canny purchases. The Wytches #2 variant cover exclusive to Thought Bubble has sold for $125 on eBay (with most copies going[...]
