Shawn Fumo is back from doing frivolous crap like juggling, and is talking about comic books again! He’s got some details and a rave review of the new collections of Miyazaki’s epic fantasy Nausicaa, and I’ll admit I’m intrigued.
David Fiore went to the TCJ.com messboard and lived to tell the tale. Also, more DKR blogging.
Tim O’Neil‘s indipsensible daily links roundup directs us to strong reviews of Craig Thompson’s Blankets (aka “the book you have to voice some big problems with in order to be taken seriously these days, for whatever reason”) and Mat Brinkman’s Teratoid Heights (aka “the best book from 2003 that you’ve never seen”–expect a review from yours truly sometime soon), both from online magazine The High Hat. Check them both out–these are two of the best comics I’ve had the good fortune to read since getting back on the funnybook bandwagon.
Steven Wintle touts the upcoming International Read a Comic Book Naked Day. That explains a lot about his blog in recent weeks.
Babar of Simply Comics reviews this year’s APE convention, which, like SPX, seems to have dwindled compared to previous years. Could MoCCA be drawing attendance away from APE, too, despite their being a full season and a full country apart?
Finally, holy crap. (Link courtesy of Graeme McMillan.)
