The Big Comic Comfy Couch – Episode 9: The Pro-Diggle edition + Daredevil Reborn
My…it’s certainly been a while, hasn’t it? For my first column back I thought I’d talk about something near and dear to my heart when it comes to comic books: Daredevil. The final issue of Daredevil Reborn dropped last week,…

WHOSOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER: My road to Amazing Fantasy 15, Chapter The First: Big B Comics
Remember that goof who traded a red paperclip for a ramshackle house in Saskatchewan and internet fame? I do. And I think that I can do him one better. Anyone can get a house, but what if I tried to…

Diary of a Comic Book Goddess :: TCAF Journal, Day 2
I’m happy to report that day two was a little less insane than the first, though, in the afternoon, it was still pretty packed. I managed to pick up a couple of books, get a commission, and chat with a…
WHOSOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER: Boston Comicon Recap
What a weekend. It was a long drive from Hamilton to Boston (that culminated in some sort of flatulence war, not involving me I might add) but well worth the trip. The Boston Comicon was a great little show. Fantastic…

Jiminy Christmas! | Adam Hughes Sketch Fiasco
Adam Hughes was at Boston Comicon this past weekend. I arrived at his table around 10:05 AM on the first day to find his sketch list well over ten names, which I knew meant he wouldn’t get to me even…
