Thought I'd share some of the highlights of my trip to the Madison comic con this past weekend: [link]

Very cool, Sail!

Hey, you obviously don't have to answer, but - in those photos you look a lot like my grandmother whose maiden name was Romeo - do you have Italian ancestors?

Not that I'm aware of. It's all northern Europe (England, France, Scotland) and Ukraine.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Scribd is adding a ton of comics for $9/month: [link] I'm curious to see how this works out.

Which reminds me I'm way behind on Sex Criminals and Lumberjanes. Dang.

I saw the trade for Rat Queens the other day and totally wanted it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Lumberjanes was/is my favorite comic of 2014. It is exceptional. I didn't expect BoomBox to come out with something so intelligent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I got the first TPB of Rat Queens for Christmas. I enjoyed it a lot, though some of the violence was a little more than I cared for.

I've never seen a single issue send shockwaves through the comics industry the way that Lumberjanes #1 did since, like, TMNT #1.

Tom - how so? I remember the critical reaction being pretty positive, but nothing earth-shaking.
