Any Winnipeggers/Winnipeg adjacent folks in the house that are planning to be at Winnipeg Comic Con this year?

Went to @backissuescomicon.bsky.social (I mean, I gotta since it’s my show) and it was great. Lots of people, happy vendors, cool crowd, special guests that I am so appreciative of. I saw some people buying some sweet books. I was busy but managed to pick these up.

That’s a heck of a nice cover. You really wrote some of the best Strange runs ever and that’s not my natural bias here.

Cleaned this book up and gave it a press. It’s not drastic, but it does look much better now.

I would support purchases in any state that is actively resisting in an aggressive manner and reconsider travel to the US In those states only…for what it’s worth.

Republicans and Donald Trump were counting on California to cave in response to their election rigging attempts in Texas.

But they've got another thing coming. We're fighting back.

The 2025 edition of Montreal Comiccon started one week ago. I’ve had time to reflect on it. The trip was an adventure. Things were not entirely smooth, but I think we did something special there.
The show broke an attendance record, attendees, exhibitors & guests all had very nice things to say.

Hey #PortfolioDay!

This comics editor is on the hunt to give someone IMMEDIATE work.

Are you a comics artist who's style leans towards mainstream superhero with a manga edge?

Show me what you've got!

Was able to grab some signatures for a bunch of books this weekend. Also, it may have been as the show was closing and people were packing up, but I also managed to buy some comics.
