While Kallen and Jason played in Seattle, I got down to business here in the Rose City, sacrificing a WHOLE WEEKEND to the gods of Rose City Comicon.
Instead of going the normal con-review-route and talking about the panels by comic authors (holy crap is Matt Fraction funny, and Kelly Sue DeConnick is a force of nature and wow I love it when Greg Rucka can whip an entire ballroom into wanting to MAKE THE WORLD A JUST PLACE) or posting lots of pictures of cosplay, I’m going to give you a list of things I now WANT to read in the comics world (and you should too!)
- Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s “Sex Criminals” (comes out this Weds!)
- Christopher Sebelia and Ibrahim Moustafa’s “High Crimes”
- Greg Rucka and Matthew Southworth’s “Stumptown Volume 2”
- Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s “Lazarus” (which, if you’re not reading START NOW.)
- Matt Fraction and Mike Allread’s “FF”
- Erika Moen’s “DAR!” online at darcomic.com (caution, NSFW)
- Benjamin Dewey’s “Tragedy Series”
- Lucy Bellwood’s “Baggywrinkles” (I’m pretty sure she and I are the same person when it comes to boats.)
- Mattie E Watkins’ upcoming “Trunk” series (about a girl who is a genetic experiment in the 1920s and gets sold to the circus)
