Hey folks. Just wanted to let you know that it’s been confirmed we’ll be at Melbourne Supanova. We’ll be sharing a booth with Guardian Comics Paul Spencer who does the great Ticket To Ride webcomic about a group of guys who run a superhero themed adventure park.  We should have books 1 & 2 as well as issue one of the current arc which due to it’s mammoth size we’ll be breaking into shorter comic book style publications.

I also plan on heading up to both Brisbane and Sydney’s Supanova this year (for the very least to meet Joe Kubert!) but i’ll give you more details as we get closer.

Trev says: Hey folks, this weeks comic left me with a bit of a conundrum. at 10 panels with was pretty dense, but cutting it in half would mean you’d have to wait a full week for one page’s worth of payoff.

With that in mind, I split the page in two at the last minute* and this week there’ll be two updates. Check back Wednesday the 8th for part two of this page or follow us on twitter and i’ll remind you all!

*so last minute i haven’t told Jen yet, sorry for breaking your page Jen.

It’s mid August which means Jen is halfway through her epic challenge to read a graphic novel a day and review it on the wonderful Inside A Dog website, run by the The Centre for Youth Literature, State Library Victoria.

It’s a website that promotes reading and this month Jen’s resident reviewer. She started out the month reading Bone so she already had me and then has followed it up with books like The Middle Man, the Arrival and even the ever so popular Scott Pilgrim (lord I found that film an hour too long but that’s another story).

I’m hoping you head over there and give Jen lots of love. Comment, agree OR disagree or just find something you’ve never heard of before.

Comics rule and I just want you to get involved.

Jen says:

For August I’m the resident blogger at the State Library of Victoria’s Young Adult Lit site, Inside a Dog, to read and review YA-appropriate comics and graphic novels. I’m hoping to reach well beyond my own meager understanding of this field by taking advice from folks who know better than me.  So, tell me what I don’t know – what great graphic novels either for or about young adults (13-18 year olds) should I be writing about?  Leave a comment here, or email me on jenbreach (at) gmail (dot) com.  The longer your list of recommendations, the happier you’ll make me!     Thanks!
