I'd love to tell an epic tale of how we fixed the problems that were keeping us down, maybe one involving another dimension where blog posts are used as currency and an evil cabal employed super-advanced malware in order to control the flow of incredibly valuable nonsense from this site.

You may have noticed that Google Chrome (and possibly other browsers) has flagged this site as No Good and Trying To Do You Wrong. I’ve put a top nerd on it, and we’re also taking the opportunity to update some things that are sorely in need of it. As a consequence, I reckon that we’ll [...]

The incomparable KYLE BAKER will be speaking at the Halifax North Branch Library tomorrow afternoon! Baker, as you probably know, is an incredibly prolific writer and illustrator, who has won every comics-related award there is and worked for every publisher and company in the business. I just read (or in some cases re-read) a bunch of his stuff [...]

Last week, at Strange Adventures (the comic shop that keeps this blog knee-deep in Superman), we held our first ever Ladies’ Night. Thursday evening, after regular store hours ended, Ladies’ Night began. No dudes were allowed, and anyone who considers themselves a woman was welcomed in. It was only lady staff members working, and even [...]
