This brand new little paperback from Conundrum Press has brightened my week. I was getting mopey thinking about how I won’t get to travel anywhere this summer, except to and from work. I’ve spent the past few years touring a lot with my band, but now I’m a real working lady, and I’m getting antsy [...]

My boss at Strange Adventures suggested I read Deadline, this four issue mini-series from 2002, which was in with a huge collection someone sold to the store. I was wary of the cheesy cover by Greg Horn (who is only slightly more tolerable than that other Greg), but once I dove in, I found an [...]

OOooooo, what a great looking book! I’m going to try to make this cover the new mental image in my head when I hear the words "Image Comics." Usually I picture something like Haunt, and then I picture a plate of pasta primavera thrown at a wall. ‘Cause that’s what it looks like. This lovely book [...]

Hooray! This American Drive is here! Halifax comic book superstar and Living Between Wednesday BFF Mike Holmes made a book, and I finally have it in my greedy little Gollum hands. I’ve been super stoked about this awesomely illustrated and brilliantly designed book, so I’m now cradling it in my arms and whispering "my precioussss." You know, treating [...]

For us Haligonians (yup, that’s what people from Halifax are called), it’s almost time for the Atlantic Film Festival! Since we don’t always get the smaller, weirder films that play in bigger cities, we all get super stoked for the AFF. I was lucky enough to be on the programming committee again this year, so [...]

A cool indie comics publisher called Conudrum Press has recently moved to near-by Wolfville, Nova Scotia. With our pals, Invisisible Publishing putting out Mike Holmes’s book, Darwyn Cooke and Steven McNiven living here, and all the wicked shit Strange Adventures does, Halifax is becoming the Portland, Oregon of Canada. Now all we need is a [...]

Strange Adventures just got in an order from the awesome Microcosm Publishing, and I was super stoked because the newest Snakepit comic was in there. I’ve loved this diary style, punk-infused comic since I read the collection, My Life in the Jugular Vein, when I was on tour with my band last fall. Snakepit is simple concept: [...]

I wish I could stop watching this for one second: But I can’t. It’s hilarious. Thanks to Ben for showing it to me.

Hello all. I just want to inform you that my pal Johnathan Munroe is joining me in celebrating MARTIAN MANHUNTER WEEK over at his excellent and hilarious comic blog Paul and John Review. He starts with a post about the first Martian Manhunter appearance (not the one with Batman…that one was weird). Do check it [...]

Hey y’all. There’s a new blog for you to check out. This one is written by my pal/bandmate/comic shop co-worker, Tiina Johns. It’s over at the Shameless Magazine site (a Canadian feminist blog/magazine) and it’s called Comics Are For Everybody. It aims to introduce people to comic books who may otherwise be intimidated or feel [...]
