This is the time of year when the ComicMix crew starts to firm up our attendance at various comic conventions in the year ahead. It’s a frustrating process because there are a lot of shows and we can’t go to all the ones we’d like to attend.
It also makes me really angry.
Last year was the first in a long time that I went to a bunch of cons. It was fascinating and fun most of the time, but annoying at others. Twenty years after we started Friends of Lulu, there are still remarkably few women invited to be guests at the shows.
This is odd, because there are a lot of women working in the industry, and (capitalists take note) even more buying comics and tickets to cons. Wouldn’t show organizers like to demonstrate to this market segment that they are welcome and valued?...

Cursed Pirate Girl will be released as a trade paperback after a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign. Creator Jeremy Bastian raised an unprecedented $$36,000 (£22,400) through the website in order to see his work collected. Bastian told Newsarama that he was unaware of Kickstarter before his publisher Thomas Negovan recommended it.
