Comic-Con Buzz

The Con is coming, have you chosen your costumed identity yet?

My "boss" went as Wonder Woman last year and was quite the hit. We could hardly take two steps without a veritable red carpet papparazzi photo shoot taking place. If you plan to go in character (and you are believable), you will find it difficult to tour the con without a secret identity.

You will also have to contend with the "who wore it best?" phenomenon and you certainly don't want to be the loser in that one. There are also some "shady" photog types that may follow the young ladies and you may find photos of yourself in some unexpected places. However, most people are very polite and ask nicely and not take too much of your time but with record attendance that could mean valuable minutes taken from you chance to tour the Con. See you there....

Young Liars - Issue 1

Story & Art by: David Lapham | $2.99 USD, $3.65 CAN| vertigocomics.com

First off, the colors are brilliant!! It's a very 80s feel, but in a new way (does that make sense?). Anyway, this comic is not for the young ones as it deals with "adult" content such as recreational drug use, prostitution and of course, a bullet logged into our protagonists' head therefore making her unstable and quite violent. I love how its storyboarded...very much like "watching" a movie. We find out in this issue that Sadie does in fact die at some point but we're on the journey to discover when and where, much like How I Met Your Mother (love that show!).
