TCAF and the Supermoon
Well, they weren't lying when they said TCAF was one of the best comics shows in North America. We'll have a longer write-up and more pictures once we get some sleep but here's a photo or two to keep you going.

The weekend box office estimates are in and Avengers looks to have set a few records, the most significant being largest opening weekend.

by Mike Scigliano The first thing I do when I get to any comicon is grab a program guide to get the lay of the land, that is if I haven't already downloaded a copy of the floor plan to check it out beforehand. Floor plans are as unique as the comicon they serve, and it takes a lot of hard work and planning to get it to be just right.

Marvel has just released a teaser featurette for this week's Ultimate Spider-Man, which features Avengers-like action and...the Guardians of the Galaxy. Hm. Remember how there is a Guardians movie in development? And Kevin Feige said one of the next Marvel movies is further along than anyone thinks? Hmmmmmmmmm......

China Mieville is an odd writer. He's usually lumped into the science fiction/fantasy category, but he's really more of a cross-genre artist. A little science fiction element here, a bit of horror there, perhaps a dash of deadpan satire or maybe a little pulp detective. I've heard him described as a mainstay of "weird fiction." Any way you slice it, he's a prominent author and I highly recommend his novel "The City & The City," a detective/espionage novel with a bizarre psychological conceit that might not quite qualify for the SF/F category (where it's normally shelved) but seems a little out of place in mysteries. Whatever you want to call him, he's a prominent, bestselling writer and now he's doing comics.
