INFO: Baltimore Comic-Con *UPDATE*

UPDATE: Turns out I'll be heading down for this after all, albeit only for Saturday, so the end of this post still applies. I doubt I'll hit any of the panels, except for the DC Comics: A Look Ahead at 12pm, but I'll definitely be wandering the floor, looking for interesting comics and passing out business cards. Hope to put some faces to blogs, too. That's a vague approximation of what I look like there on the left, for anyone that wants to play Where's Waldo Guy. Just don't sneak up on me, especially if I've bashed your work. I'll…

CBC Quickees: 9/8/05

No Buzzscope reviews this week as my both of my kids started school last week and I started today (online), so free time has been scarce. The past two weeks' lessened output have been an unexpected but refreshing break as every now and then it's nice to simply read comics for the pleasure. On that note...The Adventures of BioBoy #1: Irreverant fun, beautifully illustrated by NYC Mech's Andy MacDonald. Creator/Writer Sal Cipriano's got an intriguing concept here, with bonus points for two "complete" stories in this issue, but the next issue or two needs to flesh it all out a…

First Day of School, Part I

You expect there to be some tears on a day like this, your kid's first day of school. Today, it was India's, and while I didn't expect her to have too much of a problem with it - especially since we took her in, hung out for a bit, and picked her up - I figured Salomé might get a little emotional. I certainly wasn't expecting Isaac to be the one to lose it, though! India's been his partner in crime since she was born, from the initial weeks at home with Salomé in Virginia; to the first couple of…

Mateo Cor Marak Tiefling Rogue/Lvl 3 Male, 21yo, Chaotic Neutral Born into slavery in Innarlith (Lake of Steam) to the human concubine of a once-powerful wizard, Mateo was abducted by the local enclave of Red Wizards when the truth of his fiendish bloodline became known - Rakshasa, given away by his catlike eyes and pointed teeth. Raised from infancy along with three other Tieflings of varied bloodlines, he was constantly reminded of the taint of evil his ancestry marked him with, but held to the belief that his ultimate destiny was his own to determine. Rigorously trained in the arts…

Blogaround Challenge Met!

Via Bloggity-Blog-Blog-Blog: Here's what you gotta do. Go to the Comics Weblog Update-A-Tron 3000 and click through to at least ten comic book blogs. You can do more, but ten is the minimum. I would also stick with blogs that have been updated within the last couple of weeks, but that's not a hard and fast rule. As another loose rule, go for blogs you haven't visited before, if you can. The goal of this challenge is to meet new bloggers and see new stuff. Visit each blog. Look at it. Form an impression about it. Then write a short…
