From the Guardian.uk:
The famously subversive US cartoonist Robert Crumb has announced the completion of his long-awaited take on the Book of Genesis.
The acclaimed satirist revealed on his personal website that he had finished the project, which is out this autumn, and which his UK publisher is predicting will “provoke the religious right”. Four years in [...]
This past weekend I got to go to the first ever New England Webcomics Weekend. I packed a change of clothes and Adriano in a rental car on Friday morning and drive up to Northampton, Mass:
The main attraction of NEWW was, of course, the creators themselves, and many were in attendance, signing books and sketching [...]
A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Publishers Weekly about Tor.com’s comics content. The piece featuring the interview has now gone live—just in time for Comic Con! If I remember correctly, I think I may have been misquoted at the end where I talk about “…the creative-commons inspired Cory Doctorow-ish kind of ethos,” but [...]
One of my goals for this year is to not let The Sleekness lie fallow, and one of the ways I’ll be achieving that is by stealing from myself: I’ll be doing a lot of cross-posting from my blogging (such as it is) on Tor.com. To wit:
New York Comic Con (Feb. 6-8) has published its [...]
Salon.com’s got a nice post-game on the Publishocalypse that went down earlier this month in Jason Boog’s “Read it and weep.”
Who will survive publishing’s Ice Age? Undoubtedly, the companies that can command developments in the impending digital book revolution.
Well thanks, Captain Obvious. The word “book” in the phrase “digital book revolution” is unnecessary—the so-called digital [...]
My close reading of Watching the Watchmen is up on Tor.com, for those interested. I really enjoyed this book, especially considering that I was very skeptical as to its value, in light of the excellent Absolute edition of this seminal work. Go, take a look-see.
Over on Tor.com: Soon I Will Be Invincible
And on The New Sleekness: More hand-waving.
Comic Con is now over. It was fun, and hectic, and full of work, and some booze, and lots of cool, cool people. One of the highlights for me, as with Comic Con New York, was to meet so many awesome people who I either know only through IM or Twitter, or who I don’t [...]
The not-so-super-seekrit project that’s been sucking down so much of everyone’s time over at Tor Books finally goes live today. Tor.com is a new science-fiction and fantasy themed community site, where a whole lot of luminaries from the SF/F fandom community will be contributing content about ‘Science Fiction. Fantasy. The Universe. And Related Subjects.’, as [...]
Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.
I can’t wait to see this. The fruits of extra-curricular (as in, not within the studio system) efforts from Joss Whedon during the writer’s strike, Dr. Horrible promises to be the beginning of a slew of independent productions from established old-media talent, taking their toys and playing elsewhere, [...]
