El MacFearsome Comic Squares: News and Products

Well, our mini-season of appearances is coming to a close so it's time to give some highlights...starting with the New Orleans Alternative Media Expo. The event is held annually by Antigravity Magazine and showcases a wide array of comics, movies, music, fashion and more. This was my 3rd or 4th time exhibiting here and each year is pretty successful. And while we didn't make quite as much as last year, we still sold quite a lot of books and saw a lot of familiar faces and made new friends as well, most notably Chi Tran and Kody Chamberlain.
   Chi is an old friend of mine who I haven't seen since high school. It was great to see him and catch up on the last 15 years, he also took the photo below of Karen and I at our table. And if you'll notice behind us is a giant iRead banner, this was the first time we used that banner at an appearance. I'm really happy with the way it turned out and so were many attendees.
   Kody Chamberlain as a somewhat local artist (he lives about 2 hours outside of New Orleans) who has done such comics as PUNKS, 30 Days Of Night:Bloodsucker Tales, and assisted in the art of Tales Of The Black Freighter DVD for the Watchmen movie. He's a great guy, bought one our Dexter Breakfast graphic novels and traded one of his comics for one of our comics: the first issue of a mini series we're doing called Return Of The Lovin' Dead.
   So overall, it was a great time. We weren't able to do the after party because the next day we were off to Las Vegas for our overdue honeymoon.
