Comic book & graphic novel editor, writer, convention organizer (ECCE, Back Issues Comicon, Montreal Comiccon…), proud Canadian from Nova Scotia. You probably know me from Captain Canuck, True Patriot Presents or Sandstone Comics' Dark Coast.
We are just three weeks away from our fifth Back Issues Comicon event! We have four great guests and we are full up with terrific vendors. Can't wait to see you there!
So, since April of 2024 I have run an event twice a year in downtown Dartmouth that brings in a fair number of people that don’t go to downtown Dartmouth otherwise. It’s not their normal stomping grounds. Once, @downtowndartmouth.bsky.social shared our event just once. I have tagged them in… 1/2

Picked these up last weekend. The Daredevil from 1952 cleaned and pressed very well. Was pretty sure I needed 1 or 2 of the digests but I just bought the lot. Turned out I had the two (list maintenance - not my strength apparently) but one of the others was over than what I had so I swapped it out.
Congrats to the USA Women’s team. That was a lot of hustle. Holy moly.
If you are in the actual arena watching the women’s Olympic hockey game and cheering the USA…why? Only acceptable reason is that you are American. If you are anything else…for the love of god, why? You don’t have to cheer Canada, but a little silent opposition would be nice all things considered.
Why on Earth is the US team getting cheered so loudly in an Italian arena? Did they fly in a bunch of Americans for this game?
Vendor applications are now open for the 5th Back Issues Comicon being held April 18, 2026 in downtown Dartmouth, NS! forms.gle/L442vCUBeohU...

These Survivors have to stop calling Jeff Probst “Uncle J”. It’s irrational, yes, but also irritates me every time I hear it.
This photographer deserves one of those FIFA Peace prizes!
I said abolish and I fucking meant it @astridoverthere.bsky.social · 8mo agoOh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal. Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.
Any Winnipeggers/Winnipeg adjacent folks in the house that are planning to be at Winnipeg Comic Con this year?
Went to @backissuescomicon.bsky.social (I mean, I gotta since it’s my show) and it was great. Lots of people, happy vendors, cool crowd, special guests that I am so appreciative of. I saw some people buying some sweet books. I was busy but managed to pick these up.
