Bits and pieces...Action 1000!
Good day, I write this as a bit of a (I don't want to call it filler) time crunch has hit me this week. (Thanks nasty weather!) Tomorrow is Action Comics 1000 and also the 80th anniversary of the first issue of the book! As someone who has loved this particular title forever I can't believe it's here.
This is amazing because although many European publications have reached this (mostly because they publish weekly or biweekly) Action becomes the first one on our side of the pond to make it. And that is very pleasing. In addition to six cover versions, there will be a hardcover book.
Action 1000 will be followed by a new weekly Man of Steel series by Brian Michael Bendis, and then Superman will reboot again and Action 1001 and the new Superman (v5) 1 will represent a new start (yet again) for Superman. These will not come out until July so this will represent Action's fourth three month hiatus over the course of its long lifetime. I hope the wait is worth it.
Ottawa News and Notes - My local comic shop Multizone Aylmer has switched locations and moved to 10 Belmont Drive in Aylmer from the Galeries Aylmer. Personally I am happy because I hated the parking at the mall, (and the shuffling old people that will get worse when the retirement condos open.)
The CAPE Cornwall show (http://www.cornwallpopevent.com) is happening this weekend on April 21 and 22. It is a smaller version of the Comiccons that we all like and they deserve some local love and support. (They even have some guests! Check out the site.) Dark Age Comics and Kah-Boom Comics are some of the dealers that will be there, too.
I met an interesting artist at the GalaGeek (the high school mini-show I mentioned in my last entry) I took my kids to last weekend by the name of Steve Coffin.( http://stevecoffin.com/). He is planning to be at Ottawa Comiccon in the Artist Alley. I found the cover of his book Lutu,Warrior of the North #6 interesting as I love Codex from the Guild (pictured below.)
Anyway, have a great day and I hope to have a more complete entry soon.
