Twisted Visions comes to Bristol If you've been around the UK indie comics scene, you should have heard of Valia Kapadai.
She's from Athens, she's slightly crazy (in the good way), and Rich McAuliffe and I have been fighting over her months. Brilliantly talented and producing a unique style of artwork, I've been lucky enough to work...
Chris vs. Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac... Tim O'Reilly tweeted out what he called a "compelling" article today, the titular "Five Reasons iPhone vs. Android isn't Mac vs Windows" by Mark Sigal.

The Geek Ninjas of Geek Syndicate have broken some exclusive news on the dates, line up, venues, etc. for the 2010 Bristol Comic Con.
The con will run over 3 days this year; 21 – 23 May to be precise; and will be spread between the Ramada and Mercure Hotels. This year’s double con (the seperate but affiliated Bristol Comic Con and Bristol Small Press Expo) also appear to have merged to create this single super-sized convention.
Also, there’s some guy called Chris Claremont coming.
Exciting news for the return of our of the UKs best conventions!

The existential dread that contemplating this for too long can engender is almost beyond comprehension, a crippling, agonising state of almost blind panic as you question whether anything you do has any meaning.
And then, you see this …YBNBY Hall of Fame: Unintentionally Funny Comic Panels.
And you realise the being in comics is cool because, if nothing else, you can slip this subversive nonsense past people from time to time. I, for one, don’t believe any of these are as unintentional as the creators would have us believe
For me, they are all the funnier for that! Enjoy.

A tale of magic, love, death, and ouija boards, it will hopefully chill the spine and warm the heart in equal measure.
For anyone who hasn’t seen Rick’s artwork on this, here’s a sneak preview …
