This past weekend was MoCCA Fest 2016, or for those of you unfamiliar, the Museum of Comic and Cartooning Art Festival. Since 2014 it has been put on by The Society of Illustrators. Once again it was held at a new venue, the Metropolitan West next to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museu. Highlighted guests included Sonny Liew (Doctor Fate, The Art Of Charlie Chan Hock Chye) and Rebecca Sugar (Adventure Time, Steven Universe). As with the past few years, I attended both days.
I was fortunate enough to get into both Sonny Liew’s Spotlight discussion on Saturday and Rebecca Sugar’s on Sunday. Both of these discussions were eye opening not only in the words that were said, but in who was listening to them.
On Saturday, Sonny’s discussion was moderated by his Doctor Fate collaborator, Paul Levitz. And you know that it’s an important discussion when...

Karen Green is developing the Columbia University comics archive from love, from vast knowledge, from the realization that it’s totally necessary and also totally cool. One of the Columbia Journalism School students decided to make her the subject of a video project, and this is the product.
Take a look at some of what she does and see original artwork from Wendy Pini and Al Jaffee, as well as the collection of Chris Claremont.

Comic actor will play celebrated Us author who committed suicide in 2008, alongside Jesse Eisenberg
• The perils of putting David Foster Wallace on film
• So Jason Segel, are you a man or a Muppet?
Jason Segel is to play David Foster Wallace in forthcoming film The End of the Tour, based on the book Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace.
The 2010 book was written by Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky, and is what it says on the tin: an account of a road trip with the author as he went across the Us promoting his 1,100-page novel Infinite Jest, recalling the conversations the pair have and the fame that Foster Wallace is starting to experience. Jesse Eisenberg, who played Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network and starred in Now You See Me earlier this year, will play Lipsky.
The script is by...

Sunday July 15th is the last day of Comic-Con 2012, and most of us will be completely worn out looking like Spider-Man in the image above. Chances are he's asleep under that mask. Sunday has always been a cool down day for us, we kind of just try to relax a little bit more and enjoy it. That doesn't mean their isn't anything to see or do though!
We've got a Fringe screening and Q&A, Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer 20th Anniversary, Sons of Anarchy, the annual Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical screening, and more! I've always wanted to go the Buffy musical sing-a-long, but am usually trying to leave San Diego before it starts.
Just a little reminder, we will be having our annual GeekTyrant meet up this year to meet our readers, which is something we always enjoy doing! That will take place on Wednesday night, and...

Well, I didn’t see you at the Will Eisner panel/celebration, held last Thursday, March 1st, at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, which, if you need to ask, is located at 594 Broadway, New York City, in the district known as SoHo. (And if you did need to ask…let’s just say that any comics reader, casual or otherwise, who is in lower Manhattan and has not yet visited Mocca, and continues not to visit Mocca just may have condemned themselves to an eternity of having Seduction of the Innocent read aloud to them by Bobcat Goldthwait.)
But back to the panel/celebration: you weren’t there and we didn’t miss you because we had what was pretty nearly a full house and that was gratifying. The “we” to whom I refer was three people who knew, or knew a lot about, Will, who died in 2005; Judy Hansen,...

I still love Friends. My friends still love Friends. And it makes me happy to know that despite being eight years removed from the show, Jennifer Aniston – one Friend of said Friends – also still loves Friends. Friends.
In an interview on CBS This Morning, Aniston told reporter Gayle King that she “absolutely” watches reruns of the show from time to time, drawing squeals from the Gellar-Green-Bing-Buffay-Tribbiani fan that exists in each and every child.
“I get very nostalgic and I sort of sit back with pride and I kind of just… it makes me happy. It makes me really happy,...

"The One About Immortality"
Welcome back to the happy happy world of Fauxlivia. It's a world threatening to end; a world without sheep (as it transpires); a world where those who love good coffee - and some of the other niceties of modern day life that we take for granted in our own universe - will have to console themselves by looking at the lovely retro airships that are now such a common mode of travel, or taking a scenic trip to the top of the World Trade Center.
But that doesn't faze our happy-go-lucky girl about town, her equally chipper retinue of guy-buddies and admirers or her devoted boyfriend; who, this week, is ready to pop the question. And if she can get to the bottom of a nasty bout of carnivorous beetles that are eating their way out of a series of human hosts, hell, she might even...
