Happy New Year!

:: Posted by Bryan @ 12/31/2007 01:45:00 AM


Sequential predicts: 2008 will be great! Lots of great comics, lots of bad comics, and lots of dopey internet blather about both!

One last go around: Some quick links about comics in Canada.

  • Convention promoter and blogger Kevin Boyd offers up his list of the top graphic novels of 2007. He provides 30 mostly superhero titles which he winnows down to a top 10.
  • Robin Bougie posts his top 10 graphic novels of 2007, in response to that lame Time magazine list. And Bougie's list is pretty good!
  • Chris Butcher takes a stab at Dirk Deppey-style linkblogging, including pointers to some "best-of" lists and sneak peaks of Kean Soo comics. As well, Butcher has photos from the Faith Erin Hicks/Svetlana Chmakova signing at the Beguiling, including a great snap of the snow-bound front entrance to the store.
  • Maclean's profiles several programs devoted to teaching comics at the university level.
  • Greg Roch of Comics Readers in Regina reports on sales of gonorrhea in his shop.
  • Eye Weekly's Sasha gives the nod to Steve MacIsaac's comics in a Best of 2007 round-up.
  • The Tyee reports on cartoonists Dan Murphy and Bob Krieger being dumped by the Vancouver Province newspaper:
Murphy and Krieger were told by Province management that their cartoons would no longer be regularly published on the editorial pages of The Province, they were offered other positions at the newspaper as well as the option of leaving the employ of The Province with buy-out payments.

Happy New Year, Sequential readers! Sequential will return sometime in 2008 with new features and our year-end wrap-up.
