...And We're Back

:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/07/2008 01:47:00 AM


The Mighty Sequential roars back after a long Long Weekend (in addition to Canada Day, we took the U.S. July 4th weekend off for good measure) with a roundup of news and views from and about the great Northern Comics Scene Explosion, aka Canadian Comix Culture. Let's check in with our regular departments:


Taking-a-Stand Dept: Herve St-Louis, intrepid and principled publisher of The Comic Book Bin, outlines his philosophy of publishing and journalistic integrity, including his refusal to engage in industry gossip, feud with other news sources, or blithely forward misleading press releases from Marvel and DC.

Helping-Hand Dept: Herve St-Louis, intrepid and principled publisher of The Comic Book Bin, makes an appeal to his readers to create a Comic Book Bin entry on Wikipedia because it would be unethical for him to do it himself. St-Louis helpfully provides all the info a would-be Wiki-scholar needs to create such an entry.

Zombie-Awards Dept: The Coast's Sue Carter Flinn catches Faith Erin Hicks' reaction to her recent Shuster win.

I-Speak-Freely Dept: The Supreme Court of Canada has reversed recent trends clamping down on free speech in a recent decision. The conservative editor and blogger Andrew Coyne (Maclean's) covers the judges' statements on the issue of "fair comment".

Flexi-Fingers Dept: Daniel Joseph of Laurier's Cord Weekly profiles Scott Ramsoomair, creator of the video game webcomic VGCATs.

Detournement Dept: Policart Bruce MacKinnon has recently seen his editorial cartoon about Obama winning the presidency misappropriated by diverse groups. Sequential is reminded of a somewhat similar situation from a decade-or-so ago when a pair of satirical Robert Crumb strips were reprinted by racist groups in the U.S.

Nudity Dept: Toronto cartoonist Steve Murray illustrates his trip to a nudist colony. (see top image)

Gamma Flight Dept: As a rule, Sequential only links to an Alpha Flight-related story when there is absolutely nothing else to link to, but I'm feeling generous. Thus, this Georgia Straight article about the location of a scene in the recent Hulk movie.

Lucky Ello Dept: D+Q visits the London, Ont. studio of cartoonist/fine artist Richard Thompson (EDIT: that's Peter Thompson --sorry. BM).
