Last Monday of every month at the Laudromat
Dernier Lundi de chaque mois au cafe Laundromat

Jams are kid-friendly (accompanied by legal guardians) from 7pm to about 9pm. After that, we kind of become a bad influence what with the potty mouth and the questionable taste and stuff...

Les mineurs sont bienvenus (lorsque leurs gardiens legaux les accompagnent) jusqu'à 21h.

What is the Monkeytown Comix Jam?
A collaborative gathering of cartoonists & doodlers passing around comix pages. Everyone contributes a panel of words, drawings or both until the page is full! Pages are posted to our blog, and headed for possible publication in a Jam book!

Sequential Bestsellers: May 20 (Spring Books Edition)

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/19/2009 03:53:00 PM

compiled/edited by B. Munn

We took a bit of a break for TCAF and the debut of the Sequential print edition, so we missed a week of the bestseller list. And who knows, now that the first long weekend of the season has come and gone, the list might go on Summer hiatus.

Anyway, here we go. The Top 30 Graphic Novels in Canada, courtesy of BookManager. The full list by BookManager is available, with some work, here. The list is compiled by BookManager based on sales through over 400 independent bookstores, including several comic book stores and the D+Q store. Sales through most comic shops and larger retailers like Chapters-Indigo are not reflected in this list. For balance, you might want to try the Amazon.ca and Chapters-Indigo lists. Sequential readers will be pleased to not that George Sprott, Scott Pilgrim, and Darwyn Cooke (not to mention Gustave Dore, the Secret Wars II Omnibus Edition, and NBM's "Gorgeous and ...Hung?" by Kinky Jimmy) are all included in Amazon.ca's Top 100 comics and graphic novels as I write this.

The Sequential list has two parts, the top 30 overall and (at the bottom) the top 30 by Canadian creators. See here for last week's list. Last week's rankings are in parentheses.

Top 30 Comics and Graphic Novels in Canada

1. (1) Watchmen, Moore/Gibbons (DC)
2. (3) B is for Beer, Tom Robbins (Harper Collins)
3. (-) Fullmetal Alchemist 18, Hiromu Arakawa (VIZ)
4. (4) Naruto 43, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
5. (2) Naruto 42, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
6. (5) Naruto 44, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
7. (6) Vampire Knight 6, Matsuri Hino (VIZ)
8. (8) Naruto 39, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
9. (10) Garfield Just Desserts, Jim Davis (Random)
10. (11) Naruto 40, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
-----
11. (-) Maus 1, Spiegelman (Knopf)
12. (9) Naruto 41, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)

16. (13) Naruto 37, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
17. (21) Hobbit, Tolkien et al (Harper Collins)
18. (-) Marvel Encyclopedia (Marvel)
19. (25) Wolverine 1: Prodigal Son, Tortosa/Johnston (Random House)
20. (15) Manga Metamorphosis, Kozumi Shinozawa (Tyndale)

25. (-) Naruto 34, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
26. Black Cat 20, Kentaro Yabuki (VIZ)
27. Maus II, Spiegelman (Knopf)
28. (-) Vampire Knight 5, Matsuri Hino (VIZ)
29. 19. (-) Maximum Ride, Vol. 1, James Patterson (Yen)
30. (-) B.O.D.Y., Volume 5, Ao Mimori (VIZ)


Standard explanation: The pattern that emerges from looking at these lists over a period of weeks is that certain books, especially manga series, continuously jostle with each other, sliding up and down the longer list on the strength of a new volume or a spate of purchases for the kiddies. This week: Some new manga volumes.

Canadian Content: You have to wade through an awful lot of translated Japanes manga, U.S. superhero fantasies, and collected editions of Sherman's Lagoon to come up with a list of 30 bestselling books created by Canadians. In total, BookManager lists over 4000 graphic novels, trades, and strip collections, the vast majority of which are not by Canadians.

Sequential's All-Canadian Top 30 from BookManager

1. (2) Louis Riel, Chester Brown (D+Q)
2. (1) Skim, Mariko Tamaki/Jillian Tamaki (Groundwood)
3. (13) Doug Wright: Canada's Master Cartoonist, Doug Wright (D+Q)
4. (3) Nightschool 1, Svetlana Chmakova (Yen)
5. (4) Big Foot, Graham Roumieu (Plume)
6. (10) Plain Janes, Castelucci/Rugg (Minx/DC)

Victoria Day

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/18/2009 02:15:00 AM

Happy May 2-4 from Sequential

The cartoon, by the great George (Alice in Wonderland) Tenniel, is from an 1876 Punch and depicts British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli as a sign-painter, attempting to make Queen Victoria both Queen of England and Empress of India. The joke is a play on the popular pub name, "The Queen's Head."

See here for more details.

Publishing: Papercut Hearts by Ian Sullivan Cant

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/07/2009 06:41:00 PM

Papercut Heart
by Ian Sullivan Cant
Conundrum Press
ISBN 978-1-894994-38-5
$15

Ian Sullivan Cant's zines / illustrated poems are collected here into his first book, Papercut Heart. In deceptively simple pages, he tackles love, death and dreams with a wistful existentialism. Chia pets frolic with narwhals under banners that flutter with secret hope, Frankenstein's creation speculates on the nature of self, and a story written entirely in Morse Code weaves through silent statuary. Cant's writing confronts the tragic disparity between fantasy and ideal, and the disappointment of reality, but always seeks to touch the reader with melancholy. His obsession with B-horror movies allows him to find the beauty in trash culture, either in the form of a hidden and subversive genius, or the tenderness and vulnerability of unskilled creative passion. Cant's instruction in zen poetry is evident in his clean, delicate linework which belies the depth of his sentiments. Ruminations on the temporal nature of all things are thrown into stark relief by the accompanying drawing, be it a cupcake, a matchbook, or the image of a lost love, and many, many, talking ravens.

Cant will be at TCAF at the Conundrum booth:

Canadian Bestsellers: May 6 (TCAF Edition)

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/06/2009 01:35:00 AM

compiled/edited by B. Munn

Just in time for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival and the debut of the first print issue of Sequential, it's the weekly edition of the Sequential Bestseller List!

The Top 30 Graphic Novels in Canada, courtesy of BookManager. The full list by BookManager is available, with some work, here. The list is compiled by BookManager based on sales through over 400 independent bookstores, including several comic book stores and the D+Q store. Sales through most comic shops and larger retailers like Chapters-Indigo are not reflected in this list. For balance, you might want to try the Amazon.ca and Chapters-Indigo lists. This list has two parts, the top 30 overall and (at the bottom) the top 30 by Canadian creators. See here for last week's list. Last week's rankings are in parentheses.

Top 30 Comics and Graphic Novels in Canada

1. (1) Watchmen, Moore/Gibbons (DC)
2. (3) Naruto 42, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)

29. (20) Naruto 2, Masashi Kishimoto (VIZ)
30. (-) Otomen, Volume 2, Aya Kanno (VIZ)


Standard explanation: The pattern that emerges from looking at these lists over a period of weeks is that certain books, especially manga series, continuously jostle with each other, sliding up and down the longer list on the strength of a new volume or a spate of purchases for the kiddies. This week: That new Wolverine manga has a strong-ish debut. Is it the only movie tie-in?

Canadian Content: You have to wade through an awful lot of translated Japanes manga, U.S. superhero fantasies, and collected editions of Sherman's Lagoon to come up with a list of 30 bestselling books created by Canadians. In total, BookManager lists over 4000 graphic novels, trades, and strip collections, the vast majority of which are not by Canadians.

Sequential's All-Canadian Top 30 from BookManager

1. (1) Skim, Mariko Tamaki/Jillian Tamaki (Groundwood)
2. (2) Louis Riel, Chester Brown (D+Q)

Publishing: George Sprott by Seth

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/05/2009 10:10:00 AM

George Sprott
By Seth
Drawn and Quarterly
96 pages, full color.
$24.95
ISBN: 978-1897299-51-7

The first major new graphic novel by Seth in 3 years.

Celebrated cartoonist and New Yorker cover artist Seth gives us the fictional life of George Sprott. On the surface George seems a charming, foolish, old man --but who is he? And who was he? Told as a patchwork tale, we come to know George, piece by piece, in a series of "interviews," flashbacks, and personal reminiscences. George Sprott is a story about time, identity, loss, and the persistence of memory. Though, ultimately, this is the story of a man's death, Seth leavens it with humor and restraint. Originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine, this greatly expanded and "re-mastered”\" version is George Sprott's first publication as a complete work.

The C-List: Wolverine Edition

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/04/2009 03:00:00 PM

Because the whole world is now an Alpha Flight fanpage.

Since every third websearch I did in preparation for this post came up with a reference to the new Hugh Jackman movie, I decided to just give in and go with it. It used to be that if there wasn't any actual news about Canadian comics to report, I would punish the Sequential readership with links to news about Alpha Flight. It's a sign of quantity of the Canadian content and the current efforts by Canadian creators that I haven't had to do one of those posts in awhile. Now that everyone on Earth is thinking about a Canadian superhero (albeit a corporate-owned superhero created by Americans), good art still triumphs here at Sequential.

Item: Toronto cartoonist Steve Manale has his apartment and robot collection featured in Eye Weekly.

Item: The National Post goes TCAF crazy, with interviews with Scott Campbell, Tom Humberstone, Paul Rivoche, Ryan North, Tim Fish, and J. Torres, and a backgrounder on the Scott Pilgrim phenom.

Item: Speaking of TCAF, did we mention Sequential is publishing a free print edition for the festival?

Item: And speaking of Scott Pilgrim, Colin Upton finally gets around to reading the fiirst volume in the series, and writes a review.

Item: Again with the Post, Nathalie Atkinson gets some quotes from Ontario retailers on the occasion of Free Comic Book Day.

Item: In other FCBD news, various media cover the events in Edmonton, Toronto, Halifax,

Item: Policart Bruce MacKinnon has won this year's Atlantic Journalism award for editorial cartooning. Congrats Bruce!

Item: D+Q publisher Chris Oliveros writes a long blog post about Doug Wright, making a case for him as a major cartoonist on an international scale and as a great illustrator. Lots of behind-the-scenes about the creation of the brand new Collected Doug Wright book, as well.

Item: Writing for the Central-Plains Herald-Leadre, Sean Borland reviews the new Metic graphic novel anthology, Stories of Our People.

Item: In publishing news, the strip collection L'Age d'Innocence by Eric Peladeau is now available from Editions Zailees.

Item: Zinester and novelist Mike Aragona's Mysterious Mystery Men is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Congrats Mike!

Item: In general book news, the Google copyright settlement deadline has been extended by 4 months and a growing group of authors and estates has formed an opposition.

-----

Item: Oh yeah, Wolverine. Well, it seems a movie about everyone's favourite superhero with a fictional attachment to Canada (no, not Superman) came out this weekend and made over $80 million in ticket sales. The Canadian-ness of this fact was noted by the New York Times and others. There are several Canadian actors in the film, but Alpha Flight, the Canadian superhero group created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, is referred to only elliptically. And that's all I can bear to link. There is really no comics news here. Well, besides this, which ties in neatly to the Google copyright think, ironically. (Plus, the Shusters are using the character to help with fundraising this year.)

James Turner's Warlord of IO Rejected by Diamond

:: Posted by Bryan @ 5/04/2009 12:58:00 PM

The Toronto cartoonist James Turner has had his latest project rejected by Diamond Distributors. The series, Warlord of Io, is Turner's follow-up to the Wright Award nominated Nil graphic novel and the Rex Libris comic book series.

The cancelled series, a comedic space opera set on Jupiter, was to be published by Slave Labor in the U.S. but has become the latest casualty of Diamond Distributors new minimum standards policy that denies distribution to comics deemed unlikely to sell a minimum number of copies. The policy is controversial since it reduces the chances of quality art reaching an audience. According to a report at Comic Book Resources, the book will be distributed online for now, with a possible trade collection in the future. Turner, who will be appearing at TCAF this week, has posted several updates along with a video preview at his website.

Tom Spurgeon writes, "I know that Warlord of IO is only one comic book, but a long time ago that what's the Direct Market was set up to do: give people a chance to buy the one comic book they wanted to buy. That obviously couldn't hold, but where the line gets drawn seems to me a much more vital issue than should be decided by a single company around which whirls occasional rumors of external financial distress. If the Direct Market will inevitably go away with the rise of an on-line replacement, why not have the best possible Direct Market until that happens?"

Sequential Pulp @ TCAF

:: Posted by max @ 5/03/2009 04:03:00 AM

The 2009 Toronto Comic Arts Festival is fast approaching, and we've got some cool news.

In the past we've mostly reported at a distance before and after TCAF, but this year we're going to be right there in the midst.

I'm pleased to announce the first Special Print Edition of Sequential.

It's free, it's full of amazing comics and articles, and it will be all over TCAF. I'll also be publishing a PDF of the 22 page magazine here on the blog the weekend of the festival so if you're not there you'll still be able to enjoy it. Here's the index for the magazine, and I'd like to send out a special shout out to guerrilla printing for their support of the project.
