I’m squeaking in under the wire to show some love for a topic near and dear to my heart: Comic books.

You guys are going to the Emerald City ComiCon, right?

I’m not a superhero fan, I read a lot of Vertigo books, and a lot of, quite frankly, weird and dark books. But, even for a non-hero-lover like me, the ComicCon offers an opportunity to find new titles I wouldn’t otherwise see, meet authors and artists I like, and generally geek out. The ComiCon is making the move from the Qwest Field Events Center to the Convention Center downtown this year, and I’m excited to see their expansion. Please support them!

If you’re looking for a resource on comic books but don’t want to have to ask an actual person in real life, my friend Peter runs the P-I’s comic blog, and he knows more about comics than anyone else I’ve ever met.

Thanks Slog, it’s been fun. Or, humbling and stressful. That’s sort of like fun.
