Yup, still not at San Diego Comic Con this year, so here’s all the breaking news and events from this annual gathering of comic book creators especially those from Canada.
And before I get to the schedule of events for Sunday, here’s some of the late breaking news that’s coming from the show.
At the Eisner Awards, Jillian Tamaki won in the category of Best Graphic Album – Reprint for Boundless from Drawn & Quarterly. Congrats to all the nominees and winners.
