Here’s my chat with Vanessa Stefaniuk at Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Podcast available on Apple Podcasts and player.FM
Vanessa is trained in classical animation and has applied her skills to create a webcomic called Radio Silence. I spoke with Vanessa at last year’s Mississauga Comic Expo about her work and background.

Here’s some of the current news about Canadian comic book creators and supporters.
The AV Club published an interview with team behind The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl including writer Ryan North about bringing the series to an end. Ryan was quoted as saying “…when you’re working on a character in a shared universe, you only have a little time with her, and then someone else will take over. It’s a little like being a parent and watching your kid go off to school for the first time—you’ve done all you can, and you’ll always be in their corner, but now it’s up to them.” You can read more at Aux.AVClub.com

Using the power of Twitter, Kris Anka announced that he’ll be teaming up with colorist Matt Wilson and writer Chip Zdarsky for a miniseries entitled The White Trees: A Blacksand Tale. With the first issue slated to go on sale August 14, the two oversized issue mini-series is described as a ‘fantastical world of Blacksand, peace was hard-won, and three unbending warriors carry the scars to prove it. Now, almost twenty years later, their children are missing and war is on the horizon.”

Comics Beat featured an interview with publisher Hope Nicholson about her editing work on Pros & (Comic) Cons an anthology of short prose and comics about convention experiences. When asked about the inspiration for the book, Hope said: “I was looking for common threads that bind fans and creators together, and comic cons seemed like a perfect choice! We all have our own stories, and unlike the previous books about love, sex, and dating that I published with Dark Horse, these can be a lot less vulnerable and intimate.” You can read more at ComicsBeat.com
