On social media this week, we’ve seen  many posts from the contingent of Canadian comic book creators attending the International Comic Book Festival in Angoulême, France. I hope to have a report on the site soon from someone who was there.

The site this week featured an interview with Randy Stone about his continuing comic book series Bullet Adventures on Kickstarter.

Birthday greetings for this past week go out to Canadian comic book creator Derek Barton.
