Comics are the awesome. Not being able to share that love via a silly annual observance due to a pandemic is not. So I took my comic out to my front door and sat on my front step to read. Because why not?

Read Comics in Public Day 2019
Happy Read Comics in Public Day! Today I took my comics to work with me and read them on my break, which I’ve got to admit isn’t unusual, but is always fun!
Read Comics in Public Day 2018
Happy Read Comics In Public Day! This year I wandered to the local park after work and discovered that Wonder Woman is a very distracting comic. So distracting that I read it until it was too dark to read any more!
Read Comics in Public Day 2017
What better place to read a spooky horror comic featuring a creepy murderous child than underneath a lonely street light in the park at night?
Marvel : Creating the Cinematic Universe
When QAGOMA announced they were holding an exclusive exhibit of costumes and props used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe I needed to go to there. This exhibit was magical! It was possible to get very close to the costumes and see all the intricate detail in them, but that just made me want to touch the fabric to feel the texture in my fingers. I managed to resist the urge to touch, but only just!
Image Comics 25th Anniversary
Today is Image Comics’ 25th Anniversary! Happy Birthday Image! Most of my favourite comics are published through Image, and if I’m honest, I didn’t realise it had been around for 25 years, it’s an amazing milestone! I managed to pick out just ten comics that I’m really enjoying right now from Image to recommend for the occasion.
#WICFest
The All Star Womens’ Comic Book Club Women in Comics Festival was a magical event organised by the lovely founders of the All Star Womens’ Comic Book Club. The festival brought together lovely talented women to chat and make art all weekend, it was an amazing experience!
Thought Bubble 10 Year Anthology
This year I will be going to the Thought Bubble Festival in Leeds. Insert excited squealing and hand waving here. If this collection is anything to go by, this is going to be an amazing convention!
