Just another month in the high stakes world of comic books and the people that love them.
There are some genuinely interesting items making headlines on the sequential front this month, and I would be remiss if I didn’t touch on a few of them here. From professional perspectives on a call to boycott one of the two major publishers (hint: not DC) to the wildly successful endeavours of a group of female artists and writers to kickstart their own new anthology, and finally to the birth of a new Canadian Comic Festival.

What is a Fablerism?
It is a post that does not pertain to profiling or interviewing an artist of any sort, nor does it (predominantly) discuss critical items to Canadian indie comic creators.
In this post specifically, we talk news about The Fabler.com’s overhaul, Free Comic Book Day, the Siegel/Warner Bros. litigation hearings, and Scott McCloud.

The Fabler interviews Jason Turner, who is perhaps most well known for the online-comic-turned-graphic-novel True Loves (which he co-authored with his wife, Manien Bothma).
Jason had some interesting insights to share about his inspiration, why True Loves had to be set in Vancouver, and whether or not he would abandon printed versions of his comics altogether in the foreseeable future.
Ch-ch-check it out.

Exploring several novels that make great entry points for anyone interested in learning more about the history, theory, and concepts behind comic books.
Ever wonder about how the mainstream side of the industry came to be locked in a perpetual stalemate between DC and Marvel? Curious about what elements other indie comic creators consider when they’re putting together an original work? Dying to know where you can get your hands on something that actually talks about Canada’s contributions to comic books?
Look no further, comic fansters!
