I did it! I may have failed to keep perfectly to the schedule, but I've finished another one! We're over halfway through now. ^_^ So what's next? "Obviously Issue 4," you say? Ummmmmm......maybe not yet? Let me explain. Last year was a bad year. It threw off a lot of stuff, with the comic and my other artistic endeavours suffering the most in my schedule. So while I have managed to get Issue 3 finished (2 months late, but finished is finished) I am not at all ready to start on Issue 4. Yes, this is going to sound familiar - while Issue 4 has an overview, I have yet to finish storyboarding the pages. (And believe you me, that is absolutely necessary. With the pages in Issue 3 that were outlined badly, or had to change, was sometimes the worst thing holding me up.) Just like last time, the comic is going to have to go on hiatus so I can get that done first. So the plan right now is: take the time "off" and storyboard both Issues 4 and 5 so no more giant pauses after

Once more into the breach! It's the: Anime North 2023 Con Report! FRIDAY I had a meeting Thursday night, so I had to drive into TO on Friday morning again. Luckily the drive was uneventful, if not just more traffic than I expected at the time. Got to J's, we unpack the car, chat a bit then repack and head out. Took the longer route because the construction was still on the shorter route, but aside from rush hour starting earlier than I would have thought, we did pretty good. Got a decent parking spot too. We head in, and get our passes in like, 5 minutes (BIG improvement over last year) and head in. We toured the Dealer's room right away, trying to get a lay of the land. Found the big manga booth super early, but because we didn't want to have to carry the heavy books around for long and didn't want to do an immediate run back to the car with them either, we didn't go in. But we get a good look and figure out what we might want to come back to later, and then head to the

The End. The Flash has come to a close, and with it, the Arrowverse. This is a sad day. Oh, I knew the shows weren't going to go on forever. But I hoped the universe might. They had created such a rich tapestry of Earth Prime, and the surrounding multiverse that they could have made all kinds of shows and just given us the odd hope of a cameo with the originals when the actors felt like it. But I guess it's good that they all ended before DC just cast it all into flames. I mean, they haven't exactly brought a full season of A-game episodes, so you can see the smoke, but there was some good stuff. The Red Death arc ended badly, but the premise (and most of the build up) was pretty decent. And I thought it was cool that they did it with Batwoman. (Fuck, as great as it was to see Javicia Leslie again, it's too bad they couldn't have worked in that this was how Kate Kane disappeared. I mean, I know that fucks up all of Batwoman's continuity, but it would have made more sense to
