Toronto Comic Arts Festival - Wrap-up
/Crystal and I had a great time at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, meeting people, talking about art, and buying comics (possibly too much of that last one). The atmosphere at the festival is great, and comics are really the main player. Most of the tables are occupied by artists who self-publish or work with a small publisher, and the types of books are myriad. Here is a list (in no particular order) of all the comics that Crystal and I picked up this weekend. As I finish reading them, I'll post up reviews in batches.
