The Speakeasy Comics Show went off well - there seemed to be a bit more media there than in 2008 when I last participated - we were all interviewed for a comics webjournal (I have to look up which one) and there were a couple of photographers. I got quite excited because I recognized the works across from me from
this movie I've been waiting for. Turns out
Eshwin Dhir was the artistic director on the project as well - he says the tie-in comic is currently at the lettering stage, and will be released alongside the film, whenever that happens. So I had a painted image of Brad Dourif glaring at me from the corner of the room all evening, which I'm totally ok with.
ETA - the webjournal for which I was interviewed is
