One: I’ll be taking part in Hex Education Journal’s Vol.1 reading later this month. More information to come next week.

Two: Over the weekend, I’m going to be messing with the design of The Scowl somewhat. Thrilling, I know, but it’s been over two years since I last tweaked the look of things, and I’m thinking of trying out some new features. Alternately, The Scowl is slowly evolving into my way to hearken back to my zine-making days, with the occasional burst of self-promotion. (See item one above.)

Three: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is damn good, with added points for the Microphones references. Feels in places like a summation of everything Bryan Lee O’Malley’s done up to that point; there’s a Lost at Sea feel to it in places, which is the first time in the Scott Pilgrim volumes I’ve had that impression.
