May 22, 2012, Portland OR--Angel & Faith writer
Christos Gage is coming to Oregon--and he'll be signing at the new
Portland Things From Another World (TFAW) store June 13 from 7 to 10
p.m. Not only will guests get to meet one of comics' coolest writers,

"We
wanted the first signing at the new Portland TFAW to be something
really special, and we're incredibly excited to have Christos Gage in
the store," said TFAW's Senior Director of Retail Operations Andrew
McIntire. "Angel & Faith is one of our favorite Whedon books, and we've loved his work on Avengers Academy and X-Men Legacy, too!"
Two
of Joss Whedon's most controversial characters, Angel and Faith, have
joined forces in a phenomenal new series by Christos Gage and Rebekah
Isaacs! Angel has made bad choices in his life. However, he believes
he's found a way to make amends, by bringing Giles back from the grave!
Cue Faith--rebel Slayer, and Angel's only ally--who only supports this
harebrained scheme to keep her friend from catatonia. New threats emerge
as this unlikely duo struggles against real and personal demons, while
hitting the dark streets of London!
In addition to Angel & Faith, Gage has been knee-deep in Marvel's epic crossover event, Avengers vs. X-Men, writing both Avengers Academy and X-Men Legacy. Pick up the most recent issues at TFAW and get them signed June 13--see you there!

06/07 - Chili Com Carne: FUTURO PRIMITIVO @ Floating World
FUTURO PRIMITIVO is an art exhibiton of Portuguese comix and illustration artists, curated by Texan artist Nevada Hill.
In this show you can see the original work of 30 different artists that
made Futuro Primitivo comix book, in a seminal project of mixing
different strips from different artists making all together a brand new
comix story.
Chili Com Carne founder, Marcos Farrajota, stated
that “PRIMITIVE FUTURE” was to be the last manifesto of the Art of
Publishing and hence, he invited ALL members of the Chili Com Carne to
participate in this volume!
The given theme was dystopian and
post-apocalyptic Science Fiction. As an inspiration, each author was
asked to choose an item from a list of some of the biggest technological
creations that caused Humanity to move forward into abyss: weapons,
agriculture, fire, shelter, wheel, metal, currency, printing, steam
engine, electricity, nuclear power, transistor, the pill and Dolly...
The comics were combined exquisite corpse style. Strips / panels/ comics
were reorganized and mixed together, so that it would create a
"meta-story" with the sum of all these “graphic-narrative units” of
various comics.

Cartoon Survivor - League of Extraordinary Bloggers
This week's assignment from the League of Extraordinary Bloggers is Ultimate Crossover. I have been think of this for a while. This is the perfect excuse to share it. I would most like to see a Cartoon Survivor; in the “Who killed roger rabbit” genre. This would be celebrity survivor with our favorite cartoon characters, new and old. These characters have so much personality that we know and recognize. What alliances would be formed? Who would win competitions? Who will backstab who? Who goes crazy? Who is first to get kicked off?
I think we would have to have:
Daffy Duck
Yosemite Sam
Pepe Le Pew
Droopy Dog
Thelma
Betty Boop
Woody Woodpecker
Jessica Rabbit
Goofy
Phil Ken Sebben (Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law)
Butt-Head (From Beavis & Butt-Head)
Dr. Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb)
Squidward
Daria Morgendorffer
Boo Boo Bear
Bobby Hill
BullwinkleCaillou
Lucy (From Charlie Brown)
Lisa Simpson
Rabbit (From Winnie the Pooh)
You get the idea. Which cartoons should be sent to the island.
Other members from the League:
