Notes on the Vol 6 release at The Beguiling, Toronto
1. a lot of people showed up — probably around 2000!
2. scott pilgrim fans are very awesome and sweet and well-behaved. The morning after, we were all kind of in a daze and conversations revolved around "Wow, i can't believe nobody called the cops and there wasn't any trouble."
3. people put together amazing costumes! I hope more pictures of them surface soon. I only had a chance to take a few pics, since I was, um, busy. But I wish I had gotten to walk around the street more and just mingle...

Sorry. It's still indie comics. We're doing our best.
Here's a pic from last night's release party at the Beguiling in Toronto!

Edgar Wright VS Bryan Lee O'Malley: The Soundtrack
This morning I read a review of the Scott Pilgrim movie soundtrack and this afternoon I had a chance to listen to all the songs in order, so I thought I'd talk about them a little!
Edgar Wright (the director) and I were sending mix CDs back and forth in the early days (2004-5) and then just bombarding each other with MP3s as the years went by, and all of the "library" songs on the soundtrack come from those conversations. (I'm not going to talk about the newly-recorded material, since most...

Comics lesson: i am learning
A key lesson is: try to attach your balloons to the tops of the panels, especially the corners, because that makes everything a hell of a lot easier both for you and the reader.
I got that from a Toriyama how-to-manga book, but you could also get it from looking at pretty much any good comic ever
Anyway, this page from vol 5 has a bunch of panels (ten) but it's pretty straightforward and readable, I think.
Comics lesson: what not to do
Try to avoid layouts that make as little sense as this one. Also try to avoid hiding your weak layouts with trickery, such as arbitrarily wider gutters (top right) or dropping panel borders to create the illusion of clarity (bottom middle).
(From Scott Pilgrim Vol 3)
