§ Strange Adventures, a Halifax, N.S. comics shop is holding a Ladies Night!:
Strange Adventures in Halifax will host its first-ever Ladies Night on Thursday, Jan. 28. Owner Calum Johnston said it’s a chance for women who are interested in comics but might have felt intimidated or awkward about venturing into a comic-book shop, but it’s also an event for fangirls to gush about comics without guys. Johnston said there won’t even be any male staff members at the event.
“The Halifax store’s assistant manager Tina Johns is running the show with help from our other part-time staff Nat and Jennie,” he said. “We’ve invited a couple of local female cartoonists to attend, not for a signing, but to talk with those who attend about the comics they work on and their favourites.”

Can’t believe this got buried. Really looking forward to it.
“Chip Kidd presents Chip Kidd’s Captain Marvel by Chip Kidd.” Or maybe he has more respect for american artists than japanese ones.
Oh look, the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes! Honestly, is that Strange Tales cover, good design? Remember the great cover design work on “Final Crisis?” Wow, it’s sure easy to be seduced, isn’t it?
