Comixology's Submit portal is a way for independent and self published digital comics to get onto the largest digital comics service out there, and many people have taken advantage of it. While no one seems to have gotten rich off it, a sale is a sale. And COmixology has just released a list of the top 25 sellers for 2014, topped by Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore's Leaving Megalopolis.

I'm there.

The MoCCA Dining Guide 2013 Edition

This is our fourth guide to dining in the mysterious area surrounding the Lexington Armory on 26th and Lexington, and in the last year this area—now known at NoMad—has become one of the city's culinary hot spots, with high-end restaurants like The Nomad and Maysville getting the ink. But fear not, as always, there is much cheap (well, by New York City standards) yet amazing grub to be grabbed nearby. Of course, great food is always a subway ride away, but if you don't mind walking a few blocks you won't be disappointed. We've updated some of last year's listings but there are some new standouts.

The first email has gone out with the time for San Diego Comic-Con badge sales. Although the email urges everyone to keep it a little secret between themselves and Comic-Con, the on-sale is already being tweeted about and won't stay secret long. HOWEVER, if you do not have a Member ID forget it -- you cannot buy a badge.

CONFIRMED: 'Comic-Con' doc's tour canceled before it began?

Want to go to Comic-Con? You'll need your member ID

0
As former Comic-Con attendees noted on Monday, a whole new system for getting badges is being implemented—even for people who are already in the system for having a badge. Affecting pros, press and volunteers, the new system requires you to create your own Member ID and password, type in a really tough captcha and confirm and then then....wait for the next step.
The system is sufficiently difficult that they made a 2+ minute video showing you how to do it.
