New Statesman: Interviews with David Lloyd, David Mack, David Hine, and Tim Seeley
My four interviews in one piece is up at the New Statesman, and I've had very lovely feedback all round - which is always a Good Thing! All four creators will be at the upcoming London Super Comic Con, and all are especially lovely.
Here they are talking about working in creator owned comics and all that that entails. Enjoy!

And more!
Stay tuned for more upcoming interview with David Lloyd, David Mack, Tim Seeley, David Hine, and the one and only Neal Adams as I count down to the London Super Comic Con next month.

Kids Read Comics: A Popular Revival
A couple of my recent pieces have focused on children's comics here in the UK, and how they've been enjoying a bumper year thanks to some new blood and clever regenerations.
The Dandy Returns over at The Beat looks at how one of the worlds longest running comics is making the change from paper to digital format, while Kids Read Comics: A Popular Revival over at the New Statesman looks at The Phoenix comic and others on offer for children today, as part of a week long focus on British comics at the popular political and cultural magazine.
Check them out!

BTW, does anyone have a Nintendo 3DS? And if so, what games would you recommend. I'm tempted by Animal Crossing out next month!

@NicWilko @davidwynne I'd have loved to see it at Vertigo under Berger and co. It felt odd being in the DCU.
