Links, pithy comments, you know the drill. The graphics on this one might not be astonishing, but the idea of supermassive black holes being flung from collisons at galactic cores is probably cool enough on its own to sustain interest. I love how science writers drop line like “these objects can have masses equivalent to one billion Suns” the way… Read more →

Now Magazine vs The Adapters
I’ve been following the video posts from the shooting of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the movie that’s being adapted from Bryan Lee O’Malley’s series of Scott Pilgrim comics. Partly this is because I dig the comics, and it seems like the filmmakers are having a wonderful time adapting them, and partly it’s because Mal used to live here in… Read more →

It’s been a big week in comic book news here in Halifax. First there was last week’s release of the third volume of Scott Pilgrim (by current Halifax resident & HGPA member Bryan Lee O’Malley). This was a big enough deal get coverage in a national paper (see a scan here). If you believe what you read on the Internets:… Read more →
No Virus Keeps Me Down.
Instead of resting and recovering tonight, I opted to instead go into town and be a part of the Halifax comic scene. At one point, if I had been carrying a video camera, I could have shot a 15 minute short feature, in one take, that would have won awards. Awards, I say. I would have titled this feature “The… Read more →
