Since my most recent Nexus Graphica is about my adventures at the Austin Comic Con (aka Wizard World Texas), I figured it’d be a good time to catch up with what I picked up at the con.

After 6+ years and 138 bi-weekly Nexus Graphica columns, Mark London Williams and I started to find it difficult to continue producing at that rate. We both enjoy time-consuming freelance writing careers of varying success, yet we both still liked writing the missives about comics. Plus we felt that things had started to grow stale. Something had to change. Mark and I decided it was time to shake things up a bit by moving the column to a new site with a different format and a slightly different readership.
The first of the new monthly columns (Mark and I will alternate issues) premiered on February 20 at its new home, SF Signal. I recount the origins of the column (and the unusual name) plus review Beautiful Darkness by Fabien Vehlmann & Kerascoët, The Wake Part One by Scott Snyder & Sean Murphy, and Sheltered, Volume One by Ed Brisson & Johnnie Christmas.
Over at SF Site as part of our bi-weekly Nexus Graphica column, Mark London Williams and I produced our annual foray into the best reads of the previous year.

Earlier this week, Mark and I unveiled the second half of the annual Nexus Graphica best graphic novels of the year. I’m not going to reveal all the books here (though astute readers may glean the selections from the images above), so you best visit the column for the full skinny.
Yesterday saw the unveiling of the first half of the annual Nexus Graphica best graphic novels of the year. I’m not going to reveal all the books here (though astute readers may glean the selections from the images above), so you best visit the column and then return in two weeks when Mark and I reveal our top five books.
