Thanks to Lauren Davis at io9 for including Agnes Quill in their roundup of Webcomics to Terrify You This Halloween!
When I was a student at SVA, my favorite place to see shows was Irving Plaza. So getting to see a former classmate perform there was a once in a lifetime thrill. I couldn’t be more stoked about the awesome music, comics and art Gerard Way continues to put out. I was floored that he gave me & Raina a shout out in the middle of his show. Just further proof of what a sincere and thoughtful person Gerard still is after all these years. #letsmakeawesomestuff

I thought it would be fun to I dye my hair purple.
Maybe it was because I was excited about the new editions of Jellaby? Have you checked them out? You should!
But in less than two weeks most of the red started falling out, and now it’s mostly blue.
It’s already time for another amazing Small Press Expo! It’s one of the best events of the year, and you should be a part of it!
