Emily Carroll: writer/artist - Through the Woods
Marissa Meyer: author - Heartless
Keith Knight: cartoonist - The Knight Life
Matt Fraction: writer - Sex Criminals, Hawkeye
I've gotten a few emails on Open Reg; with the advent of February, it's time for your annual badge-and-hotel-sale anxiety to start building. I'll post on it shortly.

3rd group of SDCC special guests are up
25 JANUARY 2016
I'm pretty sure today's round of special guests is going to excite a lot of you. Without further ado...
Jamie McKelvie: artist - The Wicked + The Divine, Phonogram
Kieron Gillen: writer - The Wicked + The Divine, Phonogram
Noelle Stevenson: writer/artist - Lumberjanes
Jeff Smith: cartoonist/artist - Bone, RASL
Also - in the category of "painfully obvious" - if you're intrigued by the world of comic books but don't know where to start, any of SDCC's special guests are a good jumping off point. Not all of their work will be to your liking because comics contain a multiverse of styles and themes and vibes, but it's a safe bet that you'll encounter some work you do like. Just a thought.

Are you ready for SDCC special guests?
13 JANUARY 2015
I don't know if I am. Regardless, we have the first group.
Daniel Clowes: Writer/artist - Ghost World, Mr. Wonderful, Eightball
Babs Tarr: Artist - Batgirl
Howard Chaykin: Artist/writer - American Flagg!, Star Wars
Brian Selznick: Author/illustrator- The Marvels
CCI promises 4 more guests every week through March. So just shy of 50 guests, apparently. Last year we had 70. But the reduction might be a good thing, in that maybe it will allow more focus on the special guests who are there. Just a thought.

And the new SDCC special guests are...
20 APRIL 2015
Happy Earth Day. To celebrate, CCI has dropped a rather showy group of special guests on us - and they say these Monday announcements will continue into May, so we'll definitely have 60 special guests at a minimum when all is said and done. Who knows, maybe they'll go straight to 75.
Random thought: it would be cool if CCI threw an annual attendee event with all of the special guests. Maybe a meet and greet, maybe a charity dinner where every table gets a different guest as their server, maybe a speed mentoring event. Not that I ever see that happening.
The special guests are...
Greg Capullo: artist - Batman, Spawn
Tony Harris: artist - Starman, Ex Machina
Skottie Young: writer, cartoonist - Oz Books, I Hate Fairyland, Rocket Raccoon
Jeff Smith: cartoonist - Bone, RASL
Maggie Thompson: writer, editor, comics historian - Comics Buyer's Guide

A salute for SDCC special guest Raina Telgemeier
14 APRIL 2015
If you're like a lot of nerds, libraries may have played a sacred role in your childhood - the place where you read so many weird/adult books that the librarian talked to your mom; the place where you ate lunch in middle school after getting bullied in the cafeteria; the place where you got to read the graphic novels your allowance wouldn't cover and your parents wouldn't buy you. Libraries are an amazing part of our universe, right?
So it's always depressing and irritating to find out about the people trying to drive certain books out of library walls - shutting down public access to knowledge and entertainment, essentially. Now the American Library Association has released its list of the books that make cranky people make phone calls (or emails). And what do you know, they tend to be: YA novels, graphic novels and books by people of color. Sometimes all three.
If you're a comic fan, a few of these probably sit on your bookshelf - and if you've been paying attention to SDCC2015 special guests, you'll definitely recognize one of these names.
1. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
2. Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
3. And Tango Makes Three - Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell
4. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
5. It's Perfectly Normal by Robie Harris
6. Saga by Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples
7. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
8. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
9. A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard
10. Drama by Raina Telgemeier
That's right, SDCC special guest Raina Telgemeier is among the ranks of the subversive. I haven't read her book Drama (though I plan to immediately) but Amazon describes it as "a diverse set of characters that humorously explores friendship, crushes and all-around drama!" So you can see why it would be a huge threat.
Possibly this is news to some, but comic books have always been targeted for censorship - hence the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Efforts at silencing have come from other cultures, political groups and of course, Concerned Parents. But there's quite a difference between picking out your own kid's reading material and trying to stop anyone in a library jurisdiction from reading a specific book. So this is a report worth paying attention to, especially in this regard:
"The lack of diverse books for young readers continues to fuel concern. Over the past 12 months the library community has fostered conversations and fueled a groundswell toward activism to address the lack of diversity reflected in children's literature - both in content and among writers and illustrators."
Yikes.
At any rate, we know we have an inspiring creator (one of many) in our midst this July. Let's hope there will be some good panels on fighting censorship and fostering diversity - which is just another word for humanity, remember! - in comics. And let's all hope people of all ages get even more exciting books and graphic novels in the future.
