Flashmob Fridays, tumblr, and other stuff

I know this blog has been dormant for the past few weeks, but that doesn't mean I haven't been reading comics, thinking about comics, and even writing about comics.

First of all, check out the new Flashmob Fridays blog, maintained by the guys from Trouble with Comics. And yes, I am one of the regular contributing writers! The concept is simple: each week, a bunch of us submit reviews for the same book, and they all get compiled on Friday so you can compare the different reactions and opinions. We're working on a way to follow that up with some discussion.

The blog launched last week with a review of Daredevil #6, for which I unfortunately wasn't able to make the deadline. But I did participate this week with my take on Kevin Keller #2. Check it out.

In other news, I've started posting on Tumblr again. I really needed a place where I could post more spontaneously and about a broader range of topics than this blog, and Tumblr seemed like the best platform for that. If you decide to follow me there (and you really should), you'll see a mix of comics art, fan art, introspective autobiographical posts, and plenty of commentary on issues like feminism, sexual identity, politics, etc.

You can also of course follow me on Twitter.

And if you missed it completely here on this blog, be sure to check out last month's interview with Nathan Fairbairn.

I'm going through some pretty big life changes right now, including a new job and a new schedule. I hope to start posting here regularly in the new year. Don't give up. Irrelevant Comics will rise again. And thanks for reading.
