comics

So I have a massively long Escapade report that I hope to finish and post sometime in the near future, but right now I want to talk about what I read on the plane: D.C.: The New Frontier. [livejournal.com profile] literaryll was kind enough to loan me some comics a while back (a long while back, actually--I've been very slow in making my way through them), and she seems to be an absolute genius in picking out things I will love, because I think this may be my all-time favorite comic series.

Spoilers, obviously )

Escapade report: part one

Con report (part 1 of 2, because I am WORDY)

I wrote most of this offline while waiting for my shuttle--offline because the wireless signal in the hotel sucked monkey balls.

This was my second year at Escapade. I never ended up writing a con report last year, because despite the fact that I got to meet some cool people from my f-list (waves at [livejournal.com profile] anoel) and make some new friends (waves at [livejournal.com profile] rsadelle) last year, overall I had found it an alienating experience. I am really introverted, and found it quite difficult to connect with people, and although I went to a couple of the Harry Potter panels and found them interesting, overall I wasn't really interested in the topics being discussed, and I had pretty much decided not to go again.

But then [livejournal.com profile] slinkling, who I have adored from afar for quite a while now, decided to go, and so I went. And I'm very happy to have gone, not simply for the chance to meet and hang out with her and [livejournal.com profile] clari_clyde (though that was definitely the highlight of the con for me), but also because this year I found the panels very, very interesting.
