S.P.A.C.E.

Well, I made it to SPACE (Small Press and Comics Expo) this year!  I'm not really a fanboy comic reader so I'm pretty much out of the loop, and this thing sneaks up on me every year so I'm always unprepared with any kind of business card to hand out and any kind of surplus cash to toss around.  But thanks to my buddy Justin who texted me to let me know yesterday was the day!
Overall the quality of self-published books was much, much higher than the last time I attended.  It was wicked inspiring to see some of the stuff there, some real high-caliber work done by some talented folks.  Of course there's the weird shit too!
I will update this post with links for some of the cooler stuff I came across as I find the time to dig through my goodie bag.  I couldn't afford all the great stuff I saw BUT I got a sweet book called Afrodesiac by Greg Rugg (I think, I will update when I know for sure) and it's way cool.  Unfortunately I bought it on my way out and he was "on-panel" for the show so I didn't get it signed!  Bummer.
