Where some conventions skew more toward pop culture than comic books, this past weekend's Emerald City Comicon 2013 stocked Seattle with hundreds of prominent creators from every corner of the medium. ComicsAlliance was on hand to catch the faces behind the funnybooks as they met fans, signed comics and worked on commissions...

Hourly Comic Day 2013: A Few Favorites
Last Friday, February 1, was Hourly Comic Day, an annual event that tasks artists of all skill levels with creating comic panels to summarize their respective days, one for each hour that they're awake.

On sale now from Image Comics is EmiTown Vol. 2, a 400-page opus of autobiographical comics by Emi Lenox. I was of course familiar with Lenox's cute superhero pinups that have been featured here on ComicsAlliance and with her contributions to Jeff Lemire's Vertigo book Sweet Tooth, but before last night I'd just never gotten around to reading the much acclaimed day-to-day diary comics that compris

Scott McCloud's dare-inspired 24-Hour Comics Day turned 21 this past weekend and cartoonists the world over showed up in full force to participate. Calling on creators to complete 24 pages completely from scratch in the span of a single sitting, 24-Hour Comics Day is considered a grueling challenge and those who complete it wear their final products like a badge of honor...

Emi Lenox mines her real life for material in her autobiographical comic EmiTown, but she's been known to take commissions and recreationally draw other people's characters as well.

This week Image Comics released Emitown, a 400-page collection that includes over a year of the autobiographical webcomic by artist Emi Lenox, a former intern at Top Shelf Comix and Periscope Studio. Emi's daily diary comics have a strong manga influence, a bent towards humor, and a special sweetness and charm that make the tribulations of her life seem endearing even when they're frustrating or s
