At the end of the month, nine popular comics podcasts will take part in a huge crossover event called Secret Convergence on Infinite Podcasts. It's an epic undertaking that crosses between shows including Wait, What?, House to Astonish, War Rocket Ajax and Rachel & Miles X-Plain the X-Men. Each show will tie-in for one episode, in which guests from the other shows intervene and take part in the discussion. Each show focuses on a different, criss-crossing topic relating to the world of comics, including 'Guilty Pleasures', 'Complex Continuity', and 'The Comics We Share'.

Today, The Mary Sue reported that GenCon would be hosting a panel titled "Writing Comics: Writing Women Friendly Comics" that featured only male comics writers.

If you want to hear us speak on panels, or if you want to talk about comics with us, here's where you can find CA folks at ECCC this weekend (and yes, we're pretty sure they cloned Kate Leth this year).

If you're reading this site, you probably love comic books -- but many of you may wonder how much it loves you back. For an industry that's already niche, American comics has seemed oddly willing to narrow its audience. For a medium that prides itself on community, American comics has been quick to close its doors. For an artform that can show readers anything, American comics has seemed content t

This week on ComicsAlliance's official podcast, we're pleased as punch to welcome Rachel Edidin, the Dark Horse Comics editor responsible for the print collections of Axe Cop, Finder and The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, as well as the newly released The Last Dragon...

Today, ComicsAlliance welcomes guest writer Rachel Edidin, who works as an editor at Dark Horse Comics. Lately, between Womanthology and DC's All-New-Almost-All-Male 52, the popular lens has turned -- as it is wont to do every year or so -- to the Problem of Women in Comics, namely, whether there are enough of them, and if not, what, if anything, should be done to fix that...
