Glad to hear you had such a good time.

I'm not sure what kind of better job to aim for to be honest. I don't have a ton of experience in the workforce and I'm kinda not interested in too much of anything that doesn't involve the creative arts.

I won't be seeing Suicide Squad until Tuesday. It's just the cheapest day to go.
Thanks for the luck!

There hasn't been a single Laika film I haven't loved, so I'm really looking forward to Kubo. I skipped Dory because I didn't even like Finding Nemo that much. I'm hoping Kubo breaks my streak of not having really loved (and kinda barely enjoying) any movie I've seen in theatres so far this year.

What a coincidence, I'm going through them FOR the call center job. What job did you end up getting through them?

Landed an interview for a call center in the Minneapolis area. Pays pretty well too. Enough to live off of even. I'm really excited about it and hope I get the job.

I've got so much to say about this it would take forever to write a proper comment to encapsulate all my thoughts. But it seems that we're of the same mind when it comes to how the DC/Marvel narrative is covered in the press/online.

That sounds absolutely awful. Gosh, I hope that didn't ruin your morale too much.

I think you should probably make new stuff. I'd put that stuff on Tumblr anyway even if it is a wasteland because it IS nice to have some sort of outlet. But that stuff isn't you anymore. It provides context for the you you are now though. But I think people will need to get acquainted with who you are now before…

The reviews on RT and Metacritic have not been pretty. I haven't read any twitter reactions.

I don't have an Instagram at all. But yeah the webcomic is online. I don't have analytics or anything so I have no idea how many readers it gets.

It's getting massacred out there. It probably deserves it though. Still I don't even really care that the movie isn't that good but the weird schadenfreude the Internet seems to get from DC failing at movies is just overwhelmingly annoying.

I'm still really nervous about self-promotion as a whole. I have a Twitter and a mostly neglected tumblr and facebook page.

Working on several books. Have a sci-fi comic anthology due out in the winter and plan to print out a couple more issues of the all-ages superhero webcomic that I write.

I've been hearing there's big things to come for CXC, Columbus's answer to TCAF. So I've got my eye on that one too.

I actually do not know how to drive. It's been my biggest obstacle with getting to cons. Second being finances. Third being my fear of flying.

That would be wonderful! I'd really appreciate that!

That'll be easier in Minneapolis. Here in Toledo the financial barrier of entry can be daunting. With only one convention in the city proper and the rest being just far enough away that I need to factor in transportation and possible lodging.

My comic is put out by an online publisher so I feel like I OWE them readership. But you have a point, getting hung up on this will not help me produce the kind of work I wanna do.

I'd still like to see online media criticism that doesn't fit a simple narrative. It seems once an idea about a movie and how it's received hits a sort of critical mass it becomes irreversible and deeper insight and more nuanced conversation becomes nearly impossible. Even the thinkpieces become superficial and seem…
