Picking up pennies, knocking on wood, collecting rabbit's feet . . . you name it. That is, until she steps on a crack and it actuallydoes break her mother's back. To save her mom, Alex must follow Hubbub Caskside, a trusty leprechaun, on a journey through the end of a rainbow to Haphaven, the world where all of Earth's superstitions draw their power. All she needs is a rabbit's foot to save her mom, but she soon discovers the lucky article won't be so easy to retrieve. Not only is the rabbit's foot guarded by Haphaven's most formidable creature, the Jinx, there's also a forest full of trees that knock back if you don't knock on wood, people named Penny who do not like to be picked up, and a particularly vindictive black cat who will not be crossed. As Alex finds herself desperately searching for a way to save her mom, she learns of a mysterious connection between her family's fate and the rulers of Haphaven. With her mother's life on the line and her own fate at stake, Alex must find the strength within herself to unlock the mystery and take back control of the superstitions that have controlled her life . . . even if it means crossing the Black Cat once and for all. Buy It: https://www.onipress.com/news/ryz5ao5t7jo5gbtgz9vz7p4860tjk1Thank you so much for listening and spreading the word about our little comic book podcast.   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/comicsfunprofit  Merch https://comicsfunprofit.threadless.comYour Support Keeps Our Show Going On Our Way to a Thousand EpisodesDonate Here https://bit.ly/36s7YeLAll the C4FaP links you could ever need  https://beacons.ai/comicsfunprofit Listen To the Episode Here: https://comcsforfunandprofit.podomatic.com/

Here at The Convention Collective, we really like THE SEQUELS. Like, *really* like THE SEQUELS! Published by Fanbase Press, written by Norm Harper, with art by Val Halvorson and Bobby Timony, it has been ticking all of our boxes in terms of '80s nostalgia, sci-fi, horror and action tropes and a wonderful sense of empowerment and self-analysis that you don't often find in modern comics. (Seriously, we've flipped for this book: do check out Samantha Maybe's reviews for Issues #1 and #2, here http://theconventioncollective.com/sandbox/the-sequels-1-holy-80s-nostalgia-batman, and here http://theconventioncollective.com/sandbox/the-sequels-2-review-testing-the-limits-of-friendship-in-space) At Emerald City Comic Con, Samantha was given the chance to talk to writer Norm Harper about the book, about what drove him to write it, about the methods he took to tackling some of the more fundamental underpinnings of THE SEQUELS in terms of how it deals with mental health, and what he has in store for the book down the line as well as his upcoming book, HAPHAVEN. It's a great chat and we hope you enjoy... Thanks to Norm for taking time out of his busy con, and to Samantha for bringing the interview to us…

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections. However, Derek and Andy resist the urge to play armchair quarterbacks, so they don't second-guess the six-member panel of judges or focus on what they would have chosen if they had been on the selection committee. As diligent comics scholars, they judicial and discerning in their commentary. At the same time, they don't shy away from pointing out a few inconsistencies and a few head-scratchers when trying to make sense of this year's nominations.
