With 2014 almost at an end…..I thought I’d take a look ahead to some of the UK Comic Cons that are on offer in 2015. Some I’ll return to and some new additions I’ll try for the first time.

It wouldn’t be a proper year of comics without a Lou Scannon issue and we had #7 debut at this year’s Thought Bubble last month.

Stiffs is another recent discovery from the tables at this year’s Thought Bubble and it’s a title with an impressive mix of ideas…..and creators involved.

With a year full of small press titles that were worth reading this one was one of the most recent as it received it’s debut at Thought Bubble back in October after a phenomenal Kickstarter campaign.

Yesterday (9th November) saw the start of Thought Bubble, a week long art festival in Leeds that ends with a weekend long Comic Con that’s become arguably the best in the country. It’s focus on a mix of comic creators and some big name guests has been a highlight for me & many others in recent years and the date is blocked out on calendar’s well in advance as it proves to be a great opportunity for friends to catch up – be they artists, writers, cosplayers or just comic book fans. A big part of my weekend tends to be scouring the small press tables for the next addition to my reading/review pile and here’s some of the suggestions I’d have for titles to look out for…..

It feels like a while since I had my hands on a new issue of Lou Scannon but no matter how much time passes between those issues it’s always been worth the wait and after six consistent issues so far I was hoping that issue #7 would continue that momentum.
