It’s just over a week till the kick off of the Toronto Comic Art’s Festival for 2010, and we here at Sequential are very proud to be taking part in some small way in the event by presenting our second print edition!

Sequential Pulp 2 [now online]

There will be 500 copies on hand at the show, free for anyone to grab – last year we ended up with nothing left over so it’s safe to say they will move!
The digital PDF version will go live on this site the Friday before the show.
Till then here’s the cover and index page.
We’re bigger this year, with more comics, more emphasis on creators, content specifically designed to help you pick out books and creators to look for at TCAF.

Big shout outs to our sponsors! Guerilla Printing, The Beguiling, Fan Expo Canada, The Doug Wright Awards, & Conundrum Press. Koyama Press, Paradise Comics, City of Craft, Smiley Guy Studios, & Steam Whistle Brewing!

and TheFablerBlog.com & Books.Torontoist.com for donations of content.
