Comics Creators Meet‑Up! April 26

D.C. Conspiracy will host another Comics Creators Meet‑Up! April 26. Come hang out, talk shop, and catch up with fellow cartoonists. Plus, we’re turning it into a mini‑comic swap.

Bring any comics you’ve made: new, old, experimental, really anything. It’s a low‑pressure hang with people who get what you do. Share your work, chat, and grab a drink. (And totally cool to come empty‑handed.)

MEET UP: Sunday, APRIL 26, from 5–8pm at Aura Bar & Grill (5247 Wisconsin Ave NW, one block south from the Friendship Heights Metro).

The D.C. Conspiracy will be at: RisuCon!

​A Comic, Anime, and Cosplay Convention in Montgomery County, Maryland featuring media screenings, seminars, contests, cosplay, vendors, and more!

(formerly MonkeyCon) Risu means squirrel in Japanese. Japan is the source of so much of our fandom and inspiration, and... there are a LOT of squirrels in Maryland.

Saturday and Sunday August 17 & 18, 2024 at the Montgomery County Conference Center Find out more at:

What’s coming out this Wednesday? March 16 edition

Rainy March weather, but sunny comic pleasure!

A&A #1 - Rafer Roberts & David Lafuente

You might know local artist Rafer Roberts (aka @plasticfarm) from his super creepy Nightmare the Rat series in Magic Bullet, or from that “Thanos & Darkseid: Carpool Buddies of Doom” comic he did, or from his backup stories in Shutter, Tiger Lawyer and otherwise. But now he’s writing Archer & Armstrong! He’ll be leading one of our Comix Workshops this month as part of a signing here at Fantom on March 26–be there.

Help Us! Great Warrior TP - Madeleine Flores

In a world dominated by burly superheroes staring at each other waaaay too closely, it’s really nice to have a hero that enjoys eating pizza, rocking hot lipstick and being silly. After a ridiculously long wait, the complete collected edition of Madeleine Flores’ Help Us! Great Warrior is finally available from Boom, so come scoop it up this week!

Monstress #4 - Marjorie Liu & Sana Takeda

Maika’s dangerous journey continues as she searches for answers about her mother and the monster within herself. Inquisitrixes are still hot on her tail and tensions are high. Danger is always around the corner for this arcanic girl and her companions. The first arc of this epic fantasy is slowly coming to an end AND THERE’S STILL SO MUCH TO FIND OUT.

Gotham Academy vol. 2 - Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl

The impending release of this vol. 2 made us realize we’ve never done a Gotham Academy book club! So we’re fixing that by doing one on April 17. DOOO IT. If you haven’t checked out this super underrated “Hogwarts in Gotham” teen mystery series yet, we’ve got vol. 1 at the store.

Amazing Forest #3 - Ulises Fariñas, Erick Freitas, Job Yamen, Skuds McKinley, Austin Breed, Zoe Crockett

This innovative new anthology series spearheaded by IDW workhorses Ulises Fariñas and Erick Freitas is catching our attention again with issue #3 because it features work by local DC-based artist (and Fantom subscriber!) @austinbreed. Check ittt

So what are you picking up this week?

From Fantom Comics:

“So, we felt like doing something awesome for February, so in honor of Black History Month we're holding book clubs and events that shine some light on some of our favorite titles and how they(and the industry at large) portray and address issues pertaining to being black in this society: 2/4 - Miles Morales: Spider-Man 2/11 - Princeless 2/18 - Shaft Vol.1 & Shaft: Imitation of Life #1 2/22 - Fantom Discourse: Afrofuturism - What If Wakanda Existed? 2/25 - Power Man & Iron Fist   Be it a black character or black creator, we feel these titles exemplify the month's theme: Black Excellence in Comics. So come on out and show some love.”

Check it out! We had the great experience of using the MLK Library's Espresso Book Machine to print an anthology of DC Conspiracy comics! Presented with the DC Library Press, it comes in at 76 pages, with 17 artists, including an introduction to the EBM, so that you can make a book of your own. We'll be selling copies at the D.C. Author Festival at the MLK Library on October 24 (http://dclibrary.org/DCAuthorFest), but it will be available afterward, too, for those who can't make it downtown.
