Freelance comic artist, Chris Moreno, gave us a few minutes to talk about his latest project: Zombie Dickheads. It’s a unique twist on the zombie apocalypse where some zombies DON’T eat people. Moreno also chats about his source of inspiration and discusses the relevance of tablets like the iPad and Kindle in the comic industry.

During our visit to the 2011 Long Beach Comic Convention, we bumped into (and thankfully didn’t slip) the Cannibal Banana. We asked what his deal was and he gave us details about the character’s motives, his potassium seeking goggles that help him with a deficiency, and weighed in on a hypothetical Twilight versus Jersey Shore battle.
It turned out the Cannibal Banana was just a booth banana for Sheika Lugtu (@OMGcow). You can check out her quirky online comic diary here.
The Los Angeles Derby Dolls were at Comikaze promoting their league. I was lucky enough to check out an intense game a few weeks ago (Tough Cookies versus Sirens), so I was excited to chat with them for a few minutes and find out more about the sport and players.
STEFCON 1 gave us the low down on the history of its founders, the fresh meat program, public classes, injuries (broken collar bones, ankles, tail bone injures, wrists), other roller derby associations, the league’s involvement in “Whip It”, the growth of bank track leagues, hanging out with other teams after the game, and getting hit on by guys and girls.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area, I definitely recommend checking out the Derby Dolls:
