So, the BICS (Birmingham International Comic Show) was this weekend. It’s taken me a couple of days to claw back the sleep that I had to forgo to really enjoy the event. 

In lieu of an actual report on what I did, here’s a couple of links:

Paul Cornell (writer of Dr Who, Captain Britain and MI:13 and more…)

Said this: 

But most importantly, and I really think this is some sort of breakthrough, and something that kept making people go ooh and ahh all through the convention, if you have an IPhone or an IPod Touch, I’d like to direct your attention to this on ITunes:

This being P.J.Holden’s [..] comic for children, on the IPhone, for 99c a go, or the British equivalent. The oohs and ahhs (and P.J. got serious people from various serious organisations I shall not name coming over to have a look at his phone as word of mouth spread) were because this is the first comic project that I’ve seen that really takes advantage of the mobile form. 

 

John Reppion and Leah Moore said this:

The main buzz at the table, and the con in general was the Eyecandy iphone application created by PJ Holden and written by Al Ewing which is so innovative, and cool and fun to use, it made everyone at the con immediately start thinking of things to do for them. Download the first issue for 99c (0r 50p)here, and watch them like a hawk in case you miss a second of their meteoric rise to fame and stardom!

I’ll be one of the guests at BICS this year. I’m sure I’ll be wearing one of the patented Murderome T-Shirts (though maybe not the same one for the entire con…)

I’ll be getting in at 9:00pm on the Friday (not ideal, but the bloody airline decided to change my time to this later time) so you’ll all be getting drunk by then. But don’t be afraid to say hello and ask if you can see ‘Murderdrome’…

See you there…
