CC2010: Students Of The Unusual and Visionary Comics
WWE’s Jerry “The King” Lawler and a fan
I talk to quite a few of the small presses at Comic Con, and the majority has nothing new or interesting to hook me with. Most seem to have very little in the long range plan department, tell me how to buy their stuff on line, or are simply rehashes of someone else’s good idea. So I ran across an interesting small press booth while wandering aimlessly around the floor. This booth was shared by two publishers, Students of the Unusual and Visionary Comics.

Comic Review: Blood Factory
The Blood Factory
While cruising the dealers’ floor at Comic Con, I came across several exhibits of interest. I want to review what was probably the most unusual booth I saw at the convention – The Blood Factory. The first thing you notice is the prop where a person gets in this table with their upper bodies visible, their lower bodies hidden behind a fleshless, dismembered lower body. This was a popular stop and always had a line of patrons waiting to imitate a victim. But there is more to The Blood Factory then a fun effect and pretty lab assistants.
